Installing aftermarket HU HELP!

I knw you guys are going to hate me, and probably think im an idiot! or tell me to use the search bar haha... but trust me ive looked at every possible tutorial.. but need some clarification with somethings!!!




See there is 2 plugs coming out of the stock headunit, and i understand i need a wiring harness for the big plus, but what do i do witht he other one?

Also i cant even get the headunit out, because of the black plus on the right hand side!? i didnt know weather i should pull harder or if there was a way to release it?..

hmm anyone want to help?

also from what i understand for wiring up the headunit is... far side yellow is 12v and black is ground, purple's greens and whites are speakers? blue is sub, and then the red/white should be wired up to 12v from cabin fuse box? correct?

any help would be great thanks!

sorry for the dumb q's!

just pull hard on the black wore its just the antenna its a bitch

and yeah you will use the big plug and the little one just leave it unplugged

yeah you will have to run a wire to the fuse box and tape into the wiper blade fuse for power
