There's a wire right there...

I just did this on mine and it was fairly easy as all the wires were already there although unconnected to anything. Here's the rundown:

1. Blue wire with spade connection - goes to antenna (power)
2. Grey wire with male plug - goes to antenna
3. Socket that gives 12v keyed - Brown is [-], Black/yellow stripe is [+]
4. Black socket gives constant 12v - Grey/Purple strips is [-], Red is[+]

On your aftermarket radio, they will have many warnings about connecting the right wire to the right (switched or unswitched) sources. I would heed these warnings. I found everything worked exactly as expected with the above connections made. I believe the white, keyed socket is connected to the cigarette lighter (I wouldn't know as mine was disconnected) You don't need to make any kind of new wiring as its all inside. Wiring the speakers is another story...

Hope this helps!
