    Thank you so much!! I was sold the wrong harness for my honda civic, and out of frustration I randomly decided that I had innate knowledge of wiring harnesses and lopped off the factory harness to hard wire the after market harness onto it. After 3 hours of fiddling and soldering the wrong wires together, I gave up and closed up the garage and hopped on youtube to find this video. The next morning I ran to the nearest hardware store, and got everything wired and setup in an hour. 10/10 would recommend everybody watch this video. Even if you're not wiring a stereo. Like if you're on the toilet and plan on staring at a wall mindlessly for the next 2 hours, i'd recommend you watch this video while you're doing that.

    You, Sir, are a STAR!! Took out the original factory-fitted radio and was baffled by the number of wires that such a simple piece of kit had. Looked like hundreds of white wires into four different connecter blocks.....what are they all for?
    Watched your beautifully made video and it all became crystal clear.
    Made the impossible EASY!
    Many many thanks.

    Good morning sir. Just wanted to say thank you for the information you have provided here. Am currently attempting to install an aftermarket single DIN stereo unit in my car and I entered the project not knowing a single thing about wiring. Am entering day 2 here because I ran out of sunlight. I do not have the adapter harness for my year range so I decided to direct wire the unit to the factory connections, and BOY is this job a headache. I mapped out which wire goes to what thanks to some wiring diagrams I found on RUclips and thanks to your video I think I have obtained the knowledge to finish wiring everything to the new stereo. Hopefully I will complete this by today so I can enjoy music once again and also hoping that nothing was done incorrectly. I appreciate your work here. Thanks.

    @josephpeto1891 3 года назад

    My install turned out to be easier than I thought since the old radio had a chart on it detailing what every wire was and all I had to do is match to the new radio wiring. I used heat shrink connectors which have a small metal collar in the center that is squeezed and results in a smaller bundle of wires rather than the white crimp cap type. From Amazon also the Kenwood radio caught it on Black Friday sale. Yea! Thanks to this video for heading me in the right direction.

    This really is a top notch explanation of what each wire is and will still be valuable even when using a harness just to know how things function.

If so, please reconsider making one with the same level of detail and explanation you did with this one. Thanks in advance.

    If you do not own a light tester like he uses to find the constant 12v, and accessory 12v then you can use a volt meter on continuity function and it will make a sound when it completes a circuit. Just connect the red (+) of the voltmeter to the wire, and the black (-) probe to a ground like he did in the video.

There was a rat's nest of an old harness, eleventy million inline fuses, and several t- connectors that seemed to go in circles. I cut all of it out and followed these instructions to the letter and the new radio was up and running as soon as I turned it on. Hooray!

    Hello. Thanks for this video, it is very good! I followed all steps but I'm not getting any sound on m speakers. I tested the wires using a 9v battery as you showed but nothing happens. The installation is on a western star truck model 4964 year 2006. Do you have any idea of what could be happening? There's no color coding on the wires and the Sony unit I'm installing is working fine! Thanks.

      Sounds like you may have a factory amplifier in your car.. What is the year make a model? If you have a factory amp you will need to bypass it or still use it but sometimes you have to have a special interface to make it work or really understand some advanced electrical stuff to make it work..

    I've installed a car stereo here and there back when I was a teen (80's), and this was by far one of the best instructions for doing it yourself - even down to the polarity of the speakers. Many do not know that part and will install great sounding speakers that sound terrible after installed from simply + added to - accidentally.
    I have a 1986 Nissan Maxima with factory stereo and speakers still installed. Nothing modern - even the tape deck. The left speakers go in and out (usually over bumps). After being on the plantation (work) all day, I don't always have the time or energy to do it myself, so I'd like anyone's advice on where to start 1st to save me time. Door / rear left speaker or straight to the stereo itself? From limited and old experience, my instinct says check the stereo - since the right side shows no sign of fade....only the left. Thanks in advance to any suggestions.

    • @nyizzle4533
      @nyizzle4533 2 года назад +1

      2 yrs later but I always start with fuses, easiest cheapest thing to check and can save you so much time and money in needless repairs. Then i'd check the deck and then the speakers and last most labour intensive the system wiring. Sometimes animals get in and chew stuff up. You'd be surprised the spaces mice and snakes get into.

    Not a bad video... but to make life easier then this, so the price you will pay for crimper and wire crimps you could just buy a Year/Brand match SCOSCHE install Adapter for $5.99 at Walmart lol ... unless you have Crimping gear kicking around... I personally wouldn't do a Crimp install unless absolutely necessary... in saying that, this guy did do a great job, very clean looking... but... is he just going to leave that big hole?? Scosche also sells Dash Kits, cost about $15.99 at Walmart... it covers up the Hole and Voids that your aftermarket deck may not fill, like this guy... his deck does not fill the factory deck location, as seen in the video... food for thought.

    • @Impact009
      @Impact009 5 лет назад +2

      Some adapters still require crimping. The whole point is that if we cared about looks in the first place, then we would have paid for it at the dealership. Most of automotive DIYers spend our money on functionality, not aesthetics.

Then I forgot which wires were which, and blew the fuses several times by trial and complete error. Thanks.
