Hello everyone,
Looking for info on the stereo speaker wiring colours for 2013 VF SSV Sportwagon, can't find anything anywhere on the net or youtube that actually tells you the colours without pulling either the dash apart(not going in there) or pulling the door trims off again.

Thanks,
They are the right colours, but now I have a bigger problem.
Hooked up the wiring as per instructions that came with amp, asked questions at the holden dealer here in town, nothing got said about disconnecting the plugs from the back of the unit before hooking up amp to power only that the power and remote power wire must be connected last.
Ok, so now I have a fried radio unit, so off to the dealer to get a price on a new one($1600.00), next I ring a VE-VF wrecker in Sydney get onto a secondhand one($550.00) with screen (separate units) gets it home, get spanner pusher to fit it up(YAY all lights up) reverse camera works, but its now locked.
Make a phone call to dealer to unlock it, no can't do that because you have to buy a NEW UNIT because they are coded to the computer system in that car, so what they are saying is that if your radio unit shorts out you HAVE to buy a new one because you can't just go and buy another one from a wrecker and put in and apparently it doesn't matter if you have the 4 digit code for the replacement unit you've just bought or not.
ANYONE KNOW OFF ANYWAY AROUND THIS PROBLEM???????
By the way the dealership here in town never told me you cannot just swap radio units from one VF SSV to another. :mad:

Without knowing how you hooked everything up it's impossible to determine what happened. I've never heard of a head unit failing due to installing an amplifier.

As for the replacement unit, it just needs to be programmed to your VIN number which can be done at any dealership with a tech2 tool.
