    Hey guys quick question and I did try searching. Im installing a pioneer double din, I hooked it up to the truck before finishing the install to make sure everything works. When I go to fm stations its nothing but static and wont get any stations

    Now I did leave out a blue wire with white stripe (for amps if im correct)
    A solid blue wire
    and an orange wire

    I have a feeling the blue should be connected somewhere any suggestions??

    Orange wire is illumination. Sometimes it's not used at all. depends on the factory wiring.
    Blue/white is for amp. BUT! You should figure out if you had a Blue wire as well. And make sure it's hooked up to your factory power antenna. This might be the cause of the FM stations not coming in.
    So, it should go Blue (radio) ----> Blue (aftermarket harness)
    If there is no blue from the radio, hook up Blue/white (radio) -----> Blue (aftermarket harness)
    Also, on a side note... did you plug in the FM antenna to the back of the new radio before testing. I know it sounds stupid and you probably didn't forget, but I ask so that we don't leave anything out. ;)

    Thank you for the help, the only blue wire is coming out of the aftermarket harness. The harness from the pioneer has a blue with white. So I will hook up the blue/white to blue wire and see how that works.

    I did plug in the antenna haha thank you!

    hahahaha Im a huge dumbass!! I had the antenna plugged in the mic port by accident lol plugged the antenna in and walla.

    So in case someone else searches this thread in the future, the blue wire, blue/white wire, and orange wire can be left over. Thnks for the help yota007
