Do i need to wire up the power antenna wire for aftermarket HU?
I am wondering do i have to wire up the power antenna wire (blue wire) of the HU harness?
i am installing a alpine HU. after i plug the antenna wire into the HU, i seems to have no problem with FM reception. i don't know about AM yet though.

If there are any unused wires on your existing harness, you could pull the wire (and the pin) out of the harness, then move it to the pin location you need. I've done this a couple of times in the past. You just need to make sure you re-seat the pin properly so it won't push out when you connect the harness to the stock plug.
