Everything works on my radio (dvd, ipod, cd...) except my radio. Can't get a good signal. I was told there's a power antenna wire or something. What wires do I have to hook up to get it? Only wire I see free back there is ONE blue one, no other ones to connect it to. Do I have to splice it in somewhere's?

It is usually a blue wire but don't get it confused with the remote wire (blue and white). It should just connect to the power antenna wire on the harness.

The only blue wire I have back there is to my amp remote wire. If that's not it, where do I hook that wire up to?

If you do not have both wires you can use the amp remote wire to do it. You may want to add a relay if you have more than one amp though.

Using the vehicle specific one for my car. I had this radio and harness installed in my 1st 08 xB that I had, but for some reason I can't get it to work in this one.
