So is there anything i should keep an eye out for when doing the install... i know i will have to run a acc wire to my fuse box (to an 15 amp fuse? usually i put remote wires (for amps) on the sunroof fuses). but anything else or clarification on the acc wire would be great too.

Will update with pics on finished product.

 

just remember the swi needs an acc as well and it helps if the data wire is soldered

 

which wire data n i'll prolly solder all the wires except the ones in the car...

n the acc does go to a 15 amp fuse right? the sunroof should be 15 if i'm not mistakin

 

when u get the swi ps it will tell you to connect one wire from it to one in the harness thats the data wire. then connect a wire in the harness to ACC... that doesnt matter if its soldered or not (i used a t-tap)

lowest is 10a so wiper or sunroof fuse

 

so i need to hook the acc wire to a 10amp fuse

 

no you can hook it up to the sunroof 15a fuse if it works... the lowest amprage fuse you can use is 10a anything higher is fine

 

cool will keep that in mind...

got the dash kit in the mail today.

 

antenna adapter here
harness here

blue wire is for Antenna correct? so i don have to hook that up lol

 

pioneer system? hook it up....
basic system? cap it off

 

basic...

 

oka doing the install and ran into a problem tryin to program the steering whell controls...

says somethin about hooking wire (white/black) at A10 to remote 12+ is this correct? i don wanna **** it up by doin this if it not supposed to be

 

sounds about right... i remember having to hook up a wire to ACC. white/black sounds familiar

double check if its ACC or constant

 

it is ACC and it is the white/black at A10... the reason it wasn't working was i was programming it wrong... you push the button to program then start while the light still lit... i thought (directions said) to start after the light went out. but its all working properly... except the preset button... it labeled "1 - 6" i set it as preset + but its seek >> lol so i (well she) has two seek >> buttons... but it works great. she couldn't be happier with the radio she chose
