the blue wire is usually the remote wire for amps..the antenna wire (usually a fat black wire) should be in the car already and plug directly into the back of the unit..

well if u have an power antenna there should be a blue wire and a blue and white on the cd player harness. blue is for power antenna and blue and white is a remote turn on lead for amps and such. u can use eather if u dont have both or if u dont have eather wires u can tap the power antenna wire into ur red switched power wire off of the radio harnness. that will still trigger ur power antenna when ever the radio is powered up

You can attatch the power antenna wire coming from the car to the switched power wire (red wire) from the Pioneer. If you do that, the antenna will go up whenever the radio is on, and go down when the radio is off. The only thing is that the antenna will remain up when your listening to a CD. Radio's with power antenna wires will put the antenna down when your playing a CD. If your Pioneer truly has no power antenna wire, this is your only solution. Or you can use the remote lead wire like mikenichol said.

I got a 1990 Acura Integra GS, i put a Pioneer Deck in it and i have to turn the deck on manually after i start the car. Everytime i turn off the car my eq settings and stuff go back to factory default, How can i make it come on with the car so it will save my eq and settings on the deck?

You need to hook up the power feeds correctly, one should always be hot, the other goes to the ignition. It's typically the yellow wire that needs constant power and the red that's switched on Pioneers. Did you use a harness or cut the end off the factory wiring?
