blk = ground
blu = antenna
red = 12v pwr (acc)
yllw = 12v pwr (all times)

sooo if i understand right...:
red = to fuse "blade" on panel (like in picture)

yellow = to a wire that is only "live" when the acc. is turned on (??) (does anyone know where or what wire might work????

black = to cab ground

a new question for you guys..... i have a blue (w/ white stripe) wire that is labeled ""amp rem"" i assume that it goes to the amplifier, but i wonder what it is for???

thanks again!!!
Red would go to the fuse panel "Radio" connection. Yellow should be full time power since it's there to power the memory for the clock and station presets. I'm thinking the lighter ("CIG") connection is your best bet for full time power. The black ground wire can be redundant depending on how you install the stereo, but it never hurts.
