M35 Radio Replacement - Wiring Colour Codes.

[WAGON_BOY]

Hey Peeps

Thought I would do a write up as it seems there isn't one anywhere else and the 350Z or G35/V35 isn't the same..........

these colour codes were taken from a double din radio - non bose type.

12V Constant - Yellow/Pink.

12V Switched (Ignition) - Light Green/Pink.

Ground - Red/Blue.

Head Light Signal / Dimmer - Green/White.

Front Left Speaker: White & Black. (do not know polarity)

Front Right Speaker: Red & Green. (do not know polarity)

Rear Left Speaker: Yellow & Brown. (do not know polarity)

Rear Right Speaker: Pink & Blue. (do not know polarity)

There were 5 colours left over but I did not bother finding out what they were.

Cheers, Theo.

Very nice work. How did your replacement stereo fit in the slot? I did mine on the weekend, and I'm not 100% satisfied with the fit, but was in a rush at the time. Now ceebs taking everything apart again.

If you're lazy (like me) and can't solder for shit, I bought this ISO and it works well.

it didn't sit in that flush either but cant do much about it with the counter sunk screw's.

I don't have a problem with soldering (I'm an electrician by trade) I'd rather know its right and have a good joint, not like these auto electricians who twist it together and tape it LOL

here's a photo.......

DONT NOT GROUND THE RED/BLUE WIRE!!!! it is actually the cabin lights/parkers/tail lights!!!

I think I've blown the BCM by doing so!!! FFS

Hey guys just to add to this, when I wired my speakers to an amp, the wires with a trace are negative and the solid coloured wire twisted with it is the positive one.

is this not common knowledge.

[Brick]

is this not common knowledge.

In electronics line generally means positive.

[DaveM35]

I'm just adding info to the post josh, as Theo noted in the first part that he did not know the polarity. So I guess you could say it's not common knowledge, or he's not a commoner, or he was taking the piss and I fell right into it.

[DaveM35]

In electronics line generally means positive.

^ The Focals I wired in use clear speaker cable and the one with red trace (line) is used as positive, which is opposite to the standard wiring setup so yeah...like Brick said. Every manufacturer makes their own rules

[WAGON_BOY]

but all the speaker wiring is solid colours and I cbf pulling the doors apart to see what was what!!!

[scotty nm35]

I have the V35 sedan wiring diagram open at the moment, what do you want to know?

[WAGON_BOY]

Scott can you paste a picture of all the head unit wires???

the Green/White wire and also the Red/Blue wire would be a start though.

need to figure out why my interior lights, parkers and tail lights aren't working........ I've replaced the BCM and still nothing

[scotty nm35]

Its in PDF format, how would I go about that? There are a few pages of diagrams...

[WAGON_BOY]

just print screen, then paste it in paint and save it as a photo.

[Commsman]

See if any of this helps. It seems the pages after the ones I've printed are predominately about the navi operation & repair.

What I normally do is find what I think I need in the English G35 version & then try to find the equivalent section in the Japanese M35 manual (translating where necessary). If there happens to be any changes to wiring terminals/colours etc, you may be able to catch it before cutting the wrong wire.

Good luck & let me know if you need more.

Cheers, Leon.

[WAGON_BOY]

Here's what I've made out..........

but I still need to know the illumination circuit to see what's gone wrong.

[WAGON_BOY]

would be interesting to get this translated as the plugs are view from the opposite side and numbered differently.....

[Commsman]

Have you tried copying the text from the PDF & using an online translator?

[WAGON_BOY]

I found this wiring diagram index I should be able to find what I need here

don't worry, fuse you need is third on left row in the vertical fuse box near the battery, you have to remove the plastic shield in the bottom of the glass to access it!

it is called "tail ***", if i'm wrong on placement. surely you will find the reason in this box
