So im in the middle of installing my new HU today its a Pioneer AVH-P2400DVD I have a question about the wiring harness. Im using a metra harness to connect to the pioneer harness. the metra has a blue wire that it lists as a "Power Antenna" wire and a blue-white that it lists as a "power amp" wire. On the Pioneer harness it has only a blue-white that it says to connect to the "control terminal of the power amp or auto antenna relay control terminal" so does anyone know which of the wires from the metra harness need to go to this or should i hook them both to it? Im installing this right now so any help asap would be appreciated.

 

OK I Looked at the harness in the dash that the metra plugs into and there are no wires for either of the sockets that the blue and blue-white plug into, so I would assume that I dont need to hook up either of these to the pioneer harness?

 

Hey AZ
I used to mess around with that stuff alot years ago, someone can correct me if I am wrong but I beleive those are for aftermarket amp and also apower ant. which you dont have so they should both be left unconnected.
Hope this helps
Dave

 

Yes thats correct, I got everything hooked up and it works great!

 

Glad to hear it went well now we need Pics!!!

 

Ill take some today. One issue I do have is playing video with my Ipod, anyone know anything about this?

 

The reason the Metra harness has additional wires is it is made for a multitude of vehicles, some with factory amps and subs and power antenna. My harness for the wife's Expedition came with a whole additional harness with RCA connectors and amp turn on wiring for a factory amp she does not have.

 

If you need help with the video and your Ipod. Email me.
