Fixed the picture for you. What model radio did you buy?

[jabata]

Seicane s6902

[jabata]

In the connection of the previous photo, is where should I connect the antenna cable of the Seicane?

[Crowz]

That picture you posted isn't a seicane. What is that a the picture of?

[jabata]

the photo is from the x5 antenna amplifier on the back

Really need to know what color wire goes in which number slot for the blue plug that goes in the back of the original radio. Anyone know?

[Crowz]

Ok that isn't the amp that's the old radio.

The long cord that came with the radio plugs into the antenna. Nothing plugs into the factory box in the back in that spot. The antenna that used to go into that plugs into the harness cable that is run from the front during the install.

The antenna wire goes from the (radio in the dash) > (the cable seicane provided) > (the other end of the cable seicane provided) > (the factory antenna wire in the hatch area)

I posted the picture twice already above. I can try to go thru them manually for you and label them if you want me to.
