After Market Radio Istallation

[black_versa]

I bought a Pioneer DEH-P2900MP Radio and I bought a Wire and Antenna harness for Nissan Versa 07-08.

The Wire Harness has an orange wire and in the harness manual says its for the illumination but the radio doesn't have an orange wire so what should i do with it?

Also the Antenna has a blue wire what should i do with it?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Not all radios will use all of the wires. Just tape up the ends of the unused wires.

I have never used the illumination wire for Pioneer stereo installs and the blue wire is for the subwoofer amp (if applicable). The blue wire tells the amp to shut off with the stereo.

then where would you connect the blue wire ? i bought aftermarket radio too ( i have sentra with 7 speakers) and the subwoofer is dead.

I am no expert but I have installed quite a few stereos and there are a few standards within the industry. Blue wires are usually reserved for a power antenna and the orange wire is usually reserved for amp switching. In either case your installation manual should tell you what each wire is for and the connection sheet that came with your harness should say which wire goes where. Just match them up. any unused wires should be cut short and taped. Now for my question.
I just bought a new '09 Versa last week and want to know if anyone has illustrations on how to take apart the front console so I can change the radio. Crutchfield seems to be of no help in this regard so any help would be appreciated.
