Bose system wiring
I need to tap the positive negative power antenna dimming and remote for my amplifier

Just quick question. I see an antenna line pg 76 but it doesn't tie to a pin number. What should be connected to trigger the antenna to go up?

dimmer- you get from instrument cluster
Try connecting the power antenna wire from the HU to the Dark Green wire on C1 pin 8. That circuit powers several items:
1. Bose signal processor
2. Relays for the Bose amplifiers
3a. Relay for power antenna (convertible only)
3b. Antenna module (coupe only)
Since you're putting in an entirely new system and won't use the Bose items, this will raise the power antenna only when the source is FM or AM (not CD, XM, etc.)
You've probably already figured out the other connections:
C1 pin 10 = Positive (battery 12V)
C1 pin 5 = Negative (ground)
Illumination from the HVAC connector
HU amplifier turn-on wire connects to your aftermarket amplifier
The main radio connector is actually 2 10-pin connectors (C1 & C2) combined. Here are the connector end views from the MY02 FSM. The wire colors and circuit numbers are identical in the MY99 FSM, so hopefully they also match your '98.
