wouldn't it be great if all the car manufacturers just decided to use a single USB cable for this type of thing instead of having 9000 wires for different data?
Hey Lorenzo, we need more people like you on youtube, you are a real teacher, most of the people that think they are teaching but it is just a monologue, like movie stars or a dictator....Thanks again, nice setup very clean
+Julio Torres thanks man!
I followed your instructions and connected this to that and put this to here and we're all good but my car transformed into Bumblebee and I can't transform it back to a normal car even though you explained it really good for nerds who already know how to do it.
Snap! Hopefully he's a yellow camaro
Best tutorial I've seen on this subject anywhere. Straight forward, succinct, easy to follow. Nice job.
Jaasau THank you for the comments! Let me know if you want us to make a video on another topic or installation process.
Thank you
For explaining so well im installing a new radio on my z31 today
Have fun!
I found this video because of the "metro" type of harness. As background info, we have a 2000 National Tropi-Cal RV with a Ford F53 engine. We're removing the old radio/cassette player (Audiovox IM500). I received the color schematic for this radio from ASA (who did original install) so I can match up the wires (by color and function) from the old to the wires on the BOSS Audio 508UAB Car Stereo - Single Din radio we purchased. We purchased a wiring harness Metra 70-1771 Radio Wiring Harness for Ford/Lincoln/Mazda 1998-Up into Car, 16 Pin) (but apparently there is NO plug that matches behind the dash). Instead, we actually have the one like you show in this video. Here's the difference (and my question), the original radio wires didn't have the TWO wires (+ and -) like the new radio/CD player. Do they go into the SAME place? Hope I don't sound too ignorant...but this will be my first time doing this (and my hubby's). We were thinking to match up the corresponding old wires with the new wires (to the matching speakers, and also ignition, ground, and battery (probably sauter them instead of using the butt connectors). Think this will work? If not...do you have any suggestions? Sorry this is so long!
ive noticed you reply to most of your comments.. my question is what is your favorite color
Tough to say, but I've always been more partial to blue
I just got myself a head unit and came to a confusion with the wiring harnesses, most the illumination wire(s). The harness that came with the head unit have one, but the harness to plug it into the car has two. How should they be wired together?
The video should be called "Woody Harrelson installs a car stereo"
😂😂😂😂
Quality Mobile Video does this also works for a 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse
Hahahaaha
If he assassinated a federal judge at the end you could say Woody Harrelson installs a car stereo and his dad kills a judge.
Lol no shit that is Woody!
But quick question if you keep on blowing fuses on the aftermarket radio how do you know if you matching all the wires up correctly
Woody harrelson's estranged brother from birth: I've been trying this new thing in my videos where I don't time lapse ANYTHING, simply play time lapse music over real-time play speed.. it's been working out great!! 😋
BAHAHAHA
Simple and helpful
Yea the two times ive had butt connectors installed with a cd player i had all sorts of issues. first time was done by a PROFESSIONAL installer and had to go back to the place 2 times because of loose wires and bad sound. Ended up taking the radio out myself and cutting the wires and re doing them with electrical tape. Never had a issue. Second time i tried the butt connector myself. I crimped down with a actual tool that gave the proper pressure for the size wire and all. ended up with the same issue like years prior when i was a teen. Ripped it out and tape and twisted it as well. Ever since ive only ever taped and twisted my systems. I have a truck that i did when i was 18 that my brother still has and never has had a issue with my install. ELECTRICAL TAPE FTW
i have on one end 2 yellows... on the another end on yellow... do i have to eliminate one yellow (from the side that has 2).... or mix all 3?
I have a car with factory sub woofers. The amp for that is turned on with 5 V. My new stereo provides 12V for that function which will create a pop when turned on.
Other resources have said to "just" hookup a 7805 voltage regulator "chip" and you're good to go.
I am fairly well versed with those kind of voltage regulators but have always used support components.
Do you know how to make that connection? I've probably got some lying around.
Thank you for the video. It's helpful:)
:)
I hooked my new stereo up and now the stereo and dash cluster lights won’t turn off. I have a 2013 Silverado. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Hope you have a blessed day.
Can you please help with the wiring for a Pioneer FH-X731BT?
The Pioneer harness has a blue and white System Remote wire.
The Metra 70-5520 harness has
Power Antenna Blue wire.
Amp Turn On blue and white wire.
Amp Ground black and white wire.
Which one on the Metra harness does the Pioneer System Remote wire go to? Ive heard the System Remote wire is for Amp Turn On and also for Power Antenna.
The Metra harness has a Orange Illumination wire and a Orange and White Dimmer wire, the Pioneer only has a single Orange and White wire.
This is for a 2006 Sonata *without* the factory amp and subwoofer. No other amps are being added, just the radio to the stock door speakers and front door tweeters and has a antenna in the back window glass.
I had to buy 2 Metra harnesses and take the Yellow memory wire from one harness and put it into the larger empty slot on the other harness that I will be using because that will match the slot on the cars (Sonata) factory harness where the Power Antenna goes. At least that is what I have read I should do.
The Metra harness also has a Brown Phone Mute wire, which the Pioneer does not have.
The rest of the wires on the Metra Harness and the Pioneer harness seem to be the same..
8 wires for the speakers.
Red ignition.
Yellow Battery.
Black Ground.
Nice video but there are some mistakes here.
Never twist the wire before crimping - this bulks out the wire and may come loose over time through vibration.
Never fold over the end of the wire either - bulks the wire for no reason - just use the correct size crimp/butt connector.
Also - crimps are better than solder - you can get a dry join on solder that will disintegrate over time and come loose.
Use the correct size crimp in the first place and with a heat shrink boot over the top.
Question... I bought a pioneer avh1550 nex. Sold me everything they said I would need but I don’t have any connectors. Besides the ways mentioned in your video is there a way to make the connections such as twisting the wires together and electrical taping it off. My first aftermarket install so I don’t really know
Method of wire connections are totally up to you and comes with some risks. Many believe(including me) that soldering makes the best connection. It makes the strongest and most reliable connection.But you would also have to use heat shrink and not everyone has a soldering iron or the time to do it. So most people I know use butt connectors. (I believe Best Buy does). Just be sure to use a crimper, not pliers to make a reasonable connection but might fail later.
Twisting wires together and taping them off might work for a short time but will probably fail soon.
I understand which wire goes to what and even the colors and how to solder as I have an electronics background. What you do not do is explain which connector goes to what and why as when you purchase an install kit it comes with multiple connectors with all the same wires and no explanation of which connector goes to what.
Most kits come with a few sizes you have to figure out which one fits your factory harness by taking out the old deck. When you find the one that fits you then connect the wires from the harness to the wire harness for the deck. When those are all connected you plug everything in
Need to know what to do with the ground cable?
If there is no ground on your radio harness than you need to put a ring terminal on it and hook it up to a any bolt that's touching bare metal
WOULD'VE HELPFUL SHOWED US THE WIRE INSTALL TO THE CARS HARNESS?
Easy now, he did say he was wiring it to a Metra harness. Which is what you buy so it plugs right into your specific cars harness, so you don't have butcher your existing wiring.
How I connect to the floor please and which wire it’s supposed to be
I got pioneer touch screen Bluetooth not available please advise
Can you make video for avh-120bt and harness for 97 nissan maxima
It was a great tutorial. I want to set up a Pioneer AVH-4000NEX in my desk to do some testing so I don't have a normal vehicle setup. Could you give me instructions on how to connect it to power like a 12V car battery?
What happens if you don’t ground to the frame??
I got a 1993 Nissan hard body and I bought a scosche wire harness adapter and the adapter came with the harness I needed but the harness has an extra one attached to it with wires and I don’t know what I’m supposed to do with the extra harness. Am I supposed to cut it off or what?
Very good method....
I have 2012 dodge caravan and the factory harness has yellow and red strip but my aftermarket harness from sosche only has a yellow wire and a red one...when I put red and yellow together and connected to the yellow wire everything turn on but cant get it to turn off...please help!!
Hi lorenzo i have installed one Android 11.0 9" but when the volume going up 19 the quality of sound it's terrible what is wrong?
We have seen the internal amps and preamps on some models distort very badly. If you’re using the preamps you may want to use a line driver.
Hey, so i had a quick question. One of the speakers in my 2002 dodge ram isnt working, so i moved it to the other side to see if it works, and it works well. So what do i do? Is the other side not connected to the stereo or what?
It could be that or the speaker wire has been damaged
Quality Mobile Video ight, thx
My speaker wiring is not what the harness has my front left are tan and grey, my right front is dark green and light green, my left rear are Brown and yellow and finally my right rear are dark blue and light blue so how do I wire the new factory harness which I'm getting in two weeks its been ordered
excellent and simple tutorial, good job
Does it go to the blue and white wire ? Or the solid blue
I have aftermarket head unit and I recently bought a new one can I just unplug the old one and plug in to the new one or I have to buy a new harness
You'll need a new harness
julio bello depends. some of the Sony head units used alot of the same plugs in there radios
What should I do if i have the accessory wire ran to hazard light button, and it keep blowing the fuses to both the turn signal/hazard lights , and the radio fuse... with the key turned over I blow those fuses as soon as I put them in. Causing my turn signals to stop working and no power the deck. What should I do ? Please help ?
I've connected all the wires to both of the harnesses but my question is I've seen other videos that do not connect the ground to the other harness. but in my harness I have the wire for ground connection do I connect it to it or ground the wire on metal ??
David Guajardo if your car has a ground wire in the harness, connect it to it
Most of all my wires are different colours compared to the ones that came with my new stereo what do it do?
Hi,
what do you recommend when trying to connect to much thicker wires? (thin to thicker)
Soldering the connections.
So if i have install a 4 channel amplifier, the harness i just join the 4 point, beteri power, key power, ground, remote and only?
The speaker cable will go out from 4 channel amplifier, the harness there terminate the part of speaker by hot tube.
Its Correct do like this?
I installed a 2 din after market stereo and it is draining my battery. Do u know why? I match the wiring color.
I have a wiring harness for a sony radio with 13 wires. I‘m trying to connect it to a VW harness and I have leftover wires on the VW one after i connect them both. Colours match up for connected wires.
Are they leftovers from the features my new radio doesn‘t have like the speed sensor? What should I do with the leftover wires? I‘d appreciate some advice
I got a f150 and it already had a single din when i bough it and now im upgrading to a double din but my truck has a cable (red) comming from a a fuse and i connected to my red wire on the radio and nothing happened but it was connect to the red wire on the old radio then i wired the red and the yellow together with the wire coming from the fuse and it turned on
Lorenzo you are a true professional thank you for your videos. I was looking for like a text book on 12 volt install but I can never find one do you have any idea? Im thinking like certification matetial?
Where exactly would you ground at black wire?
yep, just came for the same question
Cam Mims ur ass
Dom
Ass hole 😭
Add ur ground to the inside radio department and connect your ground wire from the metal radio bracket to the inside the dash where the radio goes
how far do you stick the copper wire into the butt connector and what tool do you use to crimp it?
Snug it in, and a wore crimper/cutter tools from a parts store..few dollars
i don't have the blue wire on my radio hardness (pdx502bt Kenwood) and i need to plug two blue/white wire to it....i don't know witch wire using to connect the 2 blue/white wire...need help please....
What if the all the wire colors don’t match to the new stereo adapter colors?
What is your make/model/year and what harness did you buy?
I figured it out. Someone added another harness that they wired themselves and used different colored wires. Why I don’t know. But, i figured it out. Thanks
Hi there just want to ask if this one is suits for nissan micra 2009?!
Hey Phoebe! I'm not super familiar with non-American models of vehicles. From photos, it looks like a simple Double DIN stereo and I would be it can be replaced fairly easily. But I would try and find a car audio dealer near you in Australia online and see if they can give your better answers
Thank so much for this video! You were on point and clear in explanations...I have subd..
Glad it helped!
thank you. I will try that
I have some wires that literally does not match any of the wires that came with the aftermarket. Like there's white w red line, brown wire, and some other ones.
nice tutorial
+Denio Ribeiro Thanks for watching!
+Quality Mobile Video Question: My radio harness has a Orange/White wire that says "connect to a car's Illumination signal" but the Orange/White wire on my adapter harness says "Dimmer". My adapter harness also has a Orange wire that Just says "Illumination". Which one should I connect to?

What type of source for ground would be in the car?
Hello! VW Polo (9N) should bracket. I would like this to order? Thank you for your answers
My radio wont turn on when all the wires all right by color only way I got it to turn on is by having the red and yellow together on both harnesses and my car is a 2010 kia forte koup
My red wolf harness did not have red. Where woukd I stick red ? To fuse panel or something. ?
What's your make/model/year
Better yet where would u place those other 3 wires left aside?
I’m experienced when it comes to setting up subwoofers but I’ve never really set one up in a truck...
I’m having a hard time comprehending the harness aspect... did you purchase a particular harness for your name brand vehicle??( I can’t find the correct harness my new radio has a diff set up.... I was thinking about, cuting off the old connections that once connected to the old radio, and then to wire it straight to the new radio harness??
Check this out: ruclips.net/video/OXn8-8yee5o/видео.html
No video on youtube have mentioned the TXD and RXD wires.
That probably isn't very common for a stereo, it seems likely those are transmit and receive data connections (Tx,Rx are often abbreviations for transmit,receive) It could be for data transfer within the car, or some kind of wireless data connection.
I have a question, I just installed a Kenwood DDx25BT using and it comes on but when I turn the suv off and back on it automatically goes back to the startup screen, what do I need to check? Thanks.
You missed a wire
blue wire from the headunit goes to the red power wire to power antenna amplifier right ?
+d jones Blue wire from the radio connects to the remote turn on for the amplifier, not the main power input on the amp.
what connects to the power then?
I know this is a late comment but is bending the wire more effective or is stripping it more effective?
+CJay No such thing as a late comment this video is the platform for an ongoing open conversation for any questions you guys have! Definitely strip the wires
Okay cool. So strip them 1/4 instead of bend?
I'm honestly not sure what you mean by bend?
you bent the wire before crimping it in the butt.
Yes, we recommend that approach, that way the wire cant easily be pulled out of the butt connector.
hi friend I installed one. there is power but no sound from speakers
any help plz
Sounds like you wired the harness wrong. Its hard to know what you did wrong without seeing it

so I installed a CD player in my friend's car. he don't have a amp or subs. but after about 15-25min his CD player cuts of. and he has to turn the car off then back on to get it working again. I THINK he also said it does it only when the volume is around 30-40.. he thinks a wire is loose or I hooked it up wrong. and I think it's the CD player that it's just defective. have u heard or had this problem b4. please give me feedback asap
Hey Cory. Could be a lot of things, yea the radio could be defective. Also could be a wiring issue with the harness, sounds like a voltage drop, make sure all the power cables are secure and unbroken. Could be a bad ground, you king of just have to diagnose it by process of elimination.
Why does my stereo stay even when I shut off car? Help please??
I just got a new head unit system but after I took the old one out it appears that there is no harness and all of them are crimped, do I have to crimp them.
Did you get a new harness as well? if not what's your car's make, model, year?
So my stereo only comes on if I connect the yellow and red, everything else it connected correctly am I missing something?

I've got a Honda Accord euro and was wondering if I was to install a aftermarket stereo system can I still have the original head unit fully functional with music and all? thanks
You mean if you had the old stereo outside of the car?
Liam Winning yes, but that's a lot of work and makes no sense to do
I connected the cables and on the harness that I bought I was left over with two orange, one light green and pink.on the clarionvx404 I have two blue ones and I believe one white.the system won't turn on.please help
+Javier Cervantes Orange is for illumination, light green is ususally parking brake, pink is for VSS.

Great watch thank u
I need to find a video on how to install this in my 07 prius
I recommend buying another vehicle. Will also eliminate the problem of being made fun of, and will stop the guys with nice trucks from rolling coal all over it 🤙🏼
Does this system works with steering wheel keys?
Yes, aftermarket car radios can work with factory steering wheel controls. You will need a Metra ASWC steering wheel module and that radio must have a wired remote control input for it to work.
I saw those RCA cable for speakers. My thing is the interface I bought have it but my stereo speaker wires doesnt have it. Can I just cut the RCA then follow the color for speakers?
Did you ever figure this out? I am running with the same issue dont know if i can cut rca to connect my harness for audio.
What is your wiring gauge (AWG) recommendation to the constant, ground and speakers wires?
The power and ground terminals depend on the power draw of your system, generally 4 gauge is safe for average systems, but once you start using really powerful amps you have to go down. 10-12 gauge is always safe for speakers and subs
@@Qualitymobilevideo
I have stock right now , so what is usually comes from manufacturer?
I'm having little bit of trouble I gota connect the yellow and red together to have the radio turn and that keeps it on all the time when I do yellow to yellow and red to red it doesn't turn on. what can it be
+pimpala559 This is caused by an issue with your accessory. You should not connect the Yellow and Red together as the radio will stay on all the time if connected to constant. Check you accessory or red wire connection.
thank

Hey man. I replaced the radio on my 2005 crv but know every time that open the key to turn the crv on the needles on the dashboard start shaking. What did I do wrong?
It means your car battery is low. Their might be drain on your battery.
Very nice
Sir.i have pioneer4200nex device.i buy this device from accidental car market.when i switch on this device its show some passowrd.can you help me how to remove this password otion or how to factory reset this device
Some details were left unexplained... Are the colors always matching? Should I cut the harnesses so they take up less space behind the unit? Is a crimp connector really good, or bad and why?
Guillaume Gaudreault crimp connectors are good in the sense that they're easy to use to make connections, but they can also come loose over time. Could be poorly crimped, could've come loose from vibrations, who knows. Or you could crimp and never have a problem. It can be a gamble. Solder takes a little more effort but much less likely to vibrate loose
you can't trust colors by 100% because there may have left-over wires with different colors and you can't understand what to do next if you don't have experience in this. Also different makers, such as chinese aftermarket units may have different colors. Today chinese aftermarket units are very popular because most of them have Android platform and units are internet ready to play audio/video directly from youtube etc. Such Pioneer/Kenwood/Sony units are old-style/old-school. They have small displays and very few features, you just pay for brand not features. Brand units have their own GPS applications that's are outdated and needs to be maintained by car/unit manufacturer service to update firmware/software. It takes a lot of headaches.
Personally I'll reccomend up-to-date unit, even aftermarket and forget these old-school units without operating system.
Then how do you match the wires together? I can't find charts online.
MartinVideos1 no one explains how to connect the wires from the radio to the wires head from the car...
Let's assume I have red wire from the car (connected to the head.. (all the wires in this plastic)), and the red wire (according to my car's manufacturer) is for antenna, instead of accessory switch,
(In other words- on the radio red is accessory, but the red from the car is for antenna...)
I will need to still match colors? Or the connector will change according to the car wires? Or should i do it my self- connect the antenna to antenna, and accessory to accessory? Even if is not the same color...
This stuff is just to simple for them, so they dont even mention that..
For me is a completely new language...🙄
I have a question. I installed the clarion nx404 in my 2012 galant about a year ago and then maybe 8 months the the line my clock radio and lighter turn off and I checked each fuse and changed them all it all came back on but two days ago it happened again I changed the fuses again but nothing happened this time PLEASE HELP!!
It may be an issue with the wiring harness, and you may need this one: www.qualitymobilevideo.com/70-7001.html
I forgot to mention stock radio is not working also. Any idea??
Well the wiring harness might be the solution for all the problems, sounds like a wiring mistake during the original install
somewhat confused, what's the point of the wiring harness, can't you just hook up the new radio into the car using the old cable coming out of the car?
Every vehicle is unique in terms of internal factory wiring. The dealership wiring matches the dealership radio. Wiring harnesses are necessary because they're designed to replace these factory wire cut ins because you're installing an after market stereo. The dealerships factory wiring will not match your new radio's connection. The harnesses enable you to match up the wires for each connection to the new stereo's wiring harness. Once that's done, you plug the other end of the harness into your car's wiring connector (the one that was plugged into the factory radio). Using your car's factory stereo plug wiring connector is the key to installing a new stereo without damaging your vehicle's electronics, especially in modern vehicles
thanks for the response, another question, why aren't premade harnesses sold, ones that you don't have to set up yourself
Well they are, but everything is specific. So each radio comes with a harness, but you also need to get the specific harness for your vehicle's make and model. So for example, lets say you buy a radio, with it you get the radio's harness, but then you'll have to also get another harness that is specifically made your vehicle and then combine them yourself (or the installer will). It's all because each car manufacturer has unique wiring, and each radio manufacturer has unique wiring, but the third harness integrates them both
ah, I see thanks
It's called a hard wire old school and yes you can do it harness is easier
can you help me? I installed my dvd stereo but im having a problem, i think my stereo is consuming my battery cuz after I installed the sereo my battery dies
Yea that sounds like a wiring issue! There's a current draw going on somewhere, its hard to diagnose without seeing it myself so you'd have to do some investigating or bring it to someone. make sure you wired the harness correctly. Could be a loose connection at the battery terminal. Could be related to the ground, your amplifier, etc. Make sure that the head unit itself fully shuts off when you shut the car off. This is verified by having 0.0 DCV on ignition and 0.0 ACV on a speaker output when the car is off.
My car stereo suddenly doesn't have power, i did check fuse in the stereo, power wire still good, fuses in tge fuse box all good, audio fuse good, but the stereo still don't have power. i swapped my stereo to mg friend' car still work fine. do you gave any suggestions for me please.🙏🙏🙏. Thank you so much.
Sounds like a wiring/power issue with your vehicle. I would check to make sure you have a good ground
Thank you, i will check again, but before it worked fine about 6 months back. dont know why it happens now 😁
Yea its definitely an issue with your car if it works fine in your friends! You just have to do some investigating to figure out the issue, I would I could give a definite answer but it requires a hands on diagnosis
Cheers bro, will do 😉
Good luck!

I have 3 radios Everytime I wire them up to my car only the power comes on I can't get the speakers to work. Only 1 speaker comes on and it's very low
Sounds like your speaker wiring from the harness to the speakers is possibly broken
Try testing the wires continuity

and somehow wire the new stereo so it would only play sound if the original one is on AUX (CDC), the orginal head unit has a plug under it, not 100% sure of everything it does but some hook up AUX and you can get a wiring harness to fit that plug for stereo, but i want to know if you can keep the sound of the original head unit? with a after market one, hope that makes sense.
thanks.
Do I use 70 or 71? Even if my car already has a after market stereo?
70 harnesses are for aftermarkets, 71 are for factory radio's
I have a pioneer stereo and my harness is cr012 for my 1998 Chrysler sebring and the orange and blue wire does not connect to anything and no sound comes out my sakes when I hook it up
Looks like you need these harnesses instead: www.qualitymobilevideo.com/70-1817.html

Im having an issue where when i turn the key on the stereo will work fine but when i start the engine up the head unit will shut off and not come back on anyone know what i did wrong?
I prefer better to make connections by soldering wires not making connections by clipping connectors on both wire endings.
Soldered wires give better connection and reliability, after soldering wear cambricks over wires and heat them to make good isolation.
After soldering you don't need to check wires because connections are perfect.
