OK. I understand your predicament. Firstly, the connections that need to be made are:

orange/white - connect to any light source in the car that comes on when you turn your headlights on. In my car, I spliced this wire into the wire that illuminates my cigarette lighter. What this does is when you turn your headlights on, the head unit display turns down a little so as it is not as bright when driving at night. Not 100% necessary, but it does the trick.

For your antenna, I assume it is electric, you can utilise the blue/white wire coming out of the head unit. This is the same wire that turns your amplifier on, if you have one, but it can also be used to raise and lower your antenna.

If you do the connections like that, you won't have any problems with anything and it will all work the way that it should. Just be sure to solder and cover all connections that are made.

I hope this helps you out.

Good luck

If you do the connections like that, you won't have any problems with anything and it will all work the way that it should. Just be sure to solder and cover all connections that are made.

Solder the cables and also shrink-wrap them (shrink wrap can be found at DSE for about $2 a tube).

I find shrink wrap the best, because it doesn't tighten down hard core onto the solder job, it shrinks until it makes contact with everything, therefore is you have slight spikey bits from an ammeture solder job, the spikes wont break through the insulation and become exposed points.

I find that if you wrap in only electrical tape, there is 90% change of a sharp bit finding it's way though the tape and becoming a contact point, and this is what causes problems later on in the install.

Some headunits also have 2 remote wires, 1 is for the Amplifier, the other for the power antenna, because the power antenna is only used when you switch the radio on, otherwise if you use CD's, it stays down.

i ended up conecting the antenna to the ignition switch so when it is at the aac position the antenna goes up.

so when the car is on the antenna will go up

i did try connecting the antenna to the blue and white wire but it didn't work and i couldn't be bothered trouble shooting

and for the orange/white wire i just didn't bother i prefer it on full brightness any way but if i change my mind it easy to fix

thx for the help every body

haven't run it with my speakers

i will tell u how it goes
