Head unit? Like a new deck? If that is correct, just run the wire to the fuse panel and plug into a switched fuse. Dont wire it directly into the switch wire itself. There should be a red or oranage wire that will need to be hot all the time. Get yourself a test light and find a fuse that is hot all time and connect it the same way.
