Default Power antenna with after market HU

So I'm installing my my new HU and i need to know what wire i have to connect to the blue PA wire out of the deck. I read somewhere the the PA wire is the Pink one the car harness. So if thats true then do I just cut that off and splice it to the blue one?

Thanks

Didn't your head unit come with instructions?
On my '01 T/A, I connected an adapter to my stock wiring harness. Blue with a white stripe from the stock harness and blue from the adapter were the power antenna wires on mine.

You shouldn't cut and splice any of the factory wires. Go to an auto parts store (or WalMart) and get a stereo harness adapter for less than $20. Then you just connect the aftermarket HU wires color for color to the adapter harness and the whole thing plugs into the factory connector.
