Help Installing Headunit

[Bo Bo]

hey ive just near finished installing my new avh-p8400bh into my r34 following the diagrams found on this forum in sticky for diagrams. now the problem i have is there is a orange-white wire from headunit marked lights. i assume this is connected to interal lights. the point i found to go 12v when lights are on is the H point which is marked dont connect. just wondering if this is correct point to connect to???

cheers

I believe the wire you are referring too is commonly called the "illumination" wire, it has to be connected to something that illuminates when the parkers/headlights come on. Its not necessary to use this wire, just gives the unit additional lighting properties.

But if anybody actually knows where this is ment to plug into on a r33 let me know!

Hint the wire shows ground when tested with Digital meter

And 12 v when you turn on the parking lights

Often confused as a ground until the lights come on then it floats the ground thru antenna jack

And blows a fuse or causes alternator whine

Rookie mistake on installs
