    Wires everywhere!!!

    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?

      Did it come with premium sound?

        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.

                      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.
