Wires everywhere!!!

[5ickride]

Just got my JVC head unit and i figured i'd give it a shot at installing it. But holy crap there are way too many things going on that i'm not even going to try it anymore. Unless someone has an "Idiots" guide to installing this, i might just take it somewhere.

Here are two pics i took.

Stock wires


Wires that came with unit.

What year/model is your car?

I just did mine 2 nights ago. it's not that bad. Notes from StereoInstaller helped me a lot from his previous posts.

Thanks Luke by the way.

It also came with two other wires that i think are for the amp.

Well, if you think you can connect 7 wires just exactly as I tell you , I can get you up and running.

OK, here ya go:

Deck Car
Red Violet/white
Yellow Red/Green
Black ALL brown
Blue or blue/white BOTH white wires
Gray blue
White Yellow

Now pay attention here: DO NOT CONNECT ANY WIRES I DID NOT LIST.

Do NOT connect the decks speaker grounds to anything. Do not connect any of the cars wires to anything at all, unless listed.

Oh: that was only 6 connections. Sorry.

Ok, just so i dont screw this up (sorry, i cant help it)...im connecting the following:

DECK wire to CAR wire
Red Violet wire to White wire
Yellow/Red wire to Green wire
Black wire to ALL Brown wire
Blue or Blue/White wire to BOTH White wires
Gray wire to Blue wire
White wire to Yellow wire

Do i have this right?

I guess i need to get some tools and stuff? Wire crimpers, electric tape, ?

A few pics
What are the two wires at top of pic? Instructions inside call it a "Receiver Wiring Adaptor"...do i need them?






Thanks

Oh shit, I didn't check if that posted OK or not.

It didn't.

No, the "/" means the stripe on that wire, so red/green would be a red wire with a green stripe.
