9524tee Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Constant power is usually yellow, ground is usually black, Ignition is usually red, accessory power is sometimes orange, and speaker colors vary between companies, but are usually, purple, white, or gray, etc etc... I dont know exacts on the S2k unit but hopefully that will guide you in a better direction... Oh and accessory power sometimes is blue and white... Or the blue and white could also be power antennae... Peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 That's completely wrong. Stock head units don't follow that kind of color codes.....that's just for aftermarket's. His wires will be like - Brown w/ pink stripe, pink w/ brown stripe, white w/ blue stripe, blue w/ yellow stripe...etc.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First off... fawk you, and second off your correct, it doesnt change when your tired, but I was thinking of my aftermarket head unit in my Honda when I was typing that... So like I said I was tired and wasnt thinking right... I messed up, simple as that... Lame how nobody can cuss on this board... Oh no! Hide reality from everyone!

cranny Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 yellow isnt constant power in most cases either red is. yellow is acc. ignition red accessory orange? arent they the same? haha just messin with ya but you aint workin on my stereo hehe. a haynes manual might tell ya or chiltons . either that or ask dealer maybe. wouldnt suprise me if theres no difference in colors used for stereo on both those cars (s2k and lude).

CleanGSR Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Every aftermarket head unit I've installed (which is a lot) has had the constant as yellow and acc as red. Never seen one the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranny Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 maybe that different for us/canada as well wierd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9524tee Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Alot of head units are different, from different car manufacturers, to brands obviously, I guess the eaiest way would to be to, look it up, or call an authorised dealer for that certain product... Sorry I couldnt help... I guess I'm better with stereos when they are in front of me in person lol.. My installs have yet to fail me so far... I've been doing them for about 4 years now... Oh well...

His wires will be like - Brown w/ pink stripe, pink w/ brown stripe, white w/ blue stripe, blue w/ yellow stripe...etc.... Good Call. No, you just didn't know the answer. Don't amke excuses. Your knowledge doesn't change when you are tired. No wonder Sol Survivor and I h8 you! Are you always like this? I still can't figure out why you're always like this through this whole forum and people back you up with their seniority that's so superficial. n00b or not, doesn't mean you can piss on him like that and a n00b could be an experienced machanic. HungGSR had already knocked him on it, was your input like this ever neccessary? He also admitted that he doesn't know the S2K stereo that well, so Colbs21 shouldn't believe everything he read. Troll!!! Here's the real reason I posted, hope it helps Colbs21: Red/Blk = Fuse Yel/Grn = Antenna Amp Wht/Blu = Dash Fuse Box to Hood Fuse Box Wht/Red = Dash Fuse Box to Ignition Red = Dimmer/Dash Lights Blk = Ground (duh) Grn/Red = Driver Side Controls (nice if you had that prefab to your ride) Gry/Red = Left Tweeter & Speaker Grn/Ylw = Left Side too Lt Grn = Right Side Grn/Blk = Right Side Ylw/Blu = Mute for Driver Controls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SolLesHonda Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Ok, I was typing very quickly, which is why it is obviously a typo, not ignorance. And secondly, you misspelled "spelled" .. there is no T. Third off, stop running your mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoothap1 Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 i've been an installer for a good few years, most clean and simple way is just go to a stereo shop and tell them u need a male harness for ur radio, metra makes male versions of all their harness', the part number will be 71-1721 most likely, (71-XXXX the 71 indicates a male harness) is a blue plug, they usually are bout 12-15 bucks. and the wire colors are the industy standard, yello- batt constant red = switched black ground white front left + white/bl front left - gray front right + gray/bl front right - grn rear left + grn/bl rear left - purp rear right + purp/bl rear right - orange dimmer blue power ant good luck, maybe this will help man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attaus Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 I used to think SolLes was a jerk.. then I got to know him. People don't stand up for him because they like him or want to be cool, but they respect them. SolLes is, well, incredibly well-rehearsed in Honda tech, and.. we all value that. So.. I have to agree and say, stop running your mouth. Anyway, good luck with the swap colbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
