I feel like an idiot for asking help on this but I am really at the end of my rope on this. I bought the Pioneer x940bt and since I bypassed it even more. I bought the Pioneer GEX-P20HD HD radio to spice it up a bit and I have no clue on how to install this. I have installed radios before but this was my 1st attempt at a radio like this. The instruction manual for the HD radio did not really help me much and I stopped at this. It says to ground the black wire that comes the hd radio? OK so I take a terminal wire connector and I figured that was done? Why do they even send it with that wire I have to ask, why dont they just remove it or have it come grounded? Then I have the yellow wire which has the fuse in it and then I get stuck. I tried connecting it to the yellow wire on my harness with the wire on the power harness so 3 wires and then grounded all 3. Plugged the Antenna in to the antenna adapter for the radio. The the IP Bus out into the back of my radio. I turn on my car and I get nothing, radio does not even turn on.
What am I doing wrong?!? Can someone please help!
Am I not supposed to the yellow wire to the other 2? Am I only supposed to connect it to the car harness and forget about the power one?
I feel stupid but I really don't want to return it, I feel defeated.
