How do I wire this deck? (diagram included)

[PollyCranopolis 10+ year member]

Putting my Premier 880 PRS in my 2003 Civic EX, 4dr 5spd.

Here is a diagram of the wires coming from the wiring harness, and the wires from the back of the deck. Any suggestions on how to hook all this up? What goes to what? Some are obvious, but I'm not sure about a few.

The wire names and colors for Acc, memory, power antenna, etc. Do not match from the deck to the harness. Some colors are diffrent also. Just look at the diagram.

power antenna goes to remote i can tell you that.

I have a factory wiring harness for the civic already. It came free with the dash mounting kit. It fits the old harness perfect as far as the plug goes.

You think I should go get another aftermarket harness? You think it will honestly be any diffrent?

Well then , color to color , solder the connections . Wrap in heat shrink or electrical tape . //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

red to red

yellow to yellow

black to black

orange to orange and white stripe

Blue to blue and white

tape off the wires your car doesn't use //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

The colors dont match the wire function.

Should I plug both the yellow power and red acc from the deck to the red power wire from the harness?

SO your saying I should run the fused power wire from the deck and the yellow/black mute wire from the deck to the yellow "memory" wire from the harness, as the colors for the wires match?

Yes they do

memory( yellow) is constant 12v

acc ( red ) is switched //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

the red wires and the yellow wires need to stay seperate. the red wire turns on the HU, the yellow one will be on all the time to keep the memory (radio presets, bass and treble settings) the mute wire is not used in this setup, so u can just tape it off.
