It doesn't take as many wires as you think, and they just add additional circuits to the clockspring. The clockspring was introduced with drivers side airbags to maintain a continuous electrical connection for the airbag while allowing the steering wheel to turn. The manufacture simply added a few additional circuits to accommodate steering wheel controls. ...

What you need is an FM modulator -- a device that you install between your car antenna and the stereo. A device like this (I'm not recommending this particular device, just using it as an example): http://www.amazon.com/Scosche-Audio-FM-Modulator-Universal/dp/B0007THIDQ Then you can plug your MP3 player into the modulator and the signal travels straight ...

http://www.wedophones.com/Manuals/Nissan/2003-Nissan-Xterra.pdf That should help ;) Not sure where you can find a universal wiring kit though. The aftermarket headunit should have a small diagram on it as well.

The yellow wire needs to be connected to +12 volts all the time (even with the car off), it sounds like you have this wire connected to switch power. This is the memory wire for the radio that allows it to retain settings when the car is off. I may be wrong on the color of the wire, I was basing my information on the manual provided by Phillips here (PDF ...

You get specific Subaru radios, which are the simplest to fit, however I have always used aftermarket stereos in my Subarus, and the only work you need to do is tweak the wiring harness. The wires you get are generally the same for most cars (if we exclude specific models which display engine, mileage and other data through the stereo front panel) but the ...

Most, if not all, new radios come with an ISO standard connection on the back. Quite a lot of modern cars also have ISO connections - if this is the case with yours, it is an easy 5-minute job: Remove old radio - often the hardest bit! Fit the cage that comes with the new one, bending the triangular tabs out slightly to secure it. Plug in the new radio to ...

Check Crutchfield.com, you can put in your make model and see many radios that will fit. This is the what the search turned up when I put in your car info. It looks like you have a standard DIN radio, so any standard DIN radio will fit without an adapter kit. You will need a special tool like the one pictured below to remove the radio. Here is an example ...

There are almost certainly two different power lines available to, and likely to be needed by, the radio: Always on. Ignition. The "always on" line always has power available on it. This is what would ensure that the settings in the radio stay on when the car is off. If you have connected two power leads to the radio, you may have reversed them. If ...

There is almost certainly a genuine OE option available that you could purchase from a dealer and probably get them to fit as well. This would be worth looking into just so you know how much it would cost, it may not be super expensive, but my gut feel says it will be reasonably costly. Or there are aftermarket options available. www.crutchfield.com has a ...

If you have the right harness (the bunch of wires) for your car this can be really straightforward. The stock stereo is set up to plug straight into the wiring, but as all stereos are different the harness basically acts as an adapter. You should have labels, or an instruction diagram showing which wires need to connect to what. Crutchfield provide a vast ...

While certain cars have specific dash units that include things like heater controls and such (Ford Taurus ovals come to mind), by far the standard has been set to 'Single DIN' (a majority of cars/CD players) and 'Dual DIN' (the size of two normal rectangle sizes stacked on each other, almost squarish compared to the rectangle of a Single DIN). If it's at ...

Here's some notes before we get started to help you see the differences in option packages. Audi A5 The Base does not come standard with iPod or Bluetooth connectivity, but those are easy enough to add as standalone options. The absence of a USB port is much more troubling (to me at least). Instead of spending more money on inter-grading a USB port into ...

I would say that as it is saving the other settings that it is getting a constant live from the battery. And assuming that no on has messed around with the wiring all SHOULD be well. However it's clearly not so i would guess that this is an internal issue and only reoslution would be a replacement unit. However, in some cases where the wiring has been ...

The colours Larry listed are the ISO standard ones, which it seems Peugeot don't follow. The permanent live should be pin 7, which is the thick blue wire in your photo. The thin blue wire in pin 4 should be live when the ignition is on. Pin 8 (yellow & green) should be ground, and pin 5 (white) should power the electic aerial. The others are ignored in ...

Have you tried making sure that, for all your speakers in the car, the wire that hooks into the back of them could be loose and could be wiggling around when driving and causing it to go from bad to good connection which would cause the problem you're having. I had this same exact problem in my Honda Civic Also, have you made sure that all your speakers are ...

Whereabouts on the car is the radio aerial located? I would suspect you have a crossed wire between the two, especially if the aerial is at the back of the roof or near the rear window (in which case the wire from that and the wire to the heater would be likely to follow the same path). Unfortunately, it is probably a case of taking off the appropriate ...

The white faceplate should pull straight off. Pull gently, most of them have clips that hold them in, be careful there may be some screws in the bottom near the cigarette lighter. After that there should be some screws visible to the right and left of the radio, removing those will let you slide it out. As for testing find the wiring diagram for the radio ...

To remove the radio you should just be able to unscrew the faceplate holding it in and then unplug the electrical connectors from the back of it as you pull it out. However if you need to follow the cables you may need to remove the dash itself, so a quick guide on how to do that: Remove the glove compartment by removing the screws under and inside the ...

I have used several of the products from Dension including the Gateway 300, Five and Blue. For your car they list the Gateway 500. This device is around $450, plus another $150 if you want to do bluetooth. The ipod cable tends to be extra as well, though I don't remember how much. Note that there are some caveats for your car, see their compatibility ...

If it is anything like the Sony radio I have, it it held in by a pair of sprung clips, one either side of the radio. It then comes with a set of removal tools consisting of a pair of flat blades (although you could use any suitable thin, stiff flat object such as a metal ruler). To remove it you slide these blades down the sides of the radio, and apply an ...

Not know what your center console looks like, you likely need to remove the trim around the radio. Trim is normally popped in with clips, and can be removed easily in most cases. The radio can be held in with either clips, or screws. Added: How to remove a Daewoo Lanos car stereo - (Most Models)

I ended up finding manuals here: http://sm.gpona.com:9001/si/home.do Select the Acadia and then drill down through: Service Manual > Driver Information & Entertainment > Cellular, Entertainment, Navigation > Repair Instructions > Digital Radio Receiver Replacement.

Many recent cars and stereos use a standard ISO wiring connector. If the 2003 stereo has done so, you should be able to fit it into the earlier car quite easily. If it is a custom Honda connector then it depends on whether they have changed the design between the cars - I wouldn't have thought they would do however. You say the radios "did not always occur ...

Try browsing Crutchfield’s catalogue of car stereos. You might be able to infer an answer from their information on which stereos fit which cars. However, even if the dashboard spaces are the same, the wiring may be different. You might need an adaptor to connect the newer stereo to the older car's plug. Crutchfield or a stereo shop might be able to help you ...
