R31 stereo help

[benno22]

hi,

i still have a stock r31 head deck, i think its teh philips one, anyways, cus of money shortages my mate gave me his holden vs commodore stock head deck to put in, cus my skyline one is shot... when installing it the connector plugs are different types and i cant connect it, is there anywhere where i might be able to get an adaptor for this plug so they connect?

its a big white thing with multiple colour cables coming out of it, but u probally knew that anyway!

you have to cut the wires off the skyline plug and connect them to the holden plug. You will have to figure out which wire goes where because it is not exactly colour for colour. You need to figure out which wire is positve, which one is ignition and which one is ground, and basically which wires connect to the speakers.

Also get some fuses aswell because you will probably blow some up in the process.

On my friends R31, I ended up unpluging the unit and starting from fresh with all the wires. All I needed was 1 pos wire 1 earth 1 wire from fuse box that works from ignition and 4 wires for the speakers. You find that it will end up being faster and you don't have to worry about connecting a wire wrong and blowing the unit or fuse.

That's my 2 cents.
