Please help me out i need to put an aftermarket head unit on my 2001 accord but dont know what what the colors from the car are because they are different than the aftermarket stereo's wire colors,thanks!
thanks for the help, but what i mainly need to know is what color is the power, acc and ground and other cables that privide power to the stereo.the stock hu doesnt say anything and the cables from the car are 3 thicker ones which are
1 black
1 white with green stripe
1 white with red stripe
and then the thinner ones are:
red with black stripe
solid red
solid blue
blue with yellow stripe
red with green stripe
red with white or yellow stripe(dont remember
and then what i believe to be the speaker wires which were a set of brown with white and black stripe and then a set or gray with white and black stripes.
The speakers are the least of my worries as i can do trial and error but the power ones i cant get, I dont know if there could be some type of catch like connecting to of the cars wires to 1 of the aftermarket head unit or somethin.
I tried connecting them to see if i would luckily get the colors right but nothing. the after market headunit has the common yellow red and black so i know those but these from the car i cant figure out.
buy a conversion harness from wal mart for 7 bucks. Everything is color coded and makes the install alot easier. Dont cut your stock wires. Makes a mess and looks like crap.
