hey just in the middle of installing a pioneer, but i dont trust my judgement lol if someone could text me or pm me i can send pics. Id appreciate some help please thanks! 321.289.9758

 

what do you need help with exactly?

 

illumination, and dimmer wires... seems the pioneer doesn't have any but te metra has both. also do I tie in both the grounds then connect to chassis?

 

My Alpine was the same way, the harness provides a few wires that some decks dont utilize. I think I pulled those wires out of mine because they were unused.
I dont remember there being two grounds, but its been a while since I have been in there. Sorry I couldnt be more help

 

ok so i have everything connected, i just left the oranges out, theres a black wire from the metra and a black wire from the pioneer harness. also i have both the blue wires out for the remote and power antenna. do i wrap both the black wires together then connect to metal?

 

got it installed, thanks everyone for your help!

 

Glad you got it done. There is a guide on here for installing a new HU that would have been of great help to you.

as far as repositioning the ipod cable, the input would have to on the back side of the headunit. I bought the pioneer deh-x5500hd, and the usb is in the front

 

Oh btw thanks reckon, that diy would have helped alot.lol

 

hey man im having the same issue with my pioneer head unit. i did exactly what you did with the blue and orange wires but it still wont come on. i have the two black wires connected together though. im thinking that could be the reason the HU isn't responding. how do you have them arranged? thanks in advance
