The wires on the new unit were all labeled, but I had to download and print a chart of what all the wires in the car's harness were for. Just remember: there are two antenna cables on the SVX. One is for the power antenna, the other is for the window embedded antenna. Both of these cables can easily be disconnected by pulling down the carpet on the drivers side of the center console, near the ashtray area. Disconnect both of the black antenna wires under there. Other wise you won't be able to pull the old radio out.

It's also good to note that you will need an antenna extension cable
