[QUOTE="eiko, post: 7895315, member: 645185"] So I bought a car with an audio/video system(amp, capacitor, sub, TVs) and it was missing a head unit. And according to the seller, the car was wired for a headunit which in turn is causing the alternator to behave funky(cuts in and out)...and apparently 2 car audio shops told him that the issue is 100% from that. Now that sounded a bit far fetched to me, but I figured that worst case scenario I could just buy an alternator. But first I wanted to see if that's actually correct. So I bought this used Jensen dvd player...but I am a bit stuck. I took the cover off, and found all the wires, but I'm not 100% sure what goes where. Here is an album with photos from inside the car and photos from the headunit. I labeled all the wires to make it easier for you to tell me what goes where. imgur.com/a/zsAJh I seem to have a lot more wires going from the unit than I have from the car. So what goes where? I figured out some, but a few I have no idea. Clip 1 - gray - I figure this matches the single gray clip on the unit Clip 2- Black - I figure this matches the black clip on the unit Red 1 - since it's a black wire, I figure this matches the red with the black wire White 1 - since it's a black wire, I figure this matches the white with the black wire Red plug - No idea where this goes Red 2 - No idea, but it's linked with the big black wire that has a bunch of yellows Red 3 - No idea Black 1 - has a bunch of yellows linked, so I figure this is a video out going to all the TVs Black 2 - I think this is the reverse camera cable Monster - I figure this is the sub But that leaves a whole lot of wires going from the unit. Do those need to be connected? If I could get some help, I'd greatly appreciate it [/QUOTE]
