O.K. i just bought the alpine cda7894 head unit and i have a question on the install.
1. The alpine harness has a fuse on the yellow wire and and coil something on it, and the black wire has to be grounded to the car. circuit city gave me a whole different harness that totally eliminates the fuse and grounding the the black wire. question is, is it that imortant to have the fuse and grounding the black wire? should i use the hrness that they gave me (which makes install easy because i dont have to solder any wires together) and just use the black and yellow wire with the fuse from the stock harness and solder to the new harness?
2. the guy told me that i should get rid of the orange wire (the wire that adjust with the dimmer) because it could ruin the radio. is that true? thanks
