Regarding the above post by me.... the audio forums aren't as popular thought i'd ask the question here and it make it sound "less technical"....

Can someone with a workshop manual try and look up the pinout colours and corrosponding connections for the stock wire loom so I can hook up my new Pioneer Headunit :ticking:

Please!!! and thanks in advance

Would you beleive it is but im too dumb to decode it :(
Can someone help me out

I know the letter mean like gray black, etc etc (like for G/B)

Well im guessing...

I just want something easy to read that i can print out i.e

yellow wire - 12v power
red wire - earth
grey - rear speaker negative
green - rear speaker positive

etc etc

[XR6-VCT-2000]

12v power = yellow

earth = black

right rear speaker = + is dark blue & red , - is dark blue & black

left rear speaker = + is pink & dark green , - is pink & black

front right speaker = + is grey & black, - is grey & dark green

front left speaker = + is orange & black, - is orange & light green

Cheers mate, do you know which one is used for the Amp-on? (the wire to link to the amp to tell it to turn on with the headunit)

There are a few other colours on the loom a lot more than 6 wires should i not worry about these?

[XR6-VCT-2000]

going off that diagram/schematic , there is only 6 other wires left , those being ...

3 wires are for the mobile phone function, those wires being...
1/ Light blue & Yellow,
2/ Pink,
3/ Light Green.

the other 3 are .....

Accessories = Violet & Red
Illumination = Brown
Dimming = Dark blue & Red


EDIT .. oh sorry , i didnt chceck the other side of the unit on the schematic ..lol , stuid me . For the SUB + it say the RED wire , and for the SUB - it says the YELLOW wire .... note : this is off the 4 plug conector though only , dont go using the yellow 12v wire ! .

also for the volume controls on the steering wheel , if you headuntil has the function to use them , connect the 2 connections to the 'Red & Black' & 'Orange & Black' wires .

You use a remote wire, it should be a thin blue wire you run with your rca's...

Yes I know i use this, but what do I connect it to at the loom!
and thanks heaps XR6 VCT 2000

On the back of your new head unit loom, there is a wire with a big sticker that says "REMOTE"

[XR6-VCT-2000]

The 4pin plug hole on the back of the headunit is for powering the sub with the headunit . It really depends what input connections you have on your sub amp / are you using the factory aftermarket amp ?

This is basing the pinout plug off the factory headunit / the schematic supplied , other headunits will probably have a remote wire as mentioned above / the remote wire being a positive wire which powers the switch in the relay which powers the amp when the headunit is on / depending on how you have your amp wired/powered of course) ;) , cheers

[foxtrot]

Cheers now I get it all sorry for being dumb, didn't realise the Remote wire was to back of headunit (derr.. im at work dodging the boss so i wasn't thinking properly) i was talking like the amp would go to a wire on the cars loom lol!

DERRR

Ahh the 4 plug is for subs off headunit.

Well it's a pioneer headunit, I have a 4 channel kicker amp for the speakers.. will try and set it all up this weekend

Cheers guys!

Small correction to the above:
Constant 12V for memory wire = yellow (connect to yellow wire on head unit)
Accessories = Violet & Red (connect to red wire on head unit)
Dimming = Dark blue & Red (connect to brown or green wire on head unit, if there is one)
Power antenna = Red & Dark blue (connect to orange wire on head unit)

The rest is all right:
earth = black
right rear speaker = + is dark blue & red , - is dark blue & black
left rear speaker = + is pink & dark green , - is pink & black
front right speaker = + is grey & black, - is grey & dark green
front left speaker = + is orange & black, - is orange & light green

I've guessed at the headunit wiring based on ISO standards, but some manufacturers still use their own colours, so check in the instruction manual first.

An aftermarket loom from somewhere like supercheap is a very wise investment
You can still return it all to factory later and there is no cutting required.

If you get the ISO one just cut the 2 ISO ends off and wire it into your unit.
Very good idea for less than $30

Hi twisted EL

Coincencedentally I just did that, and all the colours matched up perfect (except the power antenna which i just saw on JC's post.. but i cant be bothered taking out my headunit and re-soldering when my antenna doesn't work anyway)

So yes, i soldered up my own perfect adapter loom

Series II AU speakers go HARD as for stock with my new headunit! will connect 4 channel amp and new speakers tomorrow though

Will have to make up a surround as well...

Worst thing was I blew the fuse for my Stereo so i was fiddling around stressing thinking wtf everything is perfect!!! Luckily i checked fuses and it was just that... headunit came straight to life

[TwistedEL]

Rofl touched the yellow wire against some metal I bet

Definitely need the speaker upgrade if you're serious - you will need to cut the old connector off in the doors. The surround is easy if you have a jigsaw/router & MDF.

And don't forget to run your RCA's down the opposite side of the vehicle to the power lines. And to put a fuse in near the battery for your amp.
Sorry if you knew all this.
It's a great feeling to know you did it all yourself

lol , i had it all right , i think ! ... i was just missing the electric aerial wires . And i only based it off the schematic , I've never even changed a headunit in an AU before ! .. , and i didn't have a clue what colours the wires are on aftermarket radios , thanks for the extra info too , as im sure it will come in handy for myself at a later stage too , cheers .
