Hey dude thanx for this. coulda helped me heapz if i knew bout it earlier. im just in the process of puttin in a new system and need to know a bit of info on the wirin. iv found on my new system that i put original orange to yellow in new; original yellow to red in new; and pink in original (that i used to think was illumination) into orange with white stripe (illumination wire) in new. and it all works, lights up etc. it all works but with no power antena. cause the power antena on the new tuner states 'ANT REM MAX 0.1A i dont wannablow it or nething by trying nething to risky. ops: newayz my question is: 1) what original wire does the power antena on the new tuner go to? 2) what original wire does the illumination on the new tuner go to? 3) WTF is the point of the grey one to a new tuner??! thanks for ne info by neone with this Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

In this case you will have to rewire the dash speakers so they have their own ground otherwise if you arent using those just leave it out and rewire new speakers from doors or wherever all the way.....

old school thread that's come in handy a million times, cheers stoney Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

wow.. cant remember writing this..

stoners memory LOL

thanx, came in real handy Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

my earth wire wasnt connected to an earth, if ya know wot i mean, did anyone else have this problem? easily solved for me, i earthed to the bracket for the old casette player, the annoying pos came in handy

This info just saved the life of a brand new alpine unit. I swear i was about to smash it cause i couldn't find the power wire. Thanx mate! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

bloody helpful cheers mate

oh man i just joind calaisturbo and i find this when i paid 60 bucks for some guy to fit my h/u and about that grey wire wots the go with that cuz im not sure what happend but im not sure if the cigaretter lighter used to work i dunno never use it but i know that it doesnt now and myabe the guy didnt hook it up to the headunit?? anyone know what the go is???? and great write up man cheers

if your going to run 4 decent speakers off a deck your best off running brand new wires for all 4 speakers, running a dedicated (fused) power wire to the batery and running a new earth from the deck to the stearing column. the only wires off the factory loom you should use is the ilumination wire, the accesories wire, the power antena wire. this might seam overkill but its not hard to do and if you do it you will never have problems with it.

would this be simliar wireing to a 95 vs commodore? if not would somebody be able to post up a wireing diagram for the vs? would be heaps of help as i dont want to pay the guy at autobarn $80 to install lol thanks

just by one of those adaptor, you connected to the original plugs, and them all you have to do is match up the colours,

were else can u earth it other then cig lighter?
