car stereo wiring
ok so i'm pretty confident in trying to install my new cd player in my truck thanks to your guys input on a previous thread, but i still have one question for you stereo gurus. the stereo came with wiring instuctions saying where each individual where should be hooked up. the only trouble i have is understanding where to hook up the remote wire, it is a blue wire and the directions say it hooks up to the antenna. maybe i'm just not understanding but that doesn't really make sense to me. the unit in question is a pioneer cd player (deh-2000). thanks...any help would be greatly appreciated

Re: car stereo wiring
Don't need it in our case. If I recall right that's just for cars that have the power antennas.

Re: car stereo wiring
As long as you have the antenna cable from the antenna plugged into the radio, you don't need the blue wire.

Re: car stereo wiring
Blue wire is for a electric antenna or anything else that needs power after you turn the radio on. Plug the cable from the antenna into back of radio.

Re: car stereo wiring
Yeah,you don't need to use the blue wire unless you have a power antenna. I can't wait to install my cd player. It'll be the easiest car-audio install I've done. 5 wires. Constant, switched, ground, and 2 speaker wires.

Re: car stereo wiring
Blue wire is also used for an amp.
