Headdunit help!! ASAP! buddys neon

[Robsmokey]

i have a buddy who has a neon sx 2.0. 2003, we took his factory hu out & started wiring his new one in. came to realisation that theres more wires than needed... the hu Wire harness has less wires than the Car had originally. these wires are random colours and are hard to match with eachother. hes using a cheap wallmart deck, "dual" to be exact. & i feel like an ass cause i dont wanna send him home without music! any output !!!!!

buy the correct wiring harness for the stereo to car, wire it at your kitchen table, go out to Car and plug it in, vwalla!!

[sri3850341]

Also in the future if you plan to install other systems, it is great practice to NOT cut into any stock harness!!!!!

ding ding ding. even my gf was able to solder up the harness and install a hu all by herself. one of her proudest moments

[Robsmokey]

theres a wirinf harness that came with it¡ your telling me theres a seperate wiring harness for a neon specifically¿ like youd assume the one that came with the deck would work. those are the extra wiress

[Robsmokey]

coukd it be because its a cheap brand of h\u`s

[Robsmokey]

like theres 6 wires left to wire... & the harness only has four more wires. It dosent make sennnnnse

[Robsmokey]

Your friends first problem is he drives a Neon.

The spare wires probably go to something the aftermarket HU doesn't have, like gps.

Stock GPS in a Neon.. I think not, Professor

Actually I couldnt say for sure, could be wrong but I dont see a Neon having GPS, at least in 03

Solder a harness.

Pshhh electrical tape and twisting all the way...

(pretty sure I'll end up with a super frustrating intermittent open circuit lol)

Well you just cost yourself some cash and time. Good chance you've fried that deck. Stop right where you are now and go get a harness from a junkyard (unless you were smart enough to keep the factory harness you cut out). Wire it back in the way it came out, check the fuses in the fuse box to make sure you haven't shorted anything out, and try the old factory radio.

Once you get that done, go to Wal Mart, or any store that deals in car audio and get the wiring harness for that year Dodge neon. Wire the radio to that and plug it up. Live and learn man, we were all young once

what this guy said, you gotta buy a harness that matches, that way everything gets matched up. pretty much a plug and play application really

My 6 year old son pre-wires my autostart and/or deck harnesses for me sometimes (including solder) so yeah, no one can tell me soldering is too hard or not worth it.

And yes, ALWAYS buy the harness adapter and NEVER cut the plugs off the end of the factory harness.

If you already did this you can buy this http://www.metraonline.com/part/71-6502-1 replacement harness... if you want to wire in a new deck you might as well buy this http://www.metraonline.com/part/70-6502 adapter harness as well.

The attachment shows the wire colors you will need if you want to proceed without buying anything new. Just tape off the wires that you don't use in the factory wire harness.

I've got a 2002 Chevrolet cavalier and I'm puttin in a cd pioneer CD player which wires go we're because the wiring harnesses were gone wen I got the car so how do I hook it up were the CD player turns on and off with the car and how do I run the remote wire for my amplifier to make amp turn on and off with the CD player

[RidinLoudProd]

bam, Look around online for the year make and model of your car to figure out what wires are what. I hate it when people cut the stock harness off makes everything a PAIN. to wire your amp up. there be a blue wire that comes out of your cd player. thats your remote wire. yellow wire on your cd player is your constant power goes to your battery. the red wire goes to your ignition source to turn the unit on and off with the car.

cars normaly have extra wires. DIM lights or some **** and some other weird wires. maybe even a autotheft type set up. which is where you want the aftermarket harness to wire it all up so nothing shorts out and everything works.

I had a friend that decided to cut his harness and wire it up straight, which is a pain because you need to twist and tape the wires with your hands n the dash half the time it seems like. His dad was drivin the car and it started smoking. something shorted out and about caught the car on fire he had to break the dash yanking the unit out. Thats why I always solder and shrink tube the connections. SOLID connection, no shorts no worries.

[Bam420]

Ok we'll theirs not a blue wire on the back of the CD player how can I fix that??

[Bam420]

Do u no how to figure out which little slot the rem wire supposed to be in on the head unit
