Help!!! Radio INstall

I just got my new deck in. The harness I bought doesnt seem to have power antenna. What wire coming off of the harness(going to the radio) is the power antenna wire?

Thanks,

Spiro

power antenna wire = remote turn on. We don't have a power antenna so it is an unless wire on your head unit.

Is this your first car stereo install?? What are you trying to do?? How are you trying to install the head unit. Are you installing new amps or are you going to use the bose amp??

If you are looking for the remote turn on wire for the Bose amp it is Yel/Wht in the stock radio wiring harness!

Hope that help!

Spiroh,
Use the remote wire to turn on the Blose amp (Yel/Wht).

OK, I checked the fuses, and I blew 2 of them. I replaced them and all is good now. Tomorrow when I get more time I will install this thing. So far it looks very good. The wiring harness I got for the v6 accord sucks ass. It doesnt even have all the wires.

Odd. The harness I bought from Best Buy was good. I got all the wires that I needed. Maybe it's brand dependent.

SK,

It probably is. The only wire that I'm missing is the remote lead. Other then that it has everything else.

Honda/Acura use two wires for the dimmer function. I'm not sure which wire you need to use, but here they are.

Pin 9 RED/BLK ILLU+
Pin 19 RED ILLU-


Hope this helps!
