[QUOTE="Mooncatt, post: 8675340, member: 676968"] Let's start at the beginning, because I was going back over this thread and I'm thinking you may have some wires connected wrong. When using wire harness adaptors, they follow an aftermarket color code standard that the aftermarket radios also use. You should always splice like colors together. So red from the radio should splice to red on the harness, even if it looks to be coming from the chime box. I have a G6 that uses a similar system, and my red ignition wire originated at the chime box. If I understand you right and you spliced the antenna wire from the radio into the pink wire of the adaptor, that may have been a data cable or a power wire meant to trigger the chime box that then sends power to the radio. From looking at other harnesses for your car, it looks like the pink wire is directly connected between two plugs, meaning you shouldn't mess with it. If you did splice into it, hopefully it didn't fry anything. If your car doesn't have a power antenna, then that wire should have any exposed copper covered and protected, left unused. So double check that you matched the wires correctly. Also, that Scoche kit came with several harnesses to use based on your vehicle. So double check that you're using the correct harness too.
