Default new radio/cd player

Im trying to install a new radio/cd player. I know which are the speaker wires that is not the problem, the problem is the new unit has red(power switched), yellow(power constant) black (ground) wiring. How do I wire it up to the ED Falcon wiring which (has me somewhat confused) is black(ground), blue/white(power I think) yellow/black(????), and brown(????). I know there could be a problem with the smart lock(from what I have read in here).
Any ideas.

Hmm.

Black is ground
Yellow/Black should be power. Test it with a lightbulb (just a small one)
Blue/White should be power antenna
Brown is a mystical gateway to solving all automotive problems... somehow : I don't know what brown is, could be the power switch.

There may be wiring diagrams for it at the top of the page. I don't know if you need to worry about the power switched. I wired a kenwood headunit into an EB and worked like a charm with the speaker wires, power, ground and power antenna.

I would be carefully with the Black. On most cars this is not the ground but the dimming function from the headlights. The best thing to do for the ground is to just earth it to the chassis.

Well I got it all worked out(sort of), I brought a wiring harness, cost me about $14.
Now if I hook up the all speakers it works fine untill I turn it off, when turned back on there is no sound at all, untill I disconnect the left front speaker, then the sound returns to the remaining three speakers. Dose the left front have anything to do with the smart lock and/or the code for the factroy radio?

Hmm, as far as I know smartlock shouldn't be a big problem like that. If possible try and test the headunit in another car as it may be the problem.
