I need help! I tried installing my Pioneer Deh-6500 headunit tonight in my 99 WS6 and I cut the wires loose of the connector on the stock monsoon system and I hooked up the power wire to the power on my new headunit and hooked up the ground. I can not get the head unit to turn on, but I put a meter to the power wire and it has power to it. If anyone can help me out, I would apreciate it. Thanks, Matt

Did you wire in the 3rd wire (yellow I believe) that turns on with the key? It should measure 12 volts when you turn the key to either ON or ACCY position.

Head unit I only used the yellow ignition power wire. Should I have put both the orange 12v constant power and the yellow 12v ignition power up to the power cable on my head unit? Thanks

No, you should have 3 different wires going to 3 different wires to your head unit. Orange, yellow and black.
One is constant 12v that never turns off, that is for your head unit memory (stations, clock and such).
One that goes to 12 when the key is turned on, that actuall tells your head unit to come alive.
And one for Ground.
You have to connect all 3 car wires to 3 different head unit wires for it to work properly.

Hmmm, well I can not speak for the Head unit. It should say which wire to use in the installation booklet. There has to be one more wire for it to turn on.

I looked up your head unit online, the cars orange wire should connect to the head units yellow wire.
The cars Yellow wire should hook up to the head units red wire.
And last black to black
