The yellow wire and red wire are power wires. Yellow= Constant 12v, Red= Switched. When I put in stereo we would run the wires up to the front of the car. When forced, you can wire them into the fusebox. Using a test light you can figure out which fuses are constantly hot and which ones are only hot when the key is turned over. I would suggesting grounding the changer as close to the changer as possible.

Make sure your fm mod has a filter because most of the universal fm mods don't and they make alot of static. I used accel for my fm mod and it works great.

Decent FM modulators are pretty good about noise. Watch out for other causes too though.
