R32 Headunit install

[Wojski]

Ok I got my car imported from Japan and it didnt have a stereo innit. So i took all the brackets off to check the wiring. Got myself a sony CDXM8805X headunit. Looked at the wiring in the R32 and didnt have a fucn clue which cable was which. I have like on big loom and 2 smaller ones. Anyone have any diagrams explaining which cable is which? need help please!

I can't remember the one in the r32 I did but you should be able to tell the power and accessories because it's usually a heavier weight than the speaker cables.

Once you figured those ones out just use a test light to see which one is which. (ie. if test light goes on with teh car off it's the power, turn your key to ON and if the test light goes on then but goes off when you take the key out then its the accessories).

When you have the headunit working then just plug in the speakers one at a time to see which one is which.

the loom has the colours most manufacturers use these days except for the speaker colour wires... so find a diagram on net... i cant remember which ones but mine was a pioneer and it was as easy as solder up the colours i had a diagram but cant find it

The attached pdf should explain everything.

I wouldn't recommend trying to hook up the rear amp, just rip it out and wire the speakers straight to the head unit (or external amp if you have one). All of the speakers are probably stuffed due to the age of the car so you might want to consider replacing them. If your replacing the speaker you may as well run new wiring too.

cheers,

Blue = front left +

black/white = front left -

brown = front right +

black/red =front right -

green = rear left +

black/yellow =rear left -

orange =rear right+

black/purple = rear right -

blue/white = accessories power

red/white = +12v batt

green/red= power antenna up/down

red/purple = Luminance

This is the wiring in an r33, im sure it would be very similar in the R32

I use it, and it worked perfect!

the above is correct.

unplug the amp ( circular box under the rear shelf) as its useless.

Hmm wow. I never even thought of looking up the colours from the net. Every car I just trial and error it everytime.

No wonder it takes so long heh.
