Head Unit
Hi people and thanks in advance....
I have installed head units before with no problem but now I am trying to hook my dad's up. This is an older Alpine CD player model number CDM-7833
It is an 88 Trooper II and we got the wiring harness hooked mostly.
--There were no leads from the radio's harness for the illumination so on the wiring harness that plugs into vehicle, I have an illumination and positive dimmer wire that are not connected.
--From the radio's harness I have a power antenna that is not hooked up because their is not place on the wiring harness.
--I also have another wire that is not stated on the wire diagram on the head unit that is not hooked up.
Can someone please help me. I have tryed to power it up how it is but I get nothing

Re: Head Unit
Ok I made my own ground now and still no power. There is a battery lead and one other power cable(red and yellow). How and could I just get power directly from the battery with a switch or something????
There is also this cirulalar prong thing the almost looks like an rca plug and there is a hole that it fits in on the head unit. What does that do? Antenna maybe???

Re: Head Unit
ok i fixed it- the prong thing was the antenna, i just connected the two power wires from the radio together and voila. I had a blown radio fuse which i replaced and now everything works.
