Really dude?! He did ask for help and knows nothing...the least you could do is help him out. Save the BS for JK posts. Or don't help at all.
Dunno wtf is wrong with people last few days must be that time of the month for ya'll.

OP, both red/yellow wire go together which turns on the HU (radio) and of course the black wire is ground. Ground that wire 1st before connecting the red/yellow wire. The other colored wiring is for your speakers.

Correct me if I am wrong, aren't you older, like close to 40?

If so you think that you are to connect the red and yellow wires together? If that was correct why would there be 2 wires? Why wouldn't head units just have 1 wire?

How is the radio supposed to retain it's settings everytime the car is turned off?

Red is always switched

Yellow is always constant

Black is always ground

Blue is for power antenna control

seriously, I think you need your hands beat with a hammer.
You can go to any walmart in America and buy a adapter for $10 that would connect your radio to your factory connector.

What an idiot!

Um, what does my age have to do with helping this person out?

I already answered about wiring question....see page 1.

You shouldn't offer any advice if you think 2 diff colored wires should go together or not. Google it if you don't know.

What's wrong with Wal-Mart? I shop there all the time. Groceries is one of them. Other stuff it depends. But it's almost cheaper there than any other stores around me for the same exact thing.
