well search sucks, i tried and tried but could find anything.

basically i have a sony headunit i want to put into a 92-95 civic, unfortunatly the vehicle radio harness was cut so all i have is a bunch of wires, i went to installdr.com, followed their directions for a "typical" new radio harness and nothing, i know what the wires in the civic are for, but i do not know which wires go to what on the sony harness.

i'm not sure if its the car thats messed up or not, i am able to put in a CD and take it out, but the screen does not light up at all, and the typical warning shut off beeps aalso activate.

anyone have experience in this???

 

i had almost the same problem i also got a 95 civic and my harnes is also caut it was a bitch if the sony harnes does not got the collors as install dr had the read the manual i also found an extra wire it was on the car harness it was red with black stripe my head unit wouldnt power on fully without it i conected the power antena wire to it and it worked for some reason ans dont forget to ground both the the car harness and the head unit as well i forgot the head unit and didnt get sound but other than that mines working fine i just finished up 3 days ago and so far no problems good luck let us know if if you get it working

 

hmmmm which color was the power antenna? i saw that red with black stripe wire and was wondering what it connected to, and with the grounds, did you tie them together or did you have to find another ground behind the radio? imma try this out tomorrow and hope for the best, hardwiring is a bitch, but thanks for your reply, my head is about to explode over this

 

i didnt twist them together i screwd them on a metal part of the car in the wire area the red with black stripe im not sure what it is it mite be the remote wire i just put the power antena wire there insted lol in tour manual for the head unit it should tell yout witch wire is wut on the stereo harness that came with ur sony to bad you didnt live by me id just do it for you ha ha

can you take a pick of how you got it spliced and the wires so i can see how you did it dont give up you know you can always lay your own wire and not use the stock harness rite
