If you are unsure of the remote wire, locate your radio fuse and get a fuse connector. hook it into the fuse and run it wherever you need it. all the remote does is swith the equipment on and off.
If it is a RDS system, then you will need to connect the blue wire to the remote wire on the amplifier.
it is the blue with a white stipe
if you are using an aftermarket wiring harness hook up the remote turn on wire on the new radio it should be blue with a white stripe to the harness also has a blue and white stripe and plug it in this wire turns on the factory amplifier if you are not using a harness you will have to locate the internal amplifier wire of the radio and connect that to the remote turn on on the aftermarket radio = answer = the inernal apm power wire is white on the black wire harness ANSWER if you dont want to use the factory amp. just run new speaker wires to each speaker.
No. You buy a waring harness and connect it to the car wiring and the amp to the speakers there behind the radio.
If your are using a wire kit, you need to connect the blue and/or blue/white wire from the harness to the blue/white wire from your radio. Now if you have cut your wires you will have to locate the one wire that will turn on your factory amp.Good Luck!!!!
Many aftermarket companies sell adapters for aftermarket wire harnesses. They have the original factory harness at one end and you cennect that to the harness that came with the radio. Check your local car audio installer.
That depends. There should be two red power wires on the back of an aftermarket deck. One will be 'constant' power, the other will be 'switched' power. The 'constant' one always has power, so that radio stations and other settings aren't erased when the vehicle is turned off. I'm assuming you're not using an adapter harness to connect the aftermarket deck directly to the GM radio harness.(always the preferable option) Most of the time(when not using an adapter harness) I will locate a pre-existing wire in the dash that is 'constant', and tap into that for the 'constant'. The 'switched' power can be connected to the factory radio's 'switched' power source. You'll have to figure out which wire that is in the GM harness and connect to that, or (not so ideally) cut that wire and connect it to the deck.

I'm not sure how to bypass the amplifier, but it is located behind the glove box. There are two harnesses that connect it to the radio. The bottom harness is removed by squeezing the ears and pulling off. The upper harness' release is on the rear facing side and is more difficult to operate. I used a small box-end wrench to take off the mounting bracket, then you can pull the amplifier out and turn it to see the clip.
The on/off lead is a light pink on the first harness on the Bose amplifier (bigger clip). Keep in mind this is the 8 speaker premium sound package but im sure the 6 speaker package is also the same. The amplifier is located on the back wall in the trunk on the left side, just remove the plastic cover!

it should be the blue and white wire
Here is the info in your vehicle: Radio 12v red/white + radio harness Radio Ground black - radio harness Radio Ignition (GMLAN Serial Data) Radio Illumination yellow (dimmer) + radio harness Factory Amp Turn-on same as power antenna wire Power Antenna white + radio harness LF Speaker +/- tan - gray +,- radio harness or amplifier Notes: If equipped, the amplifier is under the rear of the center console. At the amplifier, the left subwoofer wires are dk. blue/white (+) - lt. green/black (-). The right subwoofer wires are dk. green (+) - lt. blue/black (-). RF Speaker +/- lt. green - dk. green +,- radio harness or amplifier LR Speaker +/- brown - yellow +,- radio harness or amplifier RR Speaker +/- dk. blue - lt. blue +,- radio harness or amplifier
Usually when you get the radio the place you bought it will have a wiring harness that will fit the car. If not then go to a radio installation shop and ask for one. This will then plug right into the factory car harness and then you connect the radio to this harness. That's it. Good luck.
do you by chance have the factory BOSE system? if so it could be that you did not wire up the Bose amplifier i believe its the pink wire comming off the small harness that does not get plugged into the aftermarket harness Adam
the harness
Go to www.installdr.com and they will walk you through it. You need an adapter for a non-Honda radioAnswerPagan Audio (on Ebay) as well as AUTOTOYS on the internet sell "Metra" wiring harness for around $10 ~ $15 That will match your factory harness so you won't have to cut and spice and also have a secondary plug which will plug into the car's factory plug and allow you to retain factory alarm/keyless entry and dome light. AnswerThe harness Pagan Car Audio (Ebay) does not work for a 98. The pigtail harness they sell has a "male" connector and so does the factory keyless entry/alarm harness from the car. You must cut the ground, 12V continuous (yellow) and the ignition (red) wires from both harnesses and connect them for there harness to work, a pain. AnswerI had to keep my stock radio harness in the dash when i replaced mine. The keyless entry sensor is located in the harness.
if you are talking about an aftermarket radio's amp turn on wire then without an amp you can just cap it off. if the harness used to connect to new radio to your factory wires has a blue antenna/factory amp then you can connect it to that provided the new radio doesnt have a second blue wire for that purpose.
The factory wiring harness for the trailers will plug in under the back of the vehicle in the area of the spare tire, the harness plugs into the wiring harness for the tail lights.
