    I have a 2008 DXZ585USB Head Unit. I installed it once in the Miata, and am now installing it again in my Colorado. I through away the installation manual that labels all the wires. I know most of them but there is a few I'm curious about

    There are 2 Yellow wires coming out. One is obviously for Constant 12V. There is one with a 3A inline fuse on it, and one with a 15A inline fuse on it. In the Miata I just twisted them together, but I want to do it corectly on the truck. Also, there is 2 Blue wires, one with a white stripe and one without. I know that one is a Amp turn on , and the other a Power antenna turn on, but which one is which?

    no race car? becuz homeowner...

            Figured out one is Power for the Deck/ CD drive other is for internal amp(Thanks Chuck). It ended up being the Blue/White for the Amp remote turn on.
            I'm Definitly glad I moved the stero into the truck. Shit bumps for 1 12"!
