I am not very electrical savy so this install has been giving me some trouble. I just bought the pioneer 3100 and it came with the scosche harness and dd kit. I got the dd kit to work and I connected most of the wires from the back of the unit to the harness. I have a couple questions though. Were is a good place to put the two ground wires? The wires a fairley short and I dont have much room to work with. Second the harness has 2 blue and white cables do those go into that splitter looking cable that has the red and white hookups? Last were is the parking break wire located and is there anyway to bypass that?
Any info would help ALOT! haha.
Thanks

 

anyone

 

ummmm.... thats pretty simple, i believe the ground shoul be the solid black wire, just put them all together. if there is a blue wire coming out of your aftermarket harness thatsfor your amp turn on, if you dont have an amp dont hook that up..... there shoud be a red and a yellow those are your power wires, you ave to read the instructions and see if the red is the ignition power or the continuous power, use a test light if you dont have one go get one you can pick them up for dirt cheap.... put the red, or yellow which ever one has power all the time even when the ignition is off to the radio memory wire or continuous power to the radio, the one that only has power to the ignition wire in the harness, and that should be it...oh there is another dimmer wire that puts 12 volts to the radio when you turn your lights on..... the wireing instructions shoud tell you everything, or like i said get a test light, for the brake wire it's probably a ground wire jut tap it into the bundle of ground wires you already have.... but doubble check on it, it might be power too.

 

yea i have the audiophile so I do have an amp thats what im confused on. Theres 2 blue and whites coming from the aftermarket harness do I use both?

 

You should be wiring up two harnesses if you have the audiophile setup.

One harness will have the red, yellow, black, orange, blue, and then the 8 speaker wires.

THe other harness will have two blue wires and then a pair of RCA's (one red, one white)

Wire those two blue wires together and also to the blue with white stripe wire on the other bigger harness. This is the signal to tell the amp to turn on. Then of course plug in the white and red plugs into the back of the deck. Put them in the subwoofer port if you have one.

You are going to notice that sub will pop everytime you turn the truck on and off though. You have to wire up a resistor in there to get it to not pop. Slightly more involved.

 

thanks figured it all out today. Were do I get the ressistor at? cuz yea it does pop. Also how do i bypass the brake wire to watch dvds while driving?
