Hey all! I need some help with wiring my HU up. I've done it before on other cars and head units but this one is confusing me a bit. Here's a pic to see what I'm confused with:



Ok. So the two wires on the left are on the car side wiring harness. The wire on the right is on the stereo side wiring harness. Here's where I'm confused. I labeled the colors of the wires in the pic. On the stereo side harness there is only one wire that is similar in color to the others. It's a red orange color. It is not labeled at all on the wire itself like the others.

On the car side harness there is a red wire and an orange wire as you can see from the pic. I'm not sure how these need to be connected. Do I need to wire all three together in order to get the proper connection? Or if I only connect two of them which ones do I connect?

I would assume that the red ignition wire needs to be connected but I'm not positive. Thanks in advance!

 

What kind of HU?

 

That's pointing me in the right direction I think. Thanks.

 

It's a Pioneer DEH-1300MP

 

These are the wiring instructions for your particular radio model.

 

Thank you! That helps!
