Hi guys, i have just taken the stndard headunit out of my 93 ltd, (the one with the 6 disk stacker) so im geussing its the same as a 93 fairlane? what i need to know is what colour wires mean what, the wires in the loom in the din slot are all random colour codes, the wires on the back of the headunit are all real colours, what im going to do is just chop the plug off the headunit and wire my new stereo into that (so i can plug it into the din loom plug) i need to know what these colours represent as they are in different slots in the plug, i have a red,yellow,blue,black, 2 green, 2 pink 2 white and 2 grey. also how do i go about installing the cd changer into my new stereo as the plugs are those crazy 8 pin plug things and the new headunit has rca's.

Any help would be great,

Cheers,
mason

they are the same

What i mean sorry is what colour wires mean what? the headunit going is a sony headunit, the one coming out is the standard ltd/fairlane one. cheers

Hey mate, if your using only the standard speakers (ie: no subs or amps) then you won't have to use the RCA's.

This has the wiring colours for you to use.

As a general break down, you will be using the following:
<ul>
constant power (which is +12V when the car is off to save memory)
+12V IGN (provides power to the unit when the ignition is on)
Battery ground (Provides your power return path)
And then a positive/negative pair for each speaker (so 8 in total)
</ul>

Also, disconnect the battery before doing this so you don't accidentally short any wires and blow a fuse.

Awesome, cheers, i had all the fancy s**t in the old EB but im just going to use the headunit in the ltd for now, get some better stuff later, so im just wondering if its possible to attach the stacker somehow?

Thanks for the link mate, loads of help

What brand of head unit are you fitting? Alpine?

Sony, its a nice one, but i just wanted the ease of pluggin' stuff in lol. ive wired everything up, just got put it all in now, too dark to see though

When ive recoverd from the expense of buying the thing ill prob be putting in some alpine speakers and a pioneer headunit.

Selling my old EB Ghia if anyone is in nz??

Bugga, have wired up everything according to that wiring list, nothing works, only thing that semi works is the aerial, it goes up but i it goes up when i just plug the loom in. nothing else turns on what s evr, help!
