Well. Not knowing what model hu you are working with and no wiring diagrams I think I'm done here. I don't know how to help you.

I"m really curious about the relay he'* got. Why on earth is there a relay for the HU?

You need schematics for the HU and your car.

I think whoever did the current hu grabbed a power or ground from that relay but without a diagram we have no way of knowing. Not feasible to reverse engineer it.
