Yes, red is constant power, yellow is antenna/ignition and black or sometimes green is ground. Wouldnt you be better off just buying a home stereo? lol

If you want it to work all the time, you need to connect + to both wires, the ignition one will make it work, the batt wire will enable it to keep it's memory.
