1970 mustang instaled steteo now no dashlights

This is the NEW connector with my new Sony head unit: I have however, heard of people simply connecting the parking brake wire to the black ground on the main harness.allowing the screen to be on whenever (as this tricks the stereo into thinking the brake is always on).just sayin' I've heard that, that's all. The doubledin will have a screen and therefore legally the parking brake wire should be connected to the feed on your handbrake, which restricts the screen being on until the parking brake is engaged. The parking brake wire is tricky (legally).the original headunit didn't need it as there was no screen. The left side will be power, ignition, ground, illumination (although we'll come back to that), and a few others. OK so, the purple, grey, green and white cables shown on on the right of your Metra connection are your speaker wires. Here's the Metra harness I have which I thought had wires that cover all the speakers in the car minus the 2 subs in the doors. Hi Mike, all the wires on the new head unit match the metra connector (with exception of the parking brake wire?). Plenty of threads about on this, I did one many moons ago. Photos of the connectors you don't believe you need would help too.

is there a guide on here for installing aftermarket head units that includes the wiring?Hi,Īre the wires on the NEW headunit different to the metra connections (such as 12V and ignition that need swapping?).Ĭan you post which Metra harness you have? The only other slicing you should need to do is a 5 V regulator for the amps/woofers. I'm guessing I'll lose whatever function(s) these connectors provide but can anyone tell me what they are for? (speed volume or something else vehicle specific I'm guessing!) I know I'll have to cut and connect the wires on the new head unit to the metra connector but on the stock head unit there are another 2 smaller connectors that don't seem to have a socket on my new head unit and the wires don't match that on the metra connector. I've already got the dash kit to make it fit and the wiring harness connector from Metra. I've taken out the stock shaker 500 unit from my 05 V6 and have a new sony double din touchscreen.
