Something was really wrong with my car. The battery was dying because I connected it to a wire that was draing out the battery. I connected it to the right one(atleast I think it is) and my radio started to flash. When I putted it on a station, it would different music with alot of static. But when I had my car on accesory, it played fine. Now only the clock and the eject button work on it. What happened? Could it be that it needs a code for it to work again(kinda like an anti-theft thing?)?

That's what I thought but we fixed everything and then we tried to connect the radio and it didn't work. I'll try to get a picture of it soon.

I was trying to connect my sub so that when I turn the radio on, it will play(before, I had it that I would have to plug it in the cigarette lighter for it to work.)

These are the only wires that I messed with in the radio. The one of the left was the first one that I did. The one on the right was the second one. Anyone have any ideas?

Yes, I did. The purple one was on all the time and it was draining the battery. Now the one on the right was the only one to have any power (other than the purple one). Yes, I did run the main power to the battery.
