    Do I connect Pioneer blue/white stripe to Metra blue?

    Metra package lists blue as Power Antenna.

    Pioneer manual says blue/white is Connect to system control terminal of the power amp or auto-antenna relay control terminal, but there's a label on the wire that says System Remote Control.

    There's also a orange/black stripe wire but I've read elsewhere on the forum to leave it alone.

    H/U is a Pioneer DEH-80PRS. Thanks!

    Match the names, not the colors.
    I made the mistake of connecting the orange/black when i did the install of a HU on my cousins 04 pre runner, blew the dimmer switch/control in the panel.

    Well, blue and blue/white are the only ones that mention antenna so I guess they pair up. I'll double check the other connections.

    On the 80PRS the blue/white is the remote turn on lead for amps. You don't connect that to the Metra harness. You connect it to a lead that goes to your amps to turn them on when the deck turns on. The Blue wire is power antenna, and since we don't have one of those, just tape it off, and leave it disconnected.

    OK, so leave the blue, blue/white, and orange/black disconnected. Gotcha.
