Sony CD player wire colors? Options

[Coomer]

As much as I hate to admit it(Since I hate Sony Xplod car audio products ), I'm in the process of installing a fairly new Sony Xplod CD player in my car. I got the CD player for free in return for installing a gauge in my friend's Neon, and I have no manual for it. I spent the last hour searching through car audio forums, searching Google, and looking through Sony's absolutely useless website(One more reason why I hate Sony.) I simply cannot find the wire colors and what they do anywhere, and I'm wondering if someone can give them to me, so that I can get this CD player installed and get the car put back together.

hmm, the does it have a different wiring harness then most decks for some strange odd reason? All I have to Offer is this, and this is Typical for most decks.


I can see what I can pull up if you need more help.

the one that clipse posted is right. all the after market headunit has the same colors. but sony has a light blue that gay and useless. and dont connect ne orange(illumination). there for older style cars and radio. if u connect it, it can actually short your radio and even ur whole system

Thanks for the info guys. I got the deck installed. Unfortunately, it's Sony Xplod and it sucks...it has no subwoofer control, and the display turns off for a second whenever you press a button.

And Pali_playa...I agree that it's more professional to use a harness. When I didn't know anything 2.5 years ago I had my friend install my cd player, and he just cut off my factory harnesses and spliced into the wires.

So today I went to a junkyard and cut a harness off of a wrecked Paseo, and then soldered that into my car. After I got it back to stock, I tested out my factory cd player, and it worked, so I installed the Sony deck. I think I'll go back to factory though until I can afford a new CD player...it's far better than the Sony Xplod deck that I got. I wish my Pioneer wouldn't have died...it survived a brutal seven or so years though.

Seems that CD/radio installs are FAQ's.
How about a sticky coomer with that excellent wiring diagram of Clipsetuner's.

BTW: I have a Sony Xplod CD/radio deck and 444 amps and they're great. Well at least I'm happy with the way it works and the sound. 10 times better than the standard JVC one I had in there.

hey coomer which one do u have, i have a xplode and it doesn't have sub control built in but it has some of the best sound i've heard and i had a bunch of different decks in includeing stock.

[celicarocker]

my sony has sub control... im happy... only thing i dont like is it doesnt do mp3's

[3TST]

I have the Sony Xplod CDX-MP70 with sub-control and MP3

sorry to break it to u ppl, but.......sony just sucks

I really want the Xplod with the TFT display...its single DIN sized but has the TFT display and looks awesome. They now have a newer version out which is even clearer and more amazing, but both are overpriced and im worried about quality.

[Drocay]

there speakers and amps might be bad but that all has to do with how u use them. But there headunits i can say are execelent and have great quality.
