thx 2forme - by vents and the metal frame, do u mean the air vents for driver and passenger? if so isnt there the soft plastic dash which covers those vents? i cant see a metal frame that you refer to.
In the dash where the head unit goes (under the center vents), there is a metal frame that essentially frames where the head unit sits. I stuck it on top of that.
Also, i got the unit today thanks to your advice
So I am wiring it up, although I'm not sure what to do with the following wires from the head unit:
p.cntr (amplifier signal input) wire
- This goes to an amp signal wire if you have one.
p.ant (auto radio antenna) wire
- This goes to the antenna power wire on the antenna adapter you bought.
I've hooked the rest of them as appropriate into the metra wiring harness, and the only wires that I haven't connected from the metra harness (and I'm not sure what to do with) are :
power antenna wire
- See above
amp turn on wire
- See above
amp ground wire
- Ground
dimmer wire
- Orange with white stripe on the metra
phone mute wire
- Unused
I also purchased the 40-LX11 antenna adapter. I assume the Headunit p.ant wire links to the blue wire of the 40-lx11 antenna adapter, leaving the metra harness power antenna wire unused?
Yes
your advice as always would be much appreciated, and sorry if it was heaps to read >< !
