Default Anti-theft doesn't like me

I'm having a problem with my 2006 Mustang Convertable. Today I installed a Sirius radio. It uses FM transmiter for the input to the radio and I conected power behind the radioto the grey with yellow stipe for hot and black with orange for ground. I disconnceted the battery during installation. Now my car will not start and the anti-theft light flashes very quickly. Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks

where did you get your wire colors from? Did you test them before hooking them up? Does the sirius work? Check your manual on what to do if the battery is disconnected?

The radio and sirius work fine. I got the wire color codes from Auto Zone. I checked the mannual and even called Ford Roadside Assistance. I guess it's just tow to dealer for a reset.

you got your wire colors from autozone and ford roadside assistance? Even if I have a wire color from a source that I know to be good(neither of these are and even some manuals are questionable) you MUST always test a wire before cutting or tapping into it. This is always a tought lesson to learn but I am willing to bet it will not happen again[:-]
