moon,thanks for the answer i will hook it up accordingly.
red71c10, thanks as well for the clarification i will do as suggested & hook up the yellow wire to cig. connection.
i am not running a wiper motor & the factory cig. lighter is not connected either. are there any suggestions on what of those wires can be used for in relation to the radio power wires???. & a amplifier connection??
thanks!!

Hey man, hope it is coming along well
. And hey it is good to hear you asking so many questions, it is much better to be safe than sorry. I think this install will go well for you!
Here are a few things:
Amp Rem wire - you don't need to hook that up. It stands for Amplifier Remote or some such. It is used when someone has an external amplifier along with the stereo. All that wire does is send a signal to the amplifier to tell it to turn on, and you have only mentioned the radio, not an external amp so don't do anything with it.
As for the 'always on' power, I think the lighter one would be fine. If you have a circuit tester you can just test different things on the fuse box and see what is always on and tap into it. The Yellow wire draws very little current, so I think no matter what wire you end up hooking up to it shouldn't hurt anything.
If you get frustrated and can't find a wire that has constant power, you can hook both the red and yellow wires together and run them from the same power source. Of course, you won't have the memory functions and clock working right on the radio, but it should work ok otherwise.
Keep us posted on how it is going man!
