Check to see if your radio's yellow (constant) is going to a constant source because that would be the solution to your problem, also to be thorough, make sure you have a good ground. (Not just the antenna plug).

Is there an orange wire on the cigarette lighter socket?  If so, that should be a constant source.

You can run it to the fusebox, but there is a suitable wire on the factory radio harness.  It will be a yellow wire on the same plug with a black, grey and possibly a pink wire.

Disregard speaker size and antenna location.  This is for a Camaro but the wire colors are the same as your car.
