Quick question on wiring a headunit

[Justin327]

Hello Guys,

I've done some searches on installing a new head unit and from what I've gathered the yellow and red wires on the harness vs the deck are reversed.

So am I correct in assuming that when I'm spliceing together the decks wiring harness to the Metra adapter harness I just connect yellow to red and vice versa? and then plug in the adapter into the harness that came out of my Becker unit?

Just want to make sure I didn't have a brain fart and misunderstand what I was reading. If it matter's it's a 2001 S, with door speakers, nothing crazy.

Thanks!

I've done that job, but I don't remember the details. Post #17 of this thread says not to switch the yellow and red. Take a look at this thread and the links it references. Your answer should be in one of them. If you cannot be sure, try hooking it up on a temporary basis and see what happens. If you do it wrong, it will probably be on all the time whether you have the key switched on or not.

Great, thanks Kevin, I'll check it out. I appreciate the reply.

I had to switch yellow and red when I installed a JVC BT head unit a couple years ago.
