I removed the audio system from my 1993 Ford F-350, installed the connectors with your pioneer adapter kit; plugged both ends and have no power. Must I attach your ground wire ( with a "C" connector) to the body someway?

I hope you didn,t cut off your original factory radio harness, The easist way is to buy a wireing harness adapter kit.That hooks up to the wires on your new deck, End has plugs on it that plug into your factory radio harness. They can be braught at most places that sell end install car audio equipment for $15to $25 at the most.
Yes, it should slip right in, but I recommend you buy the adapter for the wiring harness. Look here for details and instructions are pasted below: http://www.crutchfield.com/p_130DEH1700/Pioneer-DEH-1700.html?tp=5684
1992-95 Models See Figure 4 Removing the radio will require removal of the front part of the center console. The
original equipment radio has a coded theft protection circuit. Before
beginning removal, be sure to know the code for re-installation. The
code is erased whenever the battery is disconnected or the No. 32 (7.5A)
fuse from the under hood fuse/relay box is removed. When power is
re-connected, the word "CODE" will be displayed and will require entry
of the 5-digit code for that particular unit.
WARNING
All SRS wire harnesses are covered with a yellow insulation. Read
the SRS precautions found in this section and install the short
connectors as described.
Disable the SRS system as described in this section.
Remove the center instrument panel by removing the four philips screws on the top and sides.
Disconnect the 4-pin connector from the cigarette lighter.
Remove the two screws, then disconnect the 16-pin connector and the antenna lead.
Carefully pull the radio/cassette player out.
To Install:
Plug in the 16 pin connector and install the two retaining screws.
Plug in the antenna lead, the cigarette lighter and carefully install the unit.
Install the center instrument panel. Re-connect power to the car,
and enter the 5-digit theft protection code for the radio/cassette
player.
wal-mart in the auto center they have sterio displays that have a few different multi adapters, wiring kits and cd manuals with step by step instructions on how to install
and a 70-1858 Wire Harness. This wire harness plugs into your factory harness and then you can use **** connectors to match up the other side to the radio. Red to Red, Yellow to Yellow...etc on down the line. Radio mounts into dash kit and screws into dash.
Large retailers that sell car audio systems (wally-world comes to mind) offer kits for this purpose. The kit contains plugs to connect to the factory harness, and you wire the Pioneer plugs to the adaptor plugs. There are many different kits, you must purchase the correct one for your application. The kit comes with instructions.
If you find my suggestions to be helpful, please share with us some details so that others may benefit from knowing the whole story. Thank you!
hi there..this will be like a walk in a park...first, in your home kit you should be having the ff: antenna, rca cable(audio cables), power adapter & docking station. We just have to 'placed the radio into the docking station' then we just have to plug in the ff cables into the xm receiver..we can start plugging in the rca cable(one ended connector) into the ' audio out ' of your xm radio...the other ends of the rca cables should be plug in into the 'audio in'(at the back/infront of your sound system)...plug in the antenna in the 'antenna out' of your xm( the antenna should be placed into a south facing window and not being block by tall trees and buildings outside)....plug in the power source and turn on the radio....if you got it right you should now be getting the prev.channels/emergency allerts...u can call xm to send a refresh for you to get the complete channels..or you can do it online by logging into www.refresh.xmradio.com(if the radio was already activated) if not, you have to call xm radio to activate it..enjoy listening to xm..Godbless..
get wire harness- get indash kit - get antenna adapter(if needed).
then do it yourself. note. that is why installers exist. so that you wont have to be asking all these stupid questions.

You need to identify the four wires that carry the DVD audio in the factory plug, and re-wire them to RCA plugs that can be used with the Auxiliary input RCA jacks on your Pioneer unit.
The four wires should be:
Left (+) light green
Left (-) white
Right (+) red
Right (-) black
The easiest way is to purchase some inexpensive RCA cables (or better yet, speaker wire with RCA ends). Cut the cables and wire the center pin conductor wires to the (+) audio wires in the stock plugs, and connect the outer shield conductors to the (-) wires. Then connect the RCA plugs to your head unit's auxiliary input jacks.
