So I just wired up my new Pioneer deck and plugged it in and NONE of my speakers work. They were working before... and now they're not, and every thing else works... the deck, the antenna, everything. The only things that aren't connected to anything is the blue "amp" wire and the orange "dimmer" wires. Help!!

Did you bypass the factory amp?

Ok... so I have a wiring harness for my car that was hooked up to my Sony xplod just fine... but now I don't know how to do it. I hooked my amp up so my speakers work... but now my power antenna has no where to go. It's cool, I'm dumb... so what am I supposed to do???

On almost all new head units there is a separate wire for the amp remote(light blue i think) and a separate wire for the power antenna. If all else fails just splice them all together

Hook up your power antenna to your remote wire for the amp. It will turn on your amp and raise antenna at same time. Some of the wiring harnesses don't have a seperate remote and power antenna wire.
So you just need to splice all three (blue) wires together.

Pioneer DEH-P4400... I like it so far... I just need to pull it back out and splice all of the blue wires together.

That's what I got. It pounds. It sounds 10 times better than the $hitty factory radio. I hope you enjoy it. I just need 2 more pioneer speakers for the rear door and I will be set.

i have installed both of my radios, for free, and the beauty of it is that i picked up my 8400MP for 300 bux, when people are paying up to 600 dollars at other places.... but oh wait, they get free installation.... Pick up your speakers online man... you get the best prices, and they have factory warranty.....
