Does your vehicle have the infinity sound system?

I can't help you on the power wire if you are not using a wiring harness, but the ground is the braided cable that was bolted to the back of the radio.

This is the diagram that may help you out with identifying the wire you are looking for. For the powers wire it should be pink/black, but the best bet is to use a multi-meter to test out the wire. As mention by Metra Tech the ground wire is "the braided cable that was bolted to the back of the radio". If you don't find that wire you can attach the ground wire to any metal part of the car body. I hope this helps you out.

Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. posted_image
