Hi Anthony, I have question on head unit and my multi control steering wheel. I just change my steering wheel to a multi control steering wheel but it does not work.

hi quick question. I bought an aftermarket radio for my 2007 Toyota 4runner. the harness I got from metra only has orange/white cable for dimming. my radio wires has a orange/black (which most people say not to use) and a solid orange for illumination. should or could I connect the orange/white with the solid orange?

These kinda videos is what I need to see. Anybody can test voltage of a wire or check for continuity.... but It takes true skill to be able to know how to test the wire you're looking at. Great job. I'd like to see more videos like this diagnostic wise. and more in depth. Thx

[@rupertmoran1710]

Thanks for your videos Anthony. We appreciate them. Q: How on a german car without an 'acc' key position , can we manually turn on an aftermarket head unit when we're sitting with the car stationary...say in a carpark ? Can we for instance run a signal from a switched 12v source to the head unit, independent of the ign switch ? How do we do that & where do we input the signal to the head unit please ? With thanks from Australia. Rupert

[@AnthonyJ350]

Hey Rupert, there's no accessory position on your car? I thought a lot of German cars as soon as you put the key in the ignition it will allow you to turn on the radio. What if you turn ignition to the "on" position then turn it back to off but leave the key in the ignition tumbler? Does the head unit stay on?

[@carichofarca3]

@anthonyJ350 hi, I was hoping you could answer my question. Can I have a switch from the accessories at the back of the stereo switching between accessories of the vehicle red and the constant power yellow in order to be able to have the stereo on while the car is turned off???

[@AnthonyJ350]

You can do that. But most vehicles have an "accessory" position on the ignition so it turns on the stereo but the ignition and HVAC system remain off.

[@vultuer1]

Hi I want to connect rearview camera with head unit so can I connect with ACC cable?

[@AnthonyJ350]

You'll want to use a relay and power it from a power source that can supply enough amperage.

[@vaneater2734]

What did you do with the blue white antenna wire because there wasnt a blue white wire on the other harness

[@AnthonyJ350]

Just combine them

[@ryanrosser5660]

After installing my first aftermarket CD player/Indash along with car audio system when I was young (16 yrs old) & actually wired it all up right the first time & now 32 yrs old still going at it. It's all about knowing exactly how to wire the pos + neg (Positive wiring= one solid color) (Negative wiring= Exact same color as positive wiring only with a "black stripe" which means it's a negative wire) Making sure all pos + neg same color coded wiring is wired together from factory plug & play harness directly to CD or Indash harness is correct,. When wiring 12v red, accessory (ACC) yellow wiring, them wires are connected together to power head unit which includes the "Black" ground wiring that is also allowing power to head unit which the ground wiring is wired into harness from what I've dealt with personal, except when dealing with a handful of other person setups. If it has to be grounded inside dash to metal, an example is finding a factory bolt inside dash to attach & hold ground wiring under bolt tightened will work just fine. The remote wire (subwoofer amp wire) wires to blue neg wire then ran to amp. Illumination orange wiring dims brightness on head unit at dark & vice versa during the day. It's fairly easy to DIY with patience attention & silence lol. I've left things out like RCA's but when running a car audio system the subwoofer amp requires RCA wires to transfer a output & input line from head unit to amplifier.

[@AnthonyJ350]

I have a question about my new double din head unit wiring harness. I have four wires that I cannot figure out what to hook them to. They are the violet/white reverse(+), the white key- a, the brown key- b, and the black key- ground. I'm using a backup camera and steering wheel control. I just don't understand what to hook these wires to.

[@AnthonyJ350]

Violet and white is most likely reverse, the rest are for steering wheel controls. You'll have to consult your owner's manual.

[@RealDiGiPHiX]

Question: I have a Blue wire on my wiring harness that's labeled "Power Antenna" but my radio harness only has a Blue/White wire that's described in my owner's manual as "Connect to the system control terminal of the power amp or auto-antenna relay control terminal" should I connect these two wires or not?

[@stephenn6657]

if my truck had a after market cd player already in it and I replace it with a different brand can I use the plug that's there are do I need to use the wiring harness that came with the new stereo . I believe I need to replace it but just checking.

[@whitetrashandhellbound6905]

Yes you can, as long as the harness goes to your vehicle (ie: Chev 99-06 harness in a 99-06 vehicle) all you have to do is... remove harness from the Head Unit you don't want, wire it to the Head Unit you want... the just plug and play... pop the Unit in... pop the dash back on and your done. I recommend taking your Stereo Aux fuse out... to avoid shorts. Good luck! It's not hard or dangerous... these fear mongering people make it seem like it's impossible or dangerous lol "At your own risk!" Lol it's a car stereo people... not rocket science ;)

[@allaboutthatbassdrum750]

[@AnthonyJ350]

Chris Reinsmith If it was working before it's most likely a blown fuse. I would just bring it back to the shop and let them check it out

[@whocares.20]

Nice explanation of color codes, ugh, seen these for years , lol. The only caution I would give to people diving into the unknown, ditch the 9volt battery, and 12V test probe, or bad things may happen when probing the unknown for power or testing for speakers. Multi-meter, not so bad, but still can throw voltages on to sensitive wires "Crap, did the trunk just pop??". Lol. The old school cars, usually no problem, newer models may have digital, delicate signals sent to and from radio units on their harness. In some cases the unit in the dash is not the whole gizmo, may be a controller for a remote trunk/dash mounted amp/IF to complete the system. Definitely best to use a harness/adapter made for the after market application of that vehicle, and follow wire diagrams for tests and installs. Some one or corporation has already ciphered your vehicles wiring no doubt.

[@AnthonyJ350]

Great tips!

[@NLJ1953]

Very hard to find and the stupid manufacturers never show end view so you can compare with plugs or the otherside so you can see the wires go into same holes...why would they do that??

Helpful video. I have a problem. I have a 2004 Saturn Ion and the wires for the car is a completely different set of wires that my aftermarket stereo came with. There are some common colors, but there is colors that one set has that the other doesn't, and vice versa. Any suggestions on which goes where? Please and thank you.

[@AnthonyJ350]

+Axumful Are you using an after market harness?

[@Axumful]

+AnthonyJ350 Yes I am.

[@AnthonyJ350]

Axumful The colours should just match. Can you take a picture and post it on my facebook page?

Question: i have a head unit, steering wheel control adapter, and antenna amp that all need to be spliced to the red 12v. Can i connect all 3 to the 12v?

[@AnthonyJ350]

You can hook them up to 12+ red switched power as long as the wire can supply enough amperage. Are you using a standard wiring harness or a module?

[@tristanadamski8479]

AnthonyJ350 standard harness

Hi, I have a 2005 Nissan Altima and I have a whining noise. I have a BOSS 508UAB which does not have RCA connected. what can i do to get rid of the alternator whine? Please help, thanks

[@AnthonyJ350]

+sexxibwoy2 Did you make your own ground? Nissan's don't have a ground wire in the harness on the vehicle side. So it may be getting ground through the antenna instead.

[@tanyvega9618]

hey man, my cars wires seem to be all messed up and I wanna run new lines, any advice on how I should?

[@AnthonyJ350]

+tany vega Take it to a reputable shop that has reasonable rates. If you plan on running a lot of new wire I would not suggest it if you're a novice. Could be a fire hazard or you might get poor performance. Just being honest from what I've seen.

[@tanyvega9618]

Thank you man

[@AnthonyJ350]

Did you purchase a module for the vehicle?

[@Apolto6000]

so do the striped wires(negative) have to connect to the solid(positive)? or do they all go with there exact color

[@AnthonyJ350]

Watch this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2jQZp6ilLysjpI

[@Apolto6000]

Thanks, but it didn't explain or show if I need to connect the negatives to negatives and positive to positive or negative to positive

[@AnthonyJ350]

You just match the colours.
