Talking

I replied on your original thread,, I cut and pasted here,,,,,,


There are a couple of things you can do,,

1) ask the seller on ebay if they have any info for you

2) look up the model # on the internet at clarion's website, maybe you're lucky and can find the manual in the support section

3) try to figure it out with some help

If you go with option 3 here's what I remember from my install days,,,,,,,

MOST modern radios from japan are wired this way

single wires
black--- ground
red --- switched +12v
yellow -- constant + 12v
orange (orange/white) -- something that gets +12 with the lights on
blue -- amp signal wire (+12 output)

speaker outputs
green green/black
grey grey/black
white white/black
purple purple/black

I forget exactly which colors are for which, like front left, front right, rear left, rear right. You gotta check it with your balance and fader.


If you still have a stock radio in your car, it's pretty easy to order a "fit kit" and wiring harness that will plug straight into your car. You can probably get it cheap online or if you're in a hurry you can go buy one at any place that installs car stereos, maybe even pepboys.


Good luck, and since it sounds like your new don't be offended if I suggest to you to disconnect your - battery terminal BEFORE you start, trust me on that one.

I live in 90031 too, neighbor.

see attachment for radio wiring for your car. It looks like you already had an aftermarket radio before and Rotary'14 is right on the colors for the aftermarket radio. Looks like it should be an easy install.

thanks for the helps, i got it to work by connectin the wires to the colors, just that the clearion wire has two extra left, a yellow and a brown, the yellow has a fuse on it that says 3a, the other yellow (being used) also has a fuse that says 15a, so whats the deal wit these? just makin sure, all i need now is to soildier them.
