I put the positive cable ring on the nut on the battery terminal, and it works great. In regards to the length of the positive cable, I don't think it matters, only with the ground wire. Just make sure it isn't going to get caught on anything. You can use pliers to remove the nut, or borrow a small wrench from someone. As for the remote wire, someone else is going to have to chime in as I put my stereo in last year and have since forgotten. Hope that helps, and someone correct me if I'm wrong on this stuff.

Heh...this is the second time I'm writing this because I put an "invalid E-mail Address in" so heres the short and sweet version :).

Make sure you have an inline fuse around 18" from the battery.
Make sure you have wire-tied the cable securely under the hood.(preferably cover in wire loom for astetics)

As for the remote:
I'm making an educated guess here becuase I've never seen "P comp" before.

First make sure both wires are blue or blue with a white stripe.
Second: If one is not chances are it's not it.
Third: Use the P-comp wire.(if it's blue)
Forth: If you have to use the Att wire make sure it is fused. It is for a power antenna and has much more than the needed 300mA for amp turn-on.

To be positive of the wire...use a multi-meter to the output of the wires when the Head-unit is on.....The wire should show 12v @ 300mA. then use the power button on the radio and turn on the lights of the truck. The wire should show 0 Volts.

I hope this helps ya
