Thank you so much for this detailed video that included troubleshooting! Especially since I faced the same issue with the quick splice connector | used on my truck's reverse light. After the 16-14 gauge quick splice connector I originally used failed to make a proper connection, I switched to a 22-18 gauge quick splice connector and it worked just as designed. I wish more installation videos included troubleshooting. For other people attempting to install their own stereos and back up camera: your vehicle's wiring diagram colors may be totally different than the aftermarket connector(s). Google your wiring diagram/connector to cross-reference. My truck's OEM connector had less wires than the aftermarket connector, so I capped the unused wires.

You should never under any circumstances wire nut in a car. Wire nuts are designed for line voltage solid core wires in buildings. With stranded wires, you cut strands when you tighten them which is just asking for electrical gremlins down the road. Eventually they vibrate themselves free due to the cut strands or just get a bad connection. Tap splices are also asking for problems. Vibration can cause the strands to get cut and over time fail/work intermittently. Butt splice if you want it done quick, just make sure you fold those wires back on each other. The best way is to lineman splice the wires, solder, then heat shrink. That connection will last forever. Also, spend 15 bucks and a little bit of time to put those leads in wire loom to prevent shorting.
@TheOriginalMechanic5 жыл бұрын
Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge of professional car audio wiring. In my last career as an industrial electrician, it was standard practice to wire nut 480V stranded wire motors to into stranded 480V factory wiring. We always finished by taping the connection with Scotch 33 electrical tape. The conditions were wet, hot (or cold) and often with vibration. A french fry factory. They held up well. Note in the video that I taped the connections with Scotch 33. No worries.

Great video. Thanks. I would just add that many of these have different names, but same exact set up. So some of the wires are colored differently. I would suggest to anyone following this video to install theirs to only pay attention to the terminal designation numbers A1, A2, A3 etc. Which brings me to my biggest question on this unit. The A1 terminal, in my case a pink wire, is labeled "Parking Sensor Control Wires +12v". Which really throws you off considering it's labeled +12v and everywhere you read up on it people say it's a ground from parking brake. So it's a bit disappointing that this video has everything I needed except for that one detail because he never uses the A1 wire. I'll be hooking this up today, and get back with the results. I'll try grounding the pink first before I go and throw any volts at it.my objective is.to ground it constantly so the kids can watch it. Kinda the only reason I got a radio with video player in the first place.
@TheOriginalMechanic5 жыл бұрын
Thanks for clarifying the purpose of this wire. The explanations on the wiring diagrams on these units are disappointing. But I agree with the intent of that parking sensor wire: To prevent the driver from viewing a video while driving. Maybe a portable DVD player for the kids in the backseat would be a better idea.

No, no! Wire nuts are for dry, stationary appIcations such as house wiring inside junction boxes, light fixtures, etc. In automotive applications, the vibration and humidity will cause wire nut and crimp - on connections to corrode and fail over time. The wiring harness connections should ALL be soldered and sealed in heat shrink tubing, if reliability matters at all to you.

@@TheOriginalMechanic oh thanks for the reply. I ended up trying every possible combination I could think off. And I gave up. Best I could do was leave the acc and b+ 12v together to the car harness and manually turning off and on the radio. Which was fine with me. But then I ran into problems with the speakers. Seems the harness I got did not have enough connections even tho it seems like it does. ,🤷 For some reason only my rear speakers worked (4 speakers. 2 front and 2 rear.) With this again I tried all kinds of combinations and no luck. Overall I spent a solid 6hrs working on it. Only to just put back My oem unit. Then to make myself feel even more incompetent. I realized the unit itself would not fit properly without me making it work somehow. (Would have to make my own brackets.) . After reading on the Impala forums it seems that particular car has lots of issues with aftermarket 2din units. (09impala). But I appreciate the response and video. I will see if hopefully I can get a refund. Doubt it tho. There is a list of 2din units that fit properly but those are all like $200+. And all I wanted was to stream music by Bluetooth. So not worth it.

@@dnegel9546 I have heard of many issues with these units that result in returning them for refund. Sounds like you gave it a real good effort though it ended with frustration.

@@TheOriginalMechanic yeah man I even had a multimeter testing out each connector on the car harness to try and manually match the cables with the new harness to the radio. But no luck. I will attempt to get a refund. Tho I doubt I will get one.

On one end the small red wire that runs along with video cable connects to the back-up light wiring. On the other the small red wire goes here: 3:12
