I bought a Boss BV9565Bi in-dash reciever and I'm having trouble wiring it up.
It came with a scosche FDK11 harness to help me wire it to my stock harness, but the colors don't match up. I color matched them the best I could and it didn't turn on. Is there any guide and/or advice anyone can give me to wire this thing up properly please? I've never wired a head unit before.

 

not trying to be an *** but did you ground it? and if you have any pictures of how your wired it might help.

 

Yea the power and ground were the obvious ones lol.
I dont have a picture at the moment I'm working offshore with cleaning BP's oil spill, but all I need to know is how to wire the ones that dont color match. How am I supposed to know which ones go to what?

 

if the colors dont match, dont hook them up. Pretty simple...

 

70% of them don't match. I'm pretty sure I need a diagram as to what each wire represents on the harness I have.

 

according to the owners manual downloaded from crutchfield, it should have the CEA compliant wire colors, just as the FDK11 should. Yellow, Red, Black, White, white black, gray, gray/black, green, green/black, purple, and purple/black

 

the12volt.com......go to ford, scroll down to your year, make and model and look to the right. it should say audio. thats your wiring diagram. the colors are not going to match

 

Wow man thanks!
big help.
