HEy whats up everyone i just purchased a cda9815 yesterday, to make a long story short. I have never installed a stereo, and my friend convinced me to cut off the stock harness. The stock harness is off now so this **** is pretty N**ga rigged now after i found out ur suppose to leave it on. Any way i just decided to connect the cut wires that connected to the stock harness and hook those up to the alpine harness directly. I plugged most of the wires in correctly from an online diagram. Just need to know which wires from the alpine harness mate with the stock harness colors:
Yellow/green wire = alpine?
Red/black wire = alpine?
White/blue wire = alpine?
Alpine harness colors plug into?:
Yellow= stock?
and the dimmer= stock ?
Thanks for reading and hopefully i get this in tonight!

 

help??

hmmm, http://www.the12volt.com look for wiring diagram tells u exactly what color is which..

 

thanks

 

hmm that websites kinda weird i logged on and everything and it still will not let me view it ."?

 

my advice. spend the $5 on the adapter harness for these reasons.
1.) much easier to work on as you jsut have a couple of plus with about 6" of wires. you can put them together sitting in the couch if you want.

2.) you can put your car back to stock if you want by simply unplugging the adapter and plugging the stock plug into the stock deck.

3.) you dont have to worry about what the wire colors are. the harness will have all teh wires labeled so its a lot harder to mess something up.


oooops....didn't read the part about already cutting it off. if you've got the room to do so i'd reattach the stock one.

 

thats what i was gonna do but i only got a couple left

My OEM wiring harness was all butchered up from a previous install. I cut what was left of the OEM harness and wired the Alpine harness directly to it. (I have a CDA-9813) Depending on what you're running you may have to hook it up differently. Since the 9815 has the built in amp, you're supposed to hook it up straight to the battery (just like an amp) I didn't hook mine up that way because I have a 5 channel amp that everything's running through. I spoke to Alpine customer service and they said that's fine, so technically, I'm making use of the built in amp.
