Audio wiring - help!

Post by chakmool » Sat Mar 27, 2010 4:29 pm

Hi,

We sadly had our stereo stolen - rubbish stereo so a shame they had to smash the window to get it.

Anyway, we now have a replacement, and are struggling to get it wired in. With a bit of investigation we have identified the speaker wires but are left with the following :

thin black
thin blue
thin blue/red
thin red/black
thick black/red

I've had a look at the wiring diagram available on here, but was hoping someone may have a quick answer, to save me from having to decipher the japenese colour code key!

Any help hugely appreciated.

Thanks,
Jodi

Do you still have the 2 white multiplugs in the stereo hole - if so just use a mazda/iso connector block. Couple of £ on ebay or £14 in halfords.

Lets see;
  • thin black - Earth as well as the two Black/Red wires.
  • thin blue - Switched +12 volts from the Ignition switch from the Fuse Top Row, far Right 15 Amps
  • thin blue/red - Unswitched +12 volts from Fuse in the Top Row, far Left 10 Amps
  • thin red/black - Connects to the ISO A Plug Pin 6, its the Backlighting power connection when the Sidelights come on.
  • thick black/red - Earth there are three in total
I've also added a new Colour Code pop-up help page so it can sit over the top of the diagrams whilst you work out the colours ;-)
