You skipped very fast about illumination wires. My case is : on the car side ill+ and ill- and aftermarket harness ill.backlight (orange) and ill.backlight(green) so what should I do? Also, it’s nice to see the person who responds to everyone and kindly helps to solve their problems. Very appreciate that. Subscribed.

What does the manual say? Sounds like it could be positive or negative activation but you need to verify in the manual.

[@jv226808]

@@AnthonyJ350 No manual,just wiring diagram as explained. Anyhow, I connected ill+ with green illumination backlight wire and left open (insulated) ill- and orange ill. Backlight, and it works with dimming the backlight when the lights are on. Thank you for respond, subscribed.

Hello, I'm stalling a Dual (it's the brand) double din for my 07 Mitsubishi eclipse spyder gs. The kit that I bought came only with the adapter for the speaker. So I either need to figure out where to buy the other adapter, or figure out the wiring? Can you help me with either? The wires not plugged into anything are the 1:Battery +(yellow wire), 2: Brake ( pink wire), 3: Ground (black wire), Reverse + (orange, or deep yellow?), Remote Turn on + (blue wire), Swc Inpute (some kinda aux plug). I don't see anything for my subwoofer. Will I have to get a new one and rewire? And I'm going to be attempting a license plate back up camera. Where would i plug in the wires for that?

Hey, im still a bit lost on the blue wires. I get what each does, but my car harness has 2 blue wires, 1 solid and 1 blue/white and my new head unit only has solid blue. Do i put the 3 together? When i took out the other after Market deck i didn't see how they did it, im guessing they spliced the 3 together bc all wires were used etc

[@AnthonyJ350]

Yes if it's from the "car side" you can combine the blue and blue/white as they're receiving a 12 volt signal.

[@justinbigtex98]

So on the car wiring side I have a orange (dimmer) wire but on my harness for the radio it is also orange but is (illumination input) do I just not connect them? Or what do I do? Also I have a pink data wire on my car harnesses but not on my radio harness where would I connect the pink wire?

[@AnthonyJ350]

Don't work about the pink wire, that's typically for vehicle speed sense. You can hook up the dimmer wire to illumination, as long as it's just one wire. Do no twist orange and orange/ white together on the "car side" of the harness.

[@firecop7912]

Hi, Great video but I have some questions about the parking brake brown wire & the factory install subwoofer amp. We have a 04 Town Car that came with the factory installed Alpine system. The brown brake wire, how does that wire hook up to the Parking brake?? What is that wire calling for is my question with that wire?? The next question I have is the Alpine factory installed subwoofer amplifier, This double DIN system does not have a wire for the amp? I don't have a power antenna on the car, so can I use the power antenna wire that came with the radio for this factory Alpine amp? This car is much older than the features this double DIN offers. List double din does have a backup camera and I like your idea much better putting the camera on a switch.. Thank you in advance. Wes

[@AnthonyJ350]

Do the speakers play at all. The parking brake wire goes to the wire on the parking brake.

Got on a SCOSCHE FD23B one is orange/black and orange/white. Not sure what they do, but my illumination on the car stereo is just orange.

You have to test the wires then. Illumination from the vehicle should go 12+ when the lights are turned on.

Hi, I know this is an old video but I was referencing this because I am installing a pioneer 1500nex into my truck. Made understanding what the wires were super easy now. Just wanted to ask, my unit has built in dimmer functions than I can control, manual or based on time of day. I don’t want the radio dimming based off my headlights (the orange and white wire). I am just going to take the orange and white wire out of the stereo harness since it won’t be used. Will I be fine if I do that? Thanks!

[@AnthonyJ350]

I would just terminate the wire with shrink tube that has glue inside.

[@GarrettHMTB]

@@AnthonyJ350 I was able to get the wire free from the connector it was super easy just used a micro size flat head screw driver and pushed the little tab in and the wire w/ the terminal came out. Saves on the extra clutter haha

i have a 2007 civic lx that had a separate car harness that has a illumination wire and dimmer wire. The new radio harness only has the orange wire for dimmer. The display is hard to read like it isnt get illumination power. Will hooking the orange the the red dimmer on the unused car harness give me a display?

[@AnthonyJ350]

Illumination dims the head unit display. It doesn't provide power for the display.

[@vicn4059]

Hi, where do the continuity wire line connect to the car?

[@AnthonyJ350]

Depends on the car. Should be a wire at the radio harness. You should use an aftermarket plug that plugs in.

So I want my reverse camera to come on when I go into reverse and also I wanted to be able to see behind me when I’m driving. What I am guessing is I can still hook my camera power up to my reverse lights, but run my reverse power wire off radio to a 12 V source with a switch..I have a Boss BV765BLC

[@AnthonyJ350]

If the camera is always powered on, some head units let you view the camera by selecting it.

[@junjunlecaroz5393]

So are you saying that i will hoop up the orange wire from the marstro harness to the orange/white wire which is the dimmer coming from the kenwood radio?

[@AnthonyJ350]

Yes, just make sure the colours match. Do not hook up 2 dimmer wires if they're wired to the same plug.

[@VictoryH]

I got a unit where subs are playing on radio but not with Bluetooth, do you know what would cause this

You have "ant" hooked up and not "remote turn on". Might be a setting in the head unit.

Glad to see another BC'er helping the community out. Very informative video and thank you for taking time to make this video. May I ask you, I have a 2006 Honda Odyssey and am installing a Nakamichi Android Audio Unit. I've worked 90% of the wires together mostly matching colours except for the last 4 wires. This Head unit does offer steering wheel controls options. Now the Car Harness side has a solid Orange illumination wire but the only orange-like wire remaining on the Nakamichi Harness is Orange w/black stripe (Nakamichi is horrible at labelling their wires rather they indicate position on the harness connector). I believe the Headunit reads this as the Car Light Control. Then there are 3 additional wires with sticker tags on the Nakamichi Harness side. 1 = solid Brown (labelled "Back CTL"), 2= solid Blue (labelled "SWC 2"), & 3 = Solid Orange Wire ( labelled " Key"). Should I connect the Car Harness Solid Orange (Illum.) Wire to the Nakamichi Orange /Black Stripe? What do I do with the remaining 3 labelled wires? Thank you

[@AnthonyJ350]

I would confirm the orange/ black wire is actual illumination. As for the steering wheel controls you'll have to go on the Nakamichi online manual to look up what wires are the controls for your car. I prefer to use universal steering wheel control interfaces to achieve control.

I have an extra orange (illumination) wire on the car side but the stereo's harness has no orange wire. So what should I solder it to? I'm seeing some people saying to connect the orange to red additionally

[@AnthonyJ350]

No do not hook up orange to red. That will make the head unit always on dim or night mode. If the harness does not have the wire, just terminate the end and do not hook it up.

Hello I have installed an android head unit on my 2012 Ford Fiesta but the lights on the central panel do not work. The seller told me after the purchase that those types of units are not fully compatible with models of 2012 and earlier (red panel lighting) but they work perfect on models of 2013 and after (blue panel lighting). In my car this is the only problem that I can't solve and it's very annoying. The steering wheel and panel controls work perfect with the new head unit the only problem is the lighting. So do I have to connect the ACC (red wire) to the orange (Illumination wire) and panel lights should stay always on or I missed something? Your help would be very useful Thanks in advance

[@AnthonyJ350]

Red should only be hooked up to ACC and orange needs an illumination source. I use major brands with modules like Idatalink Maestro to make everything work properly. Cost a little more, but for good reason.

Advice... When making a video explaining wiring, have the camera in front of the wires instead of focusing on the back of your left thumb. Also holding the wires inside your hands but the camera place above from behind where you can't see what you holding... then the shot way down showing mostly your wrist... Didn't plan this very well 😂😅
