[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 431538, member: 18789"] Ok, makes a lot more sense. Now that we know you extended the wires and used your own colors, you’ll have to use a meter to figure out what’s what… will you be powering speakers off of the radio? Just two speakers, one at each side of the dash? Sound bar or no? the wiring you for sure need is the ground, the ignition power (tells radio to turn on) and constant power (for the clock and preset memory). Depending on if your radio supports it you will want to hook up to the orange dash illumination wire which will dim the radio for you at night and possibly change its display color if you set the radio that way. If you are powering speakers from the radio you will want to wire up the wires corresponding to each speaker. On a 2 speaker setup that would just be 4 total wires. Not hard to do any of this, just need to know what is what as it relates to your non-stock wiring. We have no clue what each color wire is for on your setup. [/QUOTE]
