Woozle's Notes
Radio Wiring
There are several parts to the wiring, all of which (I think) normally plug directly into the back of the factory Nissan radio/cassette player.
- nonstandard block connector – #speaker outs
- nonstandard block connector – #power and control 1
- 2 small blue/white connectors on one cable (staggered) – #power and control 2
- 2 half-inch male DIN connectors – these are line-level audio to/from the EQ module
- 2-prong circular #antenna cable (nonstandard)
speaker outs
The Crutchfield adapter brings the connections out with these colors (stripes are black):
| white | |
| white + stripe | |
| grey | |
| grey + stripe | |
| green | |
| green + stripe |
power and control 1
| -1- | -2- | -4- | --- | --- | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -3- | --- | -5- | --- | --- |
| 1 | pink / red | ACCESSORIES POWER |
| 2 | red / white | HEADLIGHT indicator (dimmer) |
| 3 | black | GROUND |
| 4 | red / green stripe | BATTERY (always on) |
| 5 | green / white stripe / red dots | no idea |
power and control 2
I ended up cutting off one of these connectors and putting quick-disconnects on the wires.
Remaining blue connector (left to right, with latch on top):
- pink / red dots - no idea; not used
- red / white stripe - no idea; not used
Loose wires:
- yellow / red dots - attached to one quick disconnect (purpose to be re-figured out)
- orange / blue stripe / red dots - attached to one quick disconnect (purpose to be re-figured out)
antenna
Crutchfield's adapter kit for the Nissan includes an adapter for this cable. It's not a perfect solution, however.
EQ connectors
These cables come from the EQ module (probably optional). Unfortunately most car radios don't seem to have a pre-amp out/in (is that a high-end $ thing?), so I've had to abandon the EQ for now :-( but I did figure out what each of the pins were for. The connectors are male 1/2" DIN connectors; you can buy matching sockets from Digi-Key. Note to self: find part numbers.
