Answer
You can download the installation manual if you don't already have it from retrevo.com (just google the model number for the manual).

Page 4 of the install manual gives picture and instructions on how to connect the two power wires.

YELLOW: Goes to + battery (through a fuse) to provide always on 12v to the unit.  This wire is carrying the major current to the unit.

RED: Goes to ignition and is the remote turn-on lead when the ignition is turned on.   This wire carries very little current as it is more a signal current. It is connected to any line which has 12v when the ignition is in ACC or ON.

Hope this helps.
