Default SPECIAL Headunit Wiring!! HELP Experts!!! Thieves CUT Original Wiring... So cannot use Wiring Harnes

Hi,

I'm in a bad predicament.

I need to install my headunit (PIONEER DEH-p760mp)... My old mobile ES was stolen and the thieves JACKED the whole thing including the Original Wiring (Ripped it OUT!)

So I need to know how to wire the headunit manually... Sigh stupid thieves...

Also... how to repair a cracked radio bezel...

Use a test light to find HOT w/ key off (goes to yellow wire on deck); HOT w/ key on (goes to red wire on deck); GROUND goes to black wire on deck. Then just look behind the speakers to find the colors of the wires for the speaker connections. Not too hard should only take you a few mins. lmk if you need ne more help

All the colors in the right column are correct for a pioneer radio. Just go to autozone and get some crimp caps and a crimp tool, and hardwire it. For the cracked radio bezel, get some super glue, glue it as cleanly as possible then get spray paint or vinyl dye and cover the whole piece. Or get a new one at hondautomotiveparts.com

Honda makes replacement harnesses for this very reason. You're not bad off as you thought.

I've posted about this in the past, at least once already.

to find the dimmer use a test light and test the wire that is hot when the parking light is on. pretty simple, you dont really need the dimmer wire only if you want to dim your display at night, i like it bright myself.

If its just for your radio thats not hard. Just pop out where your speakers are then look at what colors they are. Then follow them where the harness would be and knock them out (move them to the side so you dont go over them again). Get a test light or a volt meter and test which are good wires for power. And remember black is 99.9% of the time ground, so move that out of the way. Hope that helps.

Holy **** great find :
