Just got a pioneer cd player. Im pretty glad since when I bought the car it had no radio or anything and now I can listen to my cd's Since there was no radio the previos owner must have hacked it out. Now there is just a big wiring mess with no factory harness.
I pretty much have figured out which wires go where except for one. The one I am trying to figure out is the 12 Volt battery wire. These two are stuck together and there colors are orange&orange/brown. Do I just go ahead and wire the pioneer yellow wire to the orange one? What do I do with the orange/brown one?

 

If you have a multimeter just test the wires, I belive the orange is the 12v but test both wires, and also while testing each turn the headlights on to make sure they are not the illumination wires, you will know if the reading of the power to that wire changes at all when you turn the lights on/off.

 

I am pretty sure that the plain orange is the illumination wire, which you don't need to hook up. I think the power wire that only workd when the car is on is red, not sure about the constant 12V wire though.

 

Hey,

Ill get you a wiring diagram on Monday when I get to work. Hopefully it will help you out!

 

use the orange wire, the brown wire is for delco radios only.
