have '03 touring and i hate hate hate the stock head unit, but can only afford ot change the head right now. Is this going to be a problem? will it run fine with the stock amp and such?

 

When I changed my head unit the only thing that was different was the sound, and I upgraded to a 7 inch touch screen. I didn't have any type of voltage problems until I added the rest of the system, but even that turned out to be a bad amp. You should be just fine changing out the head unit first.

 

sweet, some idiot at the stereo store said something about he amp wont work because its this and that and you cant do this cause it will do that. didnt make sense to me. any trouble hooking yours up? did it sound better?

Mine i have noticed sounds great and just as it should with the ignition on, but with the car running sounds like ****.

 

I found a Metra harness kit that includes RCA connectors if you want to use the stock amp. I'm not sure how viable this is, but I'm gonna check with Metra.

 

Hi, I am new here. I am planning to change the head unit to Pioner AVH-P6050DVD. Can anyone of you help me in wiring? I found out there are 3 sockets and as follows:-

6-Pin Socket
Grey
Black/Yellow
Purple/Red
Pink
Light Green
Blue

8-Pin Socket
Yellow/Red
Light Green/Red
Blue/Red
Grey/Red
Grey
Blue
Pink
Grey

9-Pin Socket
Orange
White
Red
Green
Green/White
Grey
Pink/Black
Red/Black
Blue/White (Big wire)

Which wire represents the speaker wire (LL, LR, RL, RR)? Do I have to use RCA to connect to the stock amp or directly connect the new head unit high output to the respective wire in the socket?

Thanks.

 

I'm going to attempt installing a HU this week. I got the harness for the Bose system and it has RCA's already soldered on.
