I have the Alpine CDA 9886. I just set it on blackout. I love it.
Help me pick a headunit: BMW CD43 / Nakamichi CD400 / Jensen JHD3510

Base model car makes it kinda easier: pull your fader out and unplug it. Unwrap the fader harness until you see the junction point where all the speaker grounds join: seperate them and you have all 4 corners.
Remember black stripes on a colored wire (not brown) are positive in BMWs.
The pioneer unit has a solid red wire for the ACC function on the ignition. Just one wire. The BMW has two wires apparently for that. If those two are joined, and joined to the red wire, the head unit works fine. Except that the 'defrost' button on the dash lights up even when the car is off.
Also, what the hell does the head unit attach to in the dash so it doesn't fall out?
I got the unit functioning and all the speakers wired up correctly at least.Comment
