C5 Stock Radio Help Needed!
I am re-installing a stock radio in my 97 Vette. The previous owner butchered the whole system. I believe I have it spliced back ok but still need to find a cable that goes from the radio to the power antenna module. My question is, do I need this cable before the head unit will power up? I am getting nothing when the radio is turned on. I am begining to see this being a long proccess to getting to where I want to be!!!
Thanks
Mark

Antenna module being there or not wouldn't affect HU powering up.
Schematics and plug pinouts are available HERE if you don't already have them.
To get radio to power up all you need is 3 wires: +12v at C1 pin 10, ground at C1 pin 5, and signal from car serial data line at C2 pin 16
Good luck!
