does anyone have a definate list of what all the colors of wire from the radio harness are? because i have no connector, and just a mess of wires, and after searching, all i have been able to find is s13 wiring, and what the aftermarket wiring colors are. basically i need to know what 12v, 12v switched, and the radio antenna connector are.. others dont matter as im running new cable.

The colors are the same for all nissans, you should be able to go by the s13 diagram. If that doesnt help check this out.

I dont know how much you know about car audio, but the antenna connector is massive and un-missabe. You will need an antenna adapter for making a nissan antenna fit into an aftermarket head unit.

well my antenna is broken. so im thinking about running a s2000 antenna. or similar.

The S2K antenna isnt retractable, and I don't think its amplified, so you won't have to worry about the remote wire (unless I'm wrong and its amplified, in which case you can just run any 12v accessory to it). Just use the antenna wire thats already in the car but get the nissan adapter for the head unit.

well, i know the s2000 antenna isnt retractable, it is pretty sweet tho. anyways... i cant find the red/black wire... i found a red and blue (i think, im colorblind.) but that one didnt work for 12switched.

Damn, that must suck being colorblind and doing wiring. Do you have a test light or a multitester? You could just go down the line and test each wire.
I found the site that I used when installing the head unit in my S13

It says that the 12v accessory is blue. Sorry if all this is wrong for the S14, but you could try that.

cronux

lol, alright.. i dunno. well, i still ahve my connector head, so i guess i could resplice all of the wires back and use an aftermarket converter harness.

cronux

soo. i got it hooked up and turned on, but i have one more question.. how do you bypass the stock amps for the rear? i want the wires that are in my dash to go directly to the speakers.. what wires going into the amps and coming out of the amps do i need to splice?

cronux

never mind my last comment. i didnt search. when i did, i found a write up on it, and did it, so finally i have sound in my car woot! i can now block out the rattles hahah. well, now i just need to get some solder to put new speakers in. then my audio is done for now.

could you give the link to bypass the amplifier for the rear. i plan on getting rear speakers later and would like to know how to do it before i start. lawl i hate wiring and electricity. haha its magic to me, thats the only way i can understand it.

thats for an s14, so it might be alittle different, but not much. there is a blue wire and a limegreen wire with a line in it that you dont need, the blue is remote 12v, so if you want to have subwoofers eventually, you dont need to run a remote lead, just use one of the blue wires. its pretty straightforward, there are are 5 small and 5 large wires, and if you cout the 1 blue one and the limegreen with a line out, its 4small and 4 large for each amp. then you just cut the wires, and splice according to the chart. (this is if the colors are the same, i hope they are.
