hey, ive been tryin to figure out how to install this sucker but i cant figure it out lol do i need anything else like a wiring harness? here is a link on ebay (i kno i kno lol) of the deck ( Xtrons TD714 2 DIN 7" HD Digital Car DVD Player iPod BT | eBay ) and if you scroll to the bottom it shows you what it comes with... it came with the iso wiring harness and rca cables... but the rca cables dont go anywhere and the iso wiring harness doesnt fit anywhere either -_- just want to get it installed already so any help it muchly appreciated! THANKS!

 

 

yes but what wiring harness do i need? im having troubles trying to find one.. my car is a 2009 pontiac G5 without onstar or pioneer system

 

Metra 70-2104 would this work? i think i read some where it was for pontiac G5 2007-2008 but is there any difference between the 08 and 09 ? lol i really dont want to spend more than i have to on a harness :/

 

yes that would work you will need to run the ACC from the radio to the fusebox as there is no ACC in the cobalt wiring harness

 

could i run it to the same spot as my subwoofer that is hooked up in my fusebox? or would it be smarter to put it in a different spot? thanks!

 

well since your adding the new radio i would use that spot for the radio then run the sub remote wire to the radio remote out vs the acc from the fusebox (thats assuming the radio has a remote out)

 

okay so.. one more question... the other end of the iso wiring harness that comes with the xtron, has clips to clip on to the stereo wiring harness in my car but it wont fit, does this mean when i get the metra wiring harness, i just remove the wires from the xtron wiring harness so i can solder then together with the metra harness? lol thanks alot im just tryin to get this right the first time so it isnt a pain in the ass fixin all kinds of mistakes lol

 

pic?

 

 

and thats the end? the other side plugs into the radio?

bc thats a kenwood plug

 

yeha the other end plugs into the xtron radio...

 

weird ya you can buy a kenwood adapter to plug into that but id just cut it off idk why they would have that on there, normally that would be what plugs into the radio

 

okay so... i hooked up all the wires to the metra harness except for a striped orange wire (it doesnt say what its supposed to go to) and a blue wire and the acc wire.. plugged it into my car and it wont turn on? any ideas? gettin pretty pissed with this ebay junk lol

 

you need to run the acc to the fuse box for it to turn on. the orange wire is a dimmer for it to dim at night. our cars dont have that because they run on data. blue is the remote for adding an amp

 

okay well i had a set of subs installed awhile ago and i was wondering if i could just splice the wire going to the amp for the acc wire? the wire goes to a 10 amp fuse in the fusebox

 

ya that should work just fine. if you are still running the subs you may want to change that to the blue remote wire from the HU for optimal results thou. not a huge deal if you dont

 

you are my hero lol it turned on and i am pumped, thought it was never gonna turn on! haha

 

its alive!!!

 

its actually not a bad stereo from the very few reviews ive seen from it... its way better than the stock radio only the subs are a little lacking, but thats more my fault for not going threw the headunit lol
