I recently picked up a Monster 300W inverter for about $20, new. I have very
little need for AC power except perhaps to charge a laptop or the boy's PSP.
Maybe run a small fan while camping.

Anyway, there is a wire that is meant to attach to the head unit -
presumably the stereo head unit. The instructions give little detail. I'm
guessing that it will power on the inverter when the stereo is turned on? I
want to know if this is a necessary part of an inverter install or just some
dubious "feature."

Cheers,
