if you have an aftermarket stereo you have it connected on the all blue wire which is a remote but for the antenna, you need to connect it to the blue white unless you have an off brand stereo then the wire color vary

or you can wire it with a switch but you'll need a cable with 3 different wires in it. You just have to make sure you turn it off every time you stop for a while. I prefer doing it this way so when I dont want bass I just dont turn it on.
