Do you have a wiring diagram for your car? What isn't 'hooked' up? Power wire to motor?

Also, when you get it going, I saw a very cool mod to the antenna that you install a switch inline with the remote lead from the factory radio, so you can retract the aerial when listening to CDs (or tapes, if you're into that kind of thing). After all, radio on = antenna up.

sure, surrep - download this. I had to order the switch online, just google the part number or go to halls speedshop. This switch fits right into the blank spot on the lower side of the dash.

sorry, didn't think about that login.

I have uploaded a copy to a personal breifcase. I do not take any credit for it, the author is clearly identified in the paper.

try again, this time I just linked the folder...chose the antenna mod.pdf file.
