aftermarket stereo wiring

[benjammin]

I have a 93...Am I right in saying that the yellow w/black stripe is the accessory, and the blue w/black stripe is the antenna?...The JVC stereo Im installing has an illumination wire that goes to the cars light control switch, What wire does that go to?

yellow/black i'm pretty sure is the 12v source, and iirc, the red wire is 12v switched. why are you hard-wiring instead of using a harness? especially without a wiring diagram in front of you?

my suggestion to you would be as stated in the above post. Get yourself a stock wiring harness - wire to your stock wires - matching colors, Then get yourself an aftermarket harness to plug into the stock harness, If you are going with an amp bypass setup there is already a harness for that in the sho - look to the left side in the din hole - that unused harness can be used for running an aftermarket stereo with the stock amps removed.
