New radio.
Okay, well I'm completely lost on how to install my new double din head unit. I bought the wiring harness from metra and the dash kit from scosche and I got everything wired up and set in place. And the radio turned on and everything but I was receiving no sound at all. I've read and seen that I need to tap into the factory amp but I don't know what wire that is or anything. What do I need to do?

Come on guys, I know at least someone knows what to do. I've searched for a diy but I can only find the ones that have the expensive wiring harness, I need to know which wire to splice into!

One of your wires isn't connected right then. Do you have the blue wire with a white strip connected to anything? That's normally the amp on wire.
But, the amp is connected into the factory harness so it should turn on when the radio does. So then again, it goes back to you don't have a wire hooked up right. Any pics of the harnesses? |

In the how to section see if the one about the pioneer avic will work. I got a system in mine but nothing is factory. I think the amp turn on for the factory amp is pink but not positive. EmperorJJ is usually go for this kind of info.

Yeah everyone is saying pink. But if you can see my picture there is a pink and a pink with black strip. I don't want to take the chances of cutting a wire and it being the wrong one and then I'd have to go to the stealership to fix it.

You need to put power to the PINK wire coming from the harness.
|
I tried to put the other one on from the radio but it said I was doing a double post.
|
Thanks everyone for the help! I got it in and it sounds great!
