Power Antenna Wiring Problem, ***finally completed*** Options

[giang723]

hey guys, i'm just hooking up my head unit, problem is that in the original harness, there are two cable, however in my new head unit, there is only one. Now in the install doctor document, it said to join the two wires to the blue cable (new harness), well my question is, how does a single cable control the power antenna as compared to the original cables? does it send a pulse to raise and lower the antenna on the single cable?
Also in the secondary piece of harness(for the rear speakers) there is a small thin white wire with green stripe, not sure what this is, if u guys can point me in the right direction, it would be awesome, thanks

I've got a Australian 95 ZR btw, thanks in advance guys

If that is like USDM ones then you should hook up the one wire form the original harness that does plug into the back of the radio - that is the signal wire from the antennae to the radio. Then take the other wire and hook it up to the blue wire out of the back of the radio harness - this is the power wire for the antennae to make it go up and down. This is how mine is hooked up and it works like stock.

looks good...
you can always just get those universal DIN plates or pockets to fill in the gap of your old headunit.
but would you have gone with a double-din stereo instead?
