dojj

i have partaken in a small cold drink, so i am unable to come out, otherwise i would have made a trip down the road

All it is, is taking out 1 or 2 leads and plugging them into the new unit? unless its a totally different headunit and the one thats coming out its very old and needs new wires etc, then its abit more tricky

MAD EVO 4

exactly that mate

An old Sony out and a brand new Kenwood to go in its place

m8 it easy one perment live ,one live from the ign,and one earth ,the other wires r speakers + and - plus you got the manual

Matt Baxter

iTrader: (37)

when do you want it done

BM08

Good choice, my kenwood replaced a sony cd/radio and the sound is much clearer with more bass, and it looks better

If you get stuck i'll come and patronise, i mean help.

Dangerous Malcolm..

Depending on your car you may have the standard ISO connectors in place which means plug and play, if not you can buy wiring adaptors to convert your cars loom to ISO. You may also need an aerial adaptor.

BM08

I think the head units come with those? ive got two here

Matt Baxter

iTrader: (37)

run it round and i will sort it for you if you want

Dangerous Malcolm..

When I got the BM I had to buy one of these for the wiring.

MAD EVO 4

I would mate thank you , but the evo is sorned and has a puncture on the front plus ie been drinking

Thank you for the offer

Matt Baxter

iTrader: (37)

Just give me a shout if you want a hand then, but it should be plug and play

MAD EVO 4

Thats what I though some one has done some bad wiring when fitting the old sony unit.

Basically I have i small iso block in the loom now but coming out of the new kenwood unit i have a 2 layer iso plug

BM08

Dont think i had to buy anything, as the sony unit that was already in there wasnt THAT old, so the wiring was plug and play

Matt Baxter

iTrader: (37)

I see, so which is missing power or speakers

MAD EVO 4

im going go into my garage abd take some pics

MAD EVO 4

So this is what I found once old head unit removed




Plugs that are in the loom




My new plug from new head unit





Hope this helps peeps, what do I need to buy or do ??

I could fix that easy peasy

MAD EVO 4

explain please

Rich_w

This is what you want. A sony "Female" to ISO Male



Saying that, I'd be inclined to get rid of those connector blocks. Not hard to do. Get a meter / test probe. Then find out which of the terminals on the black plug are

Permanent feed (prob red)
Switched feed (prob yellow)
Earth (black or brown)
illumination (orange sometimes)
Aux/remote (blue)

Then find which of the 8 wires are for
LF + and -
LR + and -
RF + and -
RR + and -

Do that then come back to us. If you were closer, I'd come do it for a tenner.

ETA : that white plug as the wires cut on it?

Chip

iTrader: (3)

The speaker wires are the white/green/purple/grey pairs.

Utter piece of cake sorting that mate, seriously.

JoeRS22

iTrader: (2)

joke mate good luck

MAD EVO 4

I dont know why some of the wires on the white plug are cut

georgie1

iTrader: (6)

you dont need to buy anything just find out which is igh live ,perment live and earth either cut wires on old plugs then join to new plug just tape bare wire or use the same thing like the speaker plugs

Matt Baxter

iTrader: (37)

if it was me i would get a new iso plug that can be cut about and soldier in in to your loom

like this

MAD EVO 4

you pm mate

dojj

iTrader: (3)

all you need is a tester to show you what has power coming out of it when the ignition is off (permanent live) and what has power going to it when you turn the ignition on (switched ignition)

the rest, as chip says, is easy as matching wires to wires

3i_gaz

the wires on the didgy connector blocks are your speakers.

the ones on the crimp ends will be your live, ign live, earth and remote.

get the meter out you lazy fucker lol

why do people totally fuck a car loom with bodgit connectors for the sake of saving £10 for the proper lead?? makes no sense. On a £50 auction special i could understand it, but evo's arent cheap cars

i would have done this but ffs esay as
