pioneer head unit installation help?

[Maccasmack]

hey guys,
was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of an installation guide.
i got a DEH-5250SD today, never done this before tho. so help would be great haha
cheers

Didn't it come with install instructions? Pretty sure it's buried in the middle of the operation manual for those.

For wire colours in the car loom:
VK-VZ Stereo wiring colours.

Or you can probably buy a Aerpro loom (from Autobarn) to connect from the Pioneer to the Holden loom.

Not sure on dismantling the dash but I'm sure there's a thread somewhere with instructions.

Pay a professional to do it for you.

Sure, fitting a head unit is pretty straight forward if you know what your doing, and are fairly familiar with the layout of the dash and it's dissmantle.

But you have a decent unit there, and quite a nice ride. You obviously have alteast a bit of money, so i don't reccomend running the risk of butchering something just to save a few dollars.

Just take note that quite often the Aerepro wiring harness adapter's have a wire or two around the wrong way. I've never used one before so i couldn't tell you exactly which wires they are likely to be. Maybe someone who's familiar with them can give you the right answer. (Pretty sure HoldenBoy knows a bit about them) Could save you a bit of time and confusen come time for the installation.

Nope, never used a harness adapter in my life.

Hmmm, my memory serves my wrong well hopefully the person with the answer will reply)

Mine was around the right way... VT/VX Aerpro loom.

[Maccasmack]

the aerpro loom. worked great thanks guys

[hakhawk]

yep vt/x looms are the right way around. its the ISO loom for vy/z that are switched power and acc.
