2152, power antenna w/aftermarket head unit
Posted by loudgs, Apr-10-02 08:53 AM
does anyone know what I would have to hook up to enable my antenna? just got my 99 GS yesterday and have to have my system, the head unit is a Pioneer Premier DEH-P730, if anyone can help I'd appreciate it
Thanks

Get a wiring harness adapter to hook into your stock radio plug. The adapter you get will have the same color wires on it, and the wires on the new aftermarket radio. Just match up colors, and the dark blue wire is the power ant wire. Most new decks have this wire labeled, but some decks have 2 blue wires, one for a power ant, and the other is a amp turn on wire. Be sure to use the right one.

when you say,.. "getting your antena to work" you mean getting a signal from it or making it go up and down?? if your talking about getting a signal form it.. there are 2 wires that come off the stock radio. The skinny/thin grey wire is the one that you want to attach toe the new head unit. but most likely it wont fit cause its to thin.. just try to find a adaptor at radio shack. thats where I got mine.. dont remember the part number though. just go and look on the wall there. you will find it. about hooking up all the wires to the radio.. just go get a wire harness.. it makes life easier. only cost about 15-20 bucks from like circuit city/best buy. then everything is labeled and color matched. thats about it.

yea man, well, I got an idea and just spliced my remote wire for my amp since it's a turn off/on signal wire for the radio and wired the power window wire in that came off the aftermarket wiring harness, works great, thanks guys
