here is how I wired the new system,memory wire to cigar lighter(red),I used a fuse extender and hooked it to fuse box (radio fuse)for ignition wire,antenna wire to stock plug(gray wire) and for the ground it also went to the cigar lighter . My stereo does not have a dimmer, If anyone knows of a problem that I my have please post

If your car is a '94, then the CDM is in the rear compartment, and the FAQ tells you to run a set on wires from it to the new radio. What you did sounds OK, but how are you picking up the antenna wire? On my car, the antenna only goes up when the radio is on, not the Siruis or CD's, which is most of the time.

I used a antenna extension to hook up the antenna (LET ME CORRECT ONE THING) I used the pink wire for my antenna not the gray wire as stated in my previous post
