I have a Sony CDX-5700 I think. The first blue wire was the power antenna. I don't know what we have it connected to now tho. I think we just have it connected to the wrong wire. I'll have to look for another.

Haha I don't have the tools with me at school. It's possible that one of the previous car owners (been a while ago- the previous owner was an older guy who never took the car over 70 and didn't try to do any kind of modifications whatsoever) had a stereo or a different aftermarket alarm that it was for and took it out when they sold it.

I just know that light is on whenever the amplifier is turned on, like when the blue remote wire is connected.

I'll try to pop the headunit out and look around for another wire when I get a chance, or I may just wait for a friend with a test light.

if neither of the blue wires work you can hook it up to the red one too

What's is this red wire for? And I really don't remember what other wires were though, I'd have to look
