If there is no "power antenna" then that wire will be missing from the 8-pin plug, right? If I take the "amp turn-on" wire from that plug and connect it to the '98 blue/white wire on the HU that may power the internal amp on the '98 HU?
Thanks for the speaker connect info but I still don't know which wire in the OEM harness goes to which speaker because the colours don't match any schematic I've seen...
You don't have to know the colors if you envision how the 2 plugs connect to the OEM harness you have. I told you all the wires corresponding to exactly how they look in that picture of the 97 harness, but it's still definitely tedious, I can imagine.
I just looked at the pics again of your OEM harness - and you have the amp turn-on wire, I can see it, it's the one all the way on the left. You're gonna wanna connect that to the power antenna wire on the 98 harness side - I would imagine that should be on there. And then the amp ground right into your stereo/chassis ground connection.
