You need to use the factory wires from the plug of the original antenna. You need to hook up the wire that is showing constant power to the red of the antenna. Ground the black wire to the metal of the car. There is usually one more extra wire.. green or some other color from the antenna. You must hook that up to the wire that shows power only when you turn on the radio. The thick black wire fron the car (the antenna wire) just plugs into the slot on the antenna.

My Personal Installer Note: Connectors are easy, neat, and professional. But do you know how to crimp properly?

My advise to you is not to toutch anything unless you know what you're doing. But if you're going to try do it

this way.

Thin Black Wire to the ground

Thin Red Wire to constant power

Thick blach wire to the antenna connection for the signal to work

The other wire (which-ever color it is) to the remote of the radio, however it is simpler to connect it to the

ignition, that would be the BLACK/ White or BLACK/ Red wire at the ignition switch harness

Let me know how it turns out.
