put your hand into the hole, search deeper you should probably find hte antenna plug somewhere. as mentioned before do you check if you have power in your ignition wire ?
and did you check if the HU work on another car or battery, maybe your HU is simply dead

I bought a pioneer, I'll look for the model # tommorrow. The antenna is connected. The new HU is new and I'm pretty sure it works. I thought is was the code because I read it in the Hades book, but if you think it's not then I'll just ignore it. But what is this ignition wire? Can you tell more about this. It could be what's wrong. Does it help if I take a picture and show you guys? Thanks

Coming from your vehicle there should be a black wire with a pink stripe which is your ignition switch wire. you know how when you turn off your ignition it turns off the radio? (prevents dead batteries) Well this wire triggers it. if it doesnt get power, your radio will never turn on thinking the ignition is off.
This black wire with the pink stripe should be attached to the Red wire coming from your radio

Sorry CarpePoon, I completely missed that. I did see a couple of wires that I didn't wire. I remember which ones, I'll take it apart again tommorrow and check to see if it completely matches. Thanks again bro.

I GOT IT!!! I went back and looked and retraced all my steps and found out what was wrong. It seems the wiring was correct but one of the fuses was dead. I didn't notice it because I was testing it with one of those fuse tester that came packaged with the box of fuse from AutoZone. The only reson I noticed it was because it was a little bit dark color then the rest, but the element didn't break. I tested with the "fuse tester" and it showed the green light indicating it was good. But when I put the multimeter on, it showed a little resistance so I just replaced it and the HU came to life. Oh god, 3 weeks without music was just hell. Thanks you for all you guys help, without it, I would've just driven the car into a wall because of all the frustration. Oh yea, stay away from those little white "fuse tester" that came with the fuse box, it doesn't do sh*t. Thanks again everybody.

Good to hear you got it straightened out.
I agree about the no music thing. Granted, it's nice to listen to my Duratec, but once I'm on the highway and set the cruise, I get bored and need to listen to something other than my own thoughts.
