Default no radio stations!

I just got done installing a new Kenwood DDX514 and now I dont have any radio reception at all! Is there something im missing? My wiring harness only replaced the 2 white connections, is there a need for the third brown connector?

crutchfield.com I remember Installing a radio I bought from them in my focus, the antenna plug in from my car fit in there but it needed an adapter to fit PROPERLY. Good thing crutchfield knew of that ahead of time and sent it to me in the kit. Give them a buzz.

Two things, the antenna wire itself or the power wire for the antenna amp.

It was the power wire for the antenna amp! Everything works perfect now.

Thanks for the help

I installed an aftermarket headunit in my car. I don't think I did it right because my GF tried to put on Kiss 108 and all she got was static. I tried every channel and got nothing but static. I haven't even bothered to fix it because I have an Ipod. Fck Clearchannel, I hate hearing the same 10 (terrible) songs on repeat all day.
