use the 6 pin connection to get power behind the radio and ground to the car. don't use the 10 pin harness







the RED ACC wire connects to the grey wire
the YELLOW 12V wire conncets with the blue wire with the yellow stripe

Appreciate the detailed write up and the model # dusouth

No more cutting the factory wires

That is a clean installation you have there!
