by any chance is that a xtrons head unit?

You just need a wiring harness (adaptor) what head unit is it?

I'd imagine if you took it to halfords they'd sort you out

[corsaboi1992]

i wouldnt trust em

[dandan]

Yes it's Xtrons why?

My wires r cuted now so i want try to do it by myself

[dandan]

btw i can't see my BLACK wire comin from my car

[matty101]

if ur luckey it will justbe a case of conecting up the same coloured wires, if not i think you've got ur work cut out, and u will regret cuttin the wires.

thats what im runnin the black is jus an erth m8 so and i belive on the corsa blok from the sterio its the brow cable (bottom right)

[dandan]

guys can u tell me where the Blue(power antenna) wire from my stereo need to be connected ?

[corsaboi1992]

it dosent unless your running an amp

[dandan]

so if i connect:

red+yellow (stereo) ----> red (car)
black (stereo) ----> some metal, bolt, etc.
white (stereo) ----> blue/brown
white/black (stereo) ----> blue
grey (stereo) ---->yellow/brown
grey/black (stereo) ---->yellow

is that all i have to do? is it right? if im doing it wrong somewhere can u tell me where? cheers

Yh id say dont get Halfords to do it, because I went there the other day and asked them for the right type of pins to take out my alpine head unit, told them what car I had etc and they gave me pins. Couldn't get it out and neither could the dewd that sold me them in halfords, i took it to a mechanic and he told me they had given me pins to take out a ford headunit. WHAT THE F...?

Id say just go to an electrical store that fits headunits and ask them which wires go to which but then fit it yourself.

=/ im having difficulty with fitting my new head unit because the guy that I got to fit my back speakers SOLDERED the wires to the old headunit wires so now i have to cut them and try and solder them to my new head unit. And im hoping that will work.

[helghast]

how do you make the headunits live then? ( on/off when i want it to be) as i just fitted my new unit and the ignition is broke. still starts car but not the unit. on old cd player mechanic made it live so out it on/off when wanted to and i thought e simpe as add new unit and be same but wasnt. want try myself before i go see him. cheer's

[dandan]

that's it im soooo sooo happy i did it

Check the adaptor of the old head unit, see if hes done anything to any of the wires. Do the exact same to your new wires and hope for the best =]. Unless your old headunit was broken then don't copy just incase =)
