lmao. you have to have self control when u go to casinos. like... have 40 bucks in your wallet and that's all you spend. no ATMs unless you want food or something. (now i want to go to the casino thanks guys)

 

lol i spent 2 walked out with 45

 

ok so i'm pre wiring my new headunit. i'm a bit stumped on a few wires.




off the headunits wire harness theres a wire maked
illumination control. but on the vehicle harness theres
two wires marked positive dimmer and negative dimmer.
what goes to what?

then
off the headunits wire harness theres a wire marked
"to a live terminal in the fuse block connecting to the car battery
(bypassing the ignition switch)(constant 12v) and off the vehicle harness
it says 12 volt batt/memory and both are yellow. just not sure

then
off the headunits wire harness theres a wire marked
"to an accessory terminal in the fuse block. and off the
vehicle harness its labeled 12 volt ignition/acc..... they are both red


just not sure about the labeling. all of it so far was color for color.


and does anyone know if the tv will work if i don't hook up the ebrake cable?

 

normal red red yellow yellow.......as for the dimmer I havent a clue my headunit didnt have that option...everything else but lol.....but yeah red is ignition yellow is battery/constant

 

thanks mzn, does anyone have a sugestion for the dimmer pos and neg, and only illumination controle???

 

I never hook up illumination or dimmer at work. But since its a screen I would. Look at the plug that connects to the car. One of those wires will connect to a sold green wire. Use that wire and connect it to the orange wire off of the JVC radio.

 

alright i'll try that in the am

 

U got me on the dimmer question, I would assume the Positive lead would be the answer. Frank mentioned the Yellow and Red...the yellow needs constant cuz of memory functions.

As for the e-brake...depends on the head units set-up. Some just need to be grounded once to activate the monitor, so you can just permanently ground the wire and you'll be in business. Some need to be grounded on and of 2-3 times to activate the monitor, if that's the case you can ground the wire but need to insert a on/off switch in the circut. Then you just toggle on and off whatever amount of times the unit requires till the monitor stays on.

 

Ya then you get into the ones with built in gyros and need to take the phone mute wire out of its pin location and move it to a different row lmao.

Jeremy you will be fine, I think Lisa has my screen name so hit me up if you need something.

 

ya money is kinda tight so i'm not gonna pay for someone to put it in when i'm capable of doing it. i just don't wanna mess anything up. ya know..........i'll post pics tomorrow. that might help a bit.

 

hell ya, plus its really easy to do. I do this ____ for a living and would be MORE than happy to help you out.

 

All that wiring talk gave me a headache lol

 

haha i have a website that gives me every wire diagram for any vehicle ever made.

 

But if you didnt have that website, would you be able to do it? LOL...

 

When I wired my stuff I had to use a diagram from online too. I hate wiring crap lol

 

Back when I worked at Circuit, we didnt have access to the wiring diagrams. Everything was based on actually knowing what you were doing. So we had to look and hunt for everything and figure it out. I wish we had the diagrams back then!

 

i got money for a paint gun and money for new wheels... woo woo

 

Finally, the speed run vid lol. Matt already saw it, my internet was down so i thought i would do it since i had nothing else to do. Don't get me wrong, I will probs never do this again.

Finding the wires for a head unit is no problem when you have a DMM. Doing remote starts is a pain when you dont have a diagram tho.

 

I'm guessing you can't get the diagrams from the manufacturer
