the idiot that i bought my accord from thought it would be "cool" to chop up all the wires that connect to the radio, and twist-tie everything . can anyone tell me which colors go where and how they correspond to the wireharness

if you don't understand my question then pm me and i'll try to explain better

thanks
i just decided to get a new reciever and circut city said they'd install it for free

 

I worked there for over 3 years. Ask them to backstrap the radio.

 

backstrap....can you tell me what that is?

 

To save time they don't usually put these in, but it's those little metal straps with holes in em that come w/ stereos. To do it correctly, it should be screwed to the back of the radio, and then attached to something behind the radio. This supports the back of the radio, keeps the kit from breaking, and also makes it harder to steal. They will know what you mean if you ask them to backstrap it.

 

well i just got back from circuit city and i just didn't like the ones i saw there. so i'm buying one off this guy......a sony xplod CDX-CA650X. getting a pretty good price considering the condition. but now theres a new problem....i need to know how to hardwire the system. if someone knows and has time please let me know how to hardwire....or direct me to a site that shows you. thanks a lot

 

can i do the backstrap from home too?

and yes, you can backstrap it at home, it helps to have adrill/driver and self tapping screw.
