Jan,
The purple wire with the black spiral stripe (red arrow in pic) is the factory radio wire from fuse #8.
Check for power at the black terminal block that is just to the left of the red arrow in the pic.
Most radios have two power sources; one is switched with the key, and the other is unswitched for the keep-alive memory (the radio's memory, not yours!)
