I've done a search and can't find what I need. I had a pioneer HU that the owner before me used, and I already disconnected the harness. I've been trying to figure out what should match up to what and decided that this will be trial and error before I get it right.

Is there anywhere that it states what car wire (color) matches up to which alpine wire??

alpine 9856; there is an amp from previous owner; no DCI (later); just want a quick (ha) install! Thanks in advance!

 

i believe there is...correct me if im wrong but when i did my gf's HU she had kenwood b4 and i put in panasonic and it worked fine. all you ahve to do is just match up the colors and if you don't see colors you have leave them and tape them up with elec tape. pm me if any questions

 

I was assuming that the colors didn't exactly match up, because the pioneer harness had a red wire going to the blue/white and orange/white going to red and so on and so forth. I'll give it a shot.

 

I am guessing the Alpine harness is different. If you get the one from modifry, it will make things easier. But yeah, the harness should match all the colors.

 

Well, like I thought, I've matched all the ones from the harness to car wiring by color and I have nothing. I went ahead and tried the solid yellow (alpine) to the yellow/stripe (honda) to get power, but I have nothing. I'm such a noob.

 

Does this help?

 

I'll give it a shot. I called my local dealership to see if i could get a hold of a stock wiring harness, but they said they didn't have any.

 

Here you go.

I would use a 9v batter to check the speakers to make sure that they pop on the correct side.


WIRE COLOR
Battery WHITE/BLUE
Accesory WHITE/RED
Ground BLACK
Dimmer RED/BLACK
Power Antenna YELLOW/GREEN
LF Speaker (+) GREEN/YELLOW
LF Speaker (-) GRAY/RED
RF Speaker (+) GREEN/BLACK
RF Speaker (-) LIGHT GREEN

 

Here's what i got:

alpine yellow to honda blue/white for battery lead
alpine orange to honda red/black for illumination/dimmer? is that wrong?
alpine red to honda white/red for accesory/switched power lead? dunno there either.
alpine blue to honda yellow/green for power antenna

 

Alright, I'm losing my mind on something that should be simple. I don't know where the battery lead goes, assuming white/blue for constant power. Alpine red goes to white/red for ACC. Is "Illumination" on alpine harness needed??? WTF is "dimmer", because the alpine has nothing on that either. Thanks again. If I could get a hold of a stock harness I would.
