You'll need to get a copy of the owners manual for that model.


I saw on ebay a while ago a plug that you plug into your factory plug, which then has the wires you need to join to the deck.

What wiring colours do you need info for?

If its the standard VP wiring:

Accesories - Yellow
Constant - Orange/White
Illumination - Brown/White
Earth - Black/White

Speakers
Front Left (+) - Tan
Front Left (-) - Grey
Front Right (+) - Light/Green
Front Right (-) - Dark/Green
Rear Left (+) - Brown/Black
Rear Left (-) - Yellow/Blue
Rear Right (+) - Blue/Orange
Rear Right (-) - Blue/Black


If its the Sonys' wiring:
Yellow - Constant 12v
Red - Accessories
Black - Earth
White / White w/black stripe - Front Left Speaker
Grey / Grey w/black stripe - Front Right Speaker
Green / Green w/black stripe - Rear Left Speaker
Purple / Purple w/black stripe - Rear Right Speaker
Blue w/white stripe - Power Antenna
Blue - Remote ouput for amplifier/s.

Hope this helps.

Howd you guys go about installing the actual head unit, in regards to mounting it?

[STEALTHY™]

I mounted mine to the factory mount. Anyone has the slide keys to get the deck out if they break in. If they want my deck, the bastards will be pulling the whole dash apart to get it.


The most difficult part is lining the and mounts correctly, otherwise your end up with a deck too far in, or sticking out too far. Both mine are perfect

On the stock mounting brackets at the front of the bracket there is 4 small holes i think, what i usually do is drill a single hole in the middle of these holes thats big enough to fit one of those screws you get with your head-unit. There should be a mounting hole in your new unit thats in the middle (height wise) and about 2cm back from the front. This is where you wanna screw the bracket to. Make sure to only use the screws that came with the unit. Anways see pic below of the stock bracket (rough, quick drawing)

There weren't any holes on my deck that lined up properly, so we had to redrill.
