HU blue and blue/white wires

[bgballin26 10+ year member]

I'm wiring a kenwood excelon 696 hu for my 2011 Nissan Altima, I'm using the Metra 70-7552 wire harness and also the Metra 40-ni12 antenna adapter with the blue wire.

1. Do i connect the blue/white wire and blue wire from the cd player to the matching wires on the metra harness?

2. I'm hooking up an amp, so i will be running the remote wire (amp turn on), do i just splice into the 2 connected blue/white wires? And should i do the same with power antenna wire to the blue wires?

Or do i only need to wire the antenna and amp turn on wire to the cd player and leave the blue and blue/white wire on the metra connector unhooked and tape them up? Any help on this will be much appreciated, I want to make sure i'm doing this right the first time.

If your car does not have a power antenna, just hook up your remote wire to the wire coming off kg the HU harness.

Run the blue/white straight to the amp remote in. No need to connect it to the harness.

Connect the blue wire from the HU to the blue wire on the harness. It may or may not be necessary, but it doesn't hurt anything to connect it.
