Nevermind about the stereo wiring, i checked my bookmarks for websites because i could have sworn i had seen a place with a lot of wiring diagrams..
i went to http://www.installdr.com has a nice section on 3g's stereo installation

What are the Radio wire color codes?

Here are the color codes to hook-up a radio to your 3rd gen. I strongly recomment you buy an adapter that will allow you to keep your original harness but if it's already missing, cou can use this code
________________________________________

function ............................color/stripe

12v constant .....................white/yellow
12v accesory .....................yellow/red
12v ground ........................black

that is similar to what i have but shouldnt there be a Power Antenna wire?
i noticed there isnt a wire coming out of the harness for it(from the diagram pictured on the stereo) but inorder for my amp to come on it needs to be hooked up to that wire.
