Radio/Nav install questions

[rsm688]

Okay guys I am going to install my new Kenwood DVD/NAV system tonight and had a few questions before I get started.


Where did you guys tap in/attach these wires?

Remote blue wire
Red power wire
Green wire (I remember seeing somewhere to ground it somewhere, do you ground the green wire from the radio or the wire from the factory harness? or both together?)


Also, for anyone that has a microphone/USB cord/antenna, where did you mount them?


Thanks,
Spencer

Remote blue wire I assume this is from your new head unit, so is it a remote from the new head unit and what does it tell you to connect too? what source does it requie?
Red power wire for what B+ or Ignition +
Green wire (I remember seeing somewhere to ground it somewhere, do you ground the green wire from the radio or the wire from the factory harness? or both together?) ??????? Is this for bypassing the NAV system so you can do some functions while the vehicle is moving?


Also, for anyone that has a microphone/USB cord/antenna, where did you mount them? What antenna, the navigation? If so I mounted mine under the top of the dash, on top of one of the center HVAC ducts. Make sure to add the thin metal disc under the antenna. I glued my disc to the vent since the antenna had a magnet. (The factory NAV antenna is mounted in approximately the same location, on a bracket mounted to the steel dash panel.)

More info is needed. Are the wire colors noted from the new head unit?

Ground the parking break green wire for video on the go. I put my mic in the headliner in the onstar mic opening. Works great. I used the pac adapter from crutchfield on the wiring and it was very easy

Exactly what USMC_TOP said! lol

Hey, if you haven't gotten started yet, you're going to need a gmos unit if you want to retain onstar and your factory chimes and whatnot.
Here's the info for an 06 H3 - I have diagrams for every car ever made. If you need a different one, give me a shout.

The mic for Kenwood is ran up through the driver side pillar and sits pretty close to the rear view mirror.
