CD player connection question

[Nima]

Hi guys/gals:
First of all, I hope you have a good weekend. Well, fun continues. I draind my battery last night when I left my CD player installation incomplete!. I believe after I got confuse about wiring, I didn't disconnect my partial wiring and to make it worse, I left my ignition in! too.
Anyways, Can anybody tell me if I have to connect the yellow wire too? Based on the manual , yellow wire is battery wire which suppose to be connected to some where in fuse box. If that is correct, where in fuse box? Last night, I simply connected the red wire to radio connection on the fues box and the black one to ground but nothing happened.
And finally, Is the inline fuse for red wire (that one is from previous radio)as you see in the picture, suppose to be there? and if yes, what amp is it or suppose to be?
Thanks.

Yeah the yellow wire is your "memorry" battery and it needs to be connected to an allways hot fuse or well what I did was run a wire directly to the cab from the battery, it has a verry veryy small drain on the battey just enough to keep your presets saved in the headunit and yeah the red one goes to radio fuse because it is a fuse that is hot on run and acc

the red wire needs a switched power to turn your radio on and off with the ignition, and the yellow needs a constant. as far as the inline fuse, every one that i have seen was stamped with the correct amperage. if you cant find it i would probably go 5 or 7.5

The fuse block has a constant hot area to connect for a radio

I did the same thing with my first CD player. I always wired my cassette players so I could play them without the key (a habit from my old drinking days!) but that doesnt' work with the CD as I quickly found out. Only the memory wire gets constant power as mentioned above.
