there should be two power wires for your HU. one that supplies power to store the pre-sets and one to power the unit when the ignition is on. make sure you have both wired up.

as for your power antenna, you have to purchase a switching relay that will convert the current. the power antenna works off a negative current. most aftermarket HU's supply a positive current.

i believe the ignition wire (the one that turns the HU on when you turn the ignition on) is green, and the other one is red. if you want check it w/ the DVM. bnd is right on the relay.
