I bought a sony HD reciever for my Kenwood head unit that is HD ready. The reciever had 3 wires. A yellow 12 volt source, a black ground, and a blue wire, ANT REM. Max Supply current 0.1A. For some reason, I do not have that wire on my truck. Where can I hook that wire with a max current of 0.1A?
HD radio installation help

the blue wire is a "remote turn on" signal wire...when the radio turns on
the blue wire sends the signal to other devices, power antenna's, amps,
caps that they should turn on.
the blue wire is an OUTPUT signal wire...no voltage should be applied TO
that wire.

ok, well thats what i thought. I dont understand why it doesnt work. Everything is hooked up as should. I should be able to find HD RADIO when i push the source button, but it isnt there. Any ideas? I am sorry if i am vague.

Maybe the blue wire is an input that requires a signal from the deck to turn on??

And are you sure that the Sony unit is compatible with your Kenwood HU?

Here's what you need to do. Go on ebay and find the kenwood HD radio tuner it plugs in with a single din cable which provides power and the ability to directly control through your kenwood head unit. If you have any questions about this stuff give me a shout I was an installer for about six years and still do some side work.
