question about wiring...

[NickNat]

i brought my head unit from crutchfield and they provided me a master sheet and harness. i have connected everything, except the following:

From Crutchfield Harness:
1. Factory Amp Turn-on (Blue/White)
2. Power Antenna (Blue)

From Head Unit:
1. P. Cont - Power Control/Motor antenna Control wire (Blue/White)
2. Ant. Cont - Not Used (Blue)

How do I connect them? Or should I just leave them alone?

I think I should connect Crutchfield harness no. 2 with Head Unit Harness no. 1, but the color doesn't match...

Please kindly let me know asap.

Head Unit: Kenwood KDC-MP 2035
Car: Mazda protege 1999

sorry this is my first time installing car unit... gonna give my husband a surprize...

Since your car doesn't have an external power amplifier or powered antenna you don't have to connect any of those. If you get an amplifier in the future you will want to use one as the remote turn-on lead so the amp is only on when the head unit is on...but for now just mask them off with some electrical tape so they don't short out.
