[V8] [Bulk] Re: Radio wiring, could use some help

[urq]

The relay is probably the one that powers the Bose speaker amps.  If you
don't know that these wires are hacked and likely to short you may want to
find and pull the relay.  

IME, aftermarket stereo decks don't hook up to the dash illumination dimmer

A few angry words later and I got the alpine deck to power on.

Pluging in the pair of white wires raises and lowers the antanae ok and also
triggers a relay in the pass side footwell.  (probably for the ant.?)  

looks like the grey-blk wire may be for interior light but the radio doesn't
seem to dim right.  Only two buttons even change color.   Looks like when
lights go on/off it registers by dimming slightly, but with lights on it
doesn't work with the dimmer switch in the IC.  

that should be 90% of what I need right there.

Had issues because the radio uses an ignition 12v source as a kill switch so
I wired it to the red-blu wire for testin reasons.  Long way to go, though.

The factory is as follows:

Red/Blue-Constant power from fuse 4 - also power for the amps
Brown-Ground
Gry/Blk-Interior lights system

There is no ignition power, as the radio is feed constant. There should be 
power from either the Brn/Gry or the white wire for the antennae, the 
schematic that I have is not 100% clear.

If you are using an aftermarket deck, the power antenna wire will be blue 
off it. Does your car have a power antenna? From the factory they use an 
antennae in the front window and one in the rear. They combine in the back 
of the stock stereo.
