I'm not hating but since you have no clue what you are doing just go to some audio place and have them install it for you for under $50.

Been there before....ITS HELL!

Constant 12V+ - Red/Black
Switched 12V+ - Blue
Illumination - Red/Blue
Dimmer - Red/Yellow
Left Front (+) - Blue/White
Left Front (-) - Blue/Yellow
Right Front (+) - Brown
Right Front (-) - Brown/White
Left Rear (+) - Red
Left Rear (-) - Green
Right Rear (+) - Purple
Right Rear (-) - Pink

...maybe that will help, then you will have to find out which wires are which on the head unit.

..I have no idea how I'll find out which wire is what though from the headunit..thats where harness comes in play?..

you'll have to check with the manufacturer, if I remember correctly they are not the same colors as the 240 but should be relatively universal

epik1 · 05-11-2011, 11:45 AM

I'm good with which leads go to which speaker now! Thanks guys!

but the power I'm a bit confused cause this threw me off:

The .pdf install guide: http://www.docs.sony.com/release/CDX...stallation.pdf
States that the Red wire should be +12V Ignition and that Blue is "Antenna REM" (dunno)

But in the wiring coming from the car, Blue is connected to the Red and along the Red wire there's a 20A fuse..:S help?

Illumination and Dimmer aren't in the manufacturers deck install guide, and those wires aren't out like the rest of the speaker wires.

But thanks for your help!

Luckily the harness coming off the deck matches the wiring coming out from my car.

lol

epik1 · 05-11-2011, 12:03 PM

Also, anyone have ideas on where I can pick up screws for the deck?..didn't come with any..my local hardware store? Computer store? Fastenal? LOL

Clearalbino · 05-11-2011, 12:12 PM

Yes their M8 and very short! also the antenna wire is used for power antenna if you have one. The blue wire coming off the red wire was most likely a remote turn on for an aftermarket amplifier.

epik1 · 05-11-2011, 12:20 PM

Ok worst comes to worst I can cut M8 screws down to size lol.
So I can just unhook the red wire from the blue wire and use the red wire like its supposed to right?
What do I do about the 20A fuse thats spliced into the red wire?

Kouki_Mnster · 05-19-2011, 01:19 AM

Cut and splice using the red wire, keep the fuse. you dont need the fuse but it will protect your headunit so why not.

Just in case you need a diagram with conversion from old color to new,
