Re: Question... Alpine CDA-9805

You have to go to the store and pick up a wire harness for your car. Then you have to splice the wires on the new harness to the harness that came with the deck. This way it will be plug and play. DO NOT CUT THE WIRES THAT ARE IN THE CAR ON THE STOCK HARNESS!! This is a pain and will make the install very difficult as the colored wires do not match.

There might be a few extra wires that came on the store bought harness that you will have to tape off and leave aside. (They will most likely be named illum. or whatever).

Hope this helps, good luck.

Re: Question... Alpine CDA-9805

Re: Question... Alpine CDA-9805

Go to your local automotive store that sells car audio... even Future shop or best buy. Tell them what year and model your car is and they should be able to get it for ya right away.

Even better, call before you go and make sure they have it in stock. Save yourself a trip!

Re: Question... Alpine CDA-9805

go to best buy or some audio store and just ask the guy to get you a harness for your car then take the plug that came with the radio and match up colors with your new harness

Re: Question... Alpine CDA-9805

usually the bright orange wire is illumination. plus the harness you buy will have it written on the wire

Re: Question... Alpine CDA-9805

you can get a wire which hooks up to the cd changer output to the ipod if your headunit has that capability or get an fm transmitter which wont sound as good.

Re: Question... Alpine CDA-9805

FM transmitter is okay but the quality is crap... Alpine sells high speed USB cables for most of their decks that will be a direct hookup for an ipod. If that does not work you can always get an AUX cable. Its basically a cable that has a headphone male on one end and your red and white RCA cables on the other end. It hooks up to the back of your deck and you control through the ipod what you listen to. (not the safest method)

P.S. Whenever you get helped by someone don't forget to rep them. That is by clicking on the little scale lookin' thingy below their name.
