ok, i had this headunit in my old Nissan Sentra Spec V and unfortunately, the car got totalled. I pulled it out (tested it first to make sure it still worked) and rewired it with i think a scosche harness(which might be my problem). When i plugged it in, it didnt work. No lights or anything. I did notice however that my gauges went screwy and they didnt work whenever i grounded everything. I am kindve a noob when it comes the these things, but is this normal. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

 

what year is your car? is it a 2005 or 2006 and ur using the gray plug instead of the blue one?

 

i am using the metra plug. i just got a chance today to start looking at it some more. its a 2006. i noticed that the switched ign wire isnt in the right place. so i jumped the switched to the sunroof fuse to make sure i had it and grounded everything right. still nothing. my gauges didnt go crazy this time though

 

right but what color is the plug?

 

gray

 

then theres a 99.9% chance its the wrong one. the gauges issue should be solved with the new acc because the "stock" one is data and hooking something up to it freaks out the bcm

the speaker wires should be on the top in a line (front front rear rear all by each other) not a square formation (front front on the top rear rear on the bottom)

also with the pioneer system you need to hook up the remote wire to the stock amp (blue/white on the metra plug)

 

OK so what plug do I need. LOL my harness Is going to look like ****. Hacked and chopped 3 times XD
