QuestionQUESTION: I have a 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup with 4 door extended cab. I just purchased a pioneer cd deck and I was wondering if I needed any special adapters or anything to install it. I looked for wire harnesses and i bought one but is there anything else i need?

QUESTION: So i got all of that stuff and i wired it together followed all instructions and i get power but no sound now what?
ANSWER: You didn't hook up the blue power antenna wire. that turns on the factory amp. All dodge trucks with infinity systems need this wire hooked up. The old ones had the amps right on the back of the speakers. If you ever buy new speakers, you will need to do more rewiring...

QUESTION: what does the blue wire get hooked up to? i see the wire on the wire harness. but on the adapter for the cd deck i don't see anything to hook it up to.
AnswerAll CD decks should have a blue power antenna (or amp turn-on) wire coming out. The harness should have a power antenna wire in blue also. Just hook these together. If you cannot find a power antenna wire output on the deck, just jump the adapter power antenna wire to a switched lead,like the red wire. The only disadvantage is that the amps won't turn off if you turn the deck off while the vehicle is still on.
