Metra Electronics 40-NI12 Antenna Cable
Stupid question for those that have done the aftermartket install.
This connector is straight forward. One end plugs into the factory harness, and the RCA jack connects into the head unit. There is a blue wire that I have no idea what it is for. There were of course no instructions that came with the kit. When I tested the unit after install at my buddies house in Jax, we had AM/FM. Driving back to Daytona I lost all AM/FM. I plan on pulling the head unit tonight and double check the connection, I'm just wondering if anyone knows what to do with the blue cable as we just left it blank. Thank you in advance. Erik |

That blue wire has to go to your powered antenna turn on OR your REM/ Amp turn on wire. This powers up your powered antenna in your back window and allows you to get signal.

If I run the blue wire from the antenna cable to the REM slot in the AMP, will this solve my problem? Or, will I need to find another 12V power source? I appreciate the help BTW! |
