[QUOTE="Zach85, post: 1086365, member: 546438"] Here, I'll just describe all the wires from all three sources, including the Head Unit which I will use that PDF manual I linked to... [B]EQ[/B] Red - 12v power Black - ground orange - Remote On [B]Harness for car for factory connectors[/B] Red - Ignition Power Orange - Illumination Yellow - Constant Power Orange/Black - Light Dimmer Wire (I have the end taped up right now as you suggested) Blue - Power Antenna the 8 speaker wires [B]CD Player (according to Jensen's website)[/B] Dark Blue - Power Antenna Black - Ground Yellow - Memory/Battery Red - Accessory/Ignition the 8 speaker wires (no color mentioned) there's only 12 wires coming from the CD Player, and 13 wires coming from the car's harness. According to the Install Doctor, like you said, the Dimmer would not be used. The Ground from the CD Player has to be connected to the chassis, so that leaves me with one wire extra from the harness, which turns out to be the illumination. However, from my experience the Illumination should be used! Otherwise the dash's light may not work. SOOOO... I would like to wire it as following: - all three RED power (HU, Car, and EQ) and the Illumination from the car together, to power both units and the Dash Light - the two yellows (Car and HU) together for time, radio presets, and other memory functions - the 2 grounds (HU and EQ) connected to the chassis via a screw and ring terminal connector - the speakers should be color coded nearly the same, which won't be difficult. - the two blues (Car and HU) for the power antenna. that leaves me with just the Remote On from the EQ, which I'm still confused as to if that means when it should be remotely turned on (i.e. with Ignition of car) or if that is in fact the same as Illumination. Either way though, it would be connected in a 5 way splice with the 3 Red power and the Illumination from the car. OR, as you once suggested, that should be connected with the blue wires, which are both for the Power Antenna. I just don't understand why it has anything to do with the Power Antenna. If it weren't for that freakin' Remote On wire, I wouldn't still be here typing this at 6AM in the morning. haha basically to sum it all up, I just need to know what to do with the Remote On wire, and then I should be fine with installing the CD Player and EQ in my car once I get the CD Player, and once I get my car back from the garage (Turbocharger died on me, having a new one put in this week).
