I read through most of the stickies. I have one question about the amp interface.

I hooked up the four channels for the speakers no problem, now connection the HU wiring harness to the amp interface has me a bit confused.


The amp interface has two plugs coming off of it. One plug is larger than the other and has black, blue, orange, red, and yellow open leads. the smaller plug has black/white and blue/white leads. and the HU has the same leads as the larger plug. Whats throwing me off is the dammed blue wire. Its power ant/amp? Do I hook it up to the large plugs blue wire or the small? If the large one, then what do i do with the black/white, and blue/white wires on the smaller plug?

Pic below.

I hooked ground up. and will hook up the other colors (besides blue). The wire in question is the green box with the red arrow. red box is the small plug leads and the yellow box is the large plug.



Thanks for any help.

So Im digging into it today, and im still confused as to why i need the power and ground wires on the small plug

 

OK... Every thing is installed and working properly.

My antenna is constantly up when the unit is on though. I installed the adapter... any ideas?

 

Did you put to switch up on radio or do you have connected to be up all the time. I know mine comes up when its on radio, but on CD its down. Then again I have a sony.

 

I plugged the adapter into the receiver? No switch I can see.

 

The dark blue wire on the harness is the power ant. You need to connect this to the solid blue wire on the back of your head unit. This will only extend the ant when the source is on radio. The orange wire is for the dimmer don't worry about this one unless when you are driving at night the lights from the radio blind you.

The two blue with white stripes are the amp remote turn ons. You will need to have these hooked up. The black with white stripe wire is the factory amp ground.
