The Blue wire should be connected to the power antenna connection off the wiring harness, or any 12v power. It's been a while since I did my install, but I connected it to some 12v power.


You can read the reviews of the crutchfield site. PPL b1tch about the lack of instructions and having crap reception without hooking up that blue wire.
