    The thick black wire is your antenna lead. It should pull straight out of the deck. I take it that you've already removed the two screws at the back, bottom of the deck.

    Yep, that sounds like your antenna lead. If this is a stock head unit, and if yours is anything like mine was, then the antenna cable plugs in to a short little cable coming out of the back of the unit. It should have a little cylinder shaped plug connecting the two wires, and you just pull the two wires apart at that point. Mine were a little tough to get apart...

    True dat, except there is NO cable lead for the antenna; it plugs RIGHT into the back of the radio. Yup yup.

    Oops, yeah, I think he's right. As I said, there was a cable lead on mine, but I have an 89lxi, and it looks like the 86 factory radio is different.

    I would get a harness... it's easier to swap in other decks if you ever decide to, and you don’t have to cut your wires. Besides, they're pretty cheap.
