ok, SO I BOUGHT A NEW dd and i need help.

1st, the factory Sat tuner plug is a round antenna plug... i need it to fit into the back of the kenwood unit which is a squarish pin style plug... suggestions?

2nd, i got the pac harness for the truck... its the right one, just have some wiring questions. the wiring coming from my truck has the big plug and then a square 4 wire plug that connects right next to it? question is WTF does that plug do?

3rd, do i need to run a acc ire down to fuse box on this install or is everyting right in the dash, just need to hook a test light up and see what wires do what.

I know for sure you'll have to buy an adapter for your sat radio, pretty pricey too if I remember correct, don't know on the plug and all my aftermarkets have always had power directly from the wiring harness?

No some harnesses don't give a power wire. Just tap into your 12v plug for switched power. As for the plugs, the regular radio plug should need an adapter to work with the new head unit, turning the euro-style plug into one that will fit the radio. On the satellite wire, I just took the plastic off the end and plugged it directly into the sirius tuner. Hope this helps...

The antenna adapter will look something like this:

The wires coming out of the dash should look like this:

I believe white is AM/FM and yellow is Sirius. Take the plastic off of the sirius and plug it directly into the sirius tuner...
