Head Unit / Stereo / Deck Installation / Install (SOLDERING Connections) | AnthonyJ350
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Getting better sound and functionality starts with changing your head unit. You'll see step by step what's involved in a car stereo install / wiring up and installing an after market head unit into a vehicle. You'll want to note that this is a deck install in its simplest form. Vehicle with factory amplifiers or complex dis-assembly can create a larger challenge. If you're still unsure how to do it, it might not be a bad idea to have your local professional do it for you.

Alright, got another question. So I'm running an Alpine single din in where the cassette player is, but I want the factory head unit still there. I want the factory unit to still have 12v and accessory power, so I can see the clock when i turn the truck on. How can I mod the wiring harness to get to the Alpine, but still have accessory power and ground going to the factory head unit?
What two harnesses do you wire together? It's the adaptor and what other wires?

Were you looking into a standard head unit or double DIN screen?
could you recomend any good ones? i was looking at this pioneer DEH-80PRS and i use play music for the moment, planing on switching my songs to power amp. would i be able to play music through the usb sonnection? or would it only work through the head phone jack? would it make a difference in sound quality?
There's 7mm fasteners holding it in. Use a flash light so you can see them better.
Hello As part where it goes the new radius?
do you know any good after market steros hat work good with andriod? i need one for my new polk speakers. my buget dosnt really matter for the stero it can be over 200, i just need one that will work with my galaxy s3 andriod phone.
I was able to tilt the steering wheel down and drop gear shift to drive and had plenty of room without unbolting the column. Now as far as undoing the old unit damn that was frustrating just really tight space and the piece under the dash that the tape deck and control head plugs into needed unbolting to remove completely. I reused the factory wires to hook the new unit up which worked fine but they were short and hard to get to .I didn't have any adapters or anything to plug into them so I had to splice every one .in the end after a few bashed fingers and little cussing walla ,the new unit fit and sounds great..

When buying the radio and parts, go to Crutchfield. You get the box, wires, antenna adapter, and the center unit for free if you spend $119 on a radio. Then free three day shipping. It saves money, and allows you to spend more on a radio, vs. a cheaper one, then buying everything else.

standard, most head units say they come working with an ipod or iphone through the usb. i just need one that will put out verybood sound and i can use my galaxy s3 with it. and it all works good, i dont really car about pandora or so much blue tooth.
A lot of decks like the JVC Arsenal can use Bluetooth audio streaming to play music and you can control everything from your phone , (great for partying) and most decks have the auxiliary hook up as well.

For some reason when I was pushing it back in the radio lost power and my dome light and footwell lights flash dim when the door is shut. When I open the door it stops. So I had to unplug the radio.

Since the wires weren’t wrapped in electrical tape and just left to be after being cut, I assume one touched another or metal somewhere. I wrapped all the loose wiring and replaced the fuse so I’m good now. I’m not an expert in all that so it kind of perplexed me but I thought let me check the fuses.

AnthonyJ350 Sure, but you said to check to make sure it works after you said to finalize the installation. It's obvious you knew exactly what you were doing, simply by observing the speed at which you assembled the harness piece. I was just pointing out that for educational purposes, it would be optimal to tell a first-timer that they should turn the unit on before screwing it in and reassembling the trim in case they did something incorrectly prior to the finalization of the install. If someone hadn't thought to do that otherwise, it could save a lot of frustration and potentially even a new car modder, as I would imagine this is a pretty common first "mod" for some people.
hello, I'm writing to ya because my trucks(1990 chevy c1500) stereo units are missing, the three of them. as much as I know there was three owners before me. The first one I believe was a younger guy. Well I believe he is the one who got rid of the stereo units and messed with the wiring. I'm writing to ya because I bought the harness that goes to the top of the original head unit. and it's has more wires than I believe the original did. The new one has 13 wires(rear left and right speakers, front left and right speakers, ground wire, illumination/dimmer wire, power antenna, ignition/switched, and battery/constant), but the wires that I've found that I believe belong to the original harness has 9 wires (front left speaker wires and front right speaker wires, battery constant, accessory switch, ground wire, illumination wire, and stereo dimmer wire). One question I'm asking, is that do I have to by a specific stereo unit for that harness, or something else? The other question I'm asking is, am I soposed to use the other two original wire harnesses that went to the boddom side of the original head unit? because I dont believe I have those anymore. Don't know all what the dude took out of the original stereo wires. To also tell you what wires I have connected right now are battery constant to battery constant, ground to ground, and illumination to illumination/dimmer. What I do not have hooked up right now for the old wires are the accessory switch, and dimmer wire. From the new one is ignition/switched. From those three wires I mention, which of the two old wires go to the new wire? I'm not very smart when it comes to wires, but I love to learn new things. So some help would be very most appriciated!!!

Very! Talk about memory lane! The taillights on it were completely flush with the body and almost like a mirror. Then the stripe down the side is true 24k gold. STILL one of the most amazing vehicles I ever had the seen, and the fact I saw it BEFORE the interior was complete being put together in his garage is astonishing. Would probably 💩 myself if I saw that beaut again😍

@@cjkimball139 It's so cool to hear stories like that. The demand for craftsmanship isn't the same. People people are content building a vehicle with slapped on widebody flares and vinyl stickers.

Being a younger guy all of my friends have been caught up in the “wide body, bags, n wrap” some kits have their flair but nothing like true CUSTOM craftsmanship

@@cjkimball139 They don't like it because it's difficult to achieve and requires a lot of experience and investment in tools. I noticed that's one of the reasons some of my videos aren't as popular as similar topics that do it with less quality.
Can you say OCD?

Demarcus Williams We rarely disconnect the battery when removing head units. We just make sure to not cycle the ignition if anything is unplugged.

@@stephenschowalter4464 How do you test and verify wires with a multi-meter or appropriate test tool if the battery is unplugged?
You spent less than a minute showing how to remove the old radio components, which is 90% of what makes this vehicle more challenging than most, then 10 minutes showing how to strip and solder wires, which I don't need to see at all. At most show soldering one or two wires. The stuff behind the dash is what we need to see here.

Some people want something more Era correct. Or the dash doesn't accommodate a Double DIN and they don't want a floating screen. Could also be a budget thing. Lots of reasons.
At 5:34 you twist wires with your bare fingers. What does that do to clean bare copper people? = corrosion. At 7:11, those are shit strippers people. Can't wait till THE SOLDERING BEGINS LOL. No shot of the actual solder joint. I can tell though all Anthony is doing is melting solder over cold copper wire. See how the large smoke plume instantly emerges? That tells me Anthony holds the iron on TOP of the joint. She forgot back in the third grade that heat RISES. Iron needs to be below the joint. Anthony Anthony...........

Not really sure how you can tell since I didn't zoom in while soldering but ok. This is how I solder. You do know I work in a shop and have to provide a lifetime warrenty on work. If this method was so poor I'd have car come back at the 3 year mark. How many deck installs do you do a week again? kzread.info/dash/bejne/dKx1taiuYZzIfLg.html

Yup, we're showing basics of connections. The Metra mounting kit has the vehicle specific disassembly instructions. It's amazing how much people complain after receiving free info. You can pay me $50/hr and I'll video call you and guide you step by step if you'd like.
