i installed my pioneer cd player in my new 91 camaro by just following how the old harness was hooked up, but there is a pink and brown wire not hooked up to anything at all sitting there. what are they for? and do i need them for anything? the deck is all hooked up and works fine. thanks.

 

pink -> power antenna
brown -> illumination (on with your headlight switch)

so i don't need them, do i?

 

Yeah, you don't need them... unless you have a power antenna. If you do, wire the blue "remote" wire from the new deck to the "pink" wire to put your power antenna up.

The brown illumination isn't used... tape it over and tuck it away. There's also a gray illumination wire, I think (it's variable with the dimmer on your car, whereas the brown will supply a +12 when lights on, 0volts when lights off), that you won't use. It's there on my '86, I'd imagine it's also there on your '91.
