The wire(black) that came with the kit needs to be attached to one of the screws going into your radio.
Install the assembly into your car, making sure everything is plugged in. Re assemble and your done

Special Note, This is the "simple" version, if you have steering wheel controls, nav, etc. you may or will need to do more things to keep functionality. You may also paint the shifter bezel to match the black HVAC, like the photo above. Please refer to the link above for more information.
