SEzzz Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Hi all, First of all, just want to say that this forum is amazing. The wealth of resources and knowledge is incredible! Thank you all very much for contributing. I hope that I can return the favor one day. Now onto my own question I currently own an AVIC N-1. I've purchased the AVIC-F90BT which I plan on installing myself (N1 was also installed on my own). I am wondering if I need to rewire the harnesses or if I can simply unplug the harness from the N1 and plug it into the F90 since they are both Pioneer units. Other than performing the hardware bypass switch of the mute wire, do I need to do a detailed analysis to make sure all wires match up or can I assume that Pioneer uses identical harnesses for each model? Any thoughts and/or comments would be much appreciated! Thank you very much! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sensai28 Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 It's never safe to assume. Especially when you're dealing with electricity. If it were me, I would double check all the pins on the new and old harness. If the wire colors match up, you should be good. It should take no longer then a few minutes.

NFEDERIC Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 You will need to rewire. harnesses are different. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SEzzz Posted June 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 dang it... thank you both for the input! much appreciated! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SEzzz Posted June 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 I just looked at the installation manuals for both. all of the colors match up. Is the problem that the actual plug itself is different? or is it the order of the wires within the plug? Just trying to pin down what the difference is Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NFEDERIC Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 I guess you could just put them side by side when you go to do the install. I was just going by what was stated in the original f90 intro thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SEzzz Posted June 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 ahhhh gotcha. I'll take a look once the F90 gets here and post it in case someone needs it for future reference. In either case, the input is much appreciated! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SEzzz Posted June 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 So. It turns out that the harnesses are different. The f90 harness is a little bit larger since it contains more inputs (the n1 had a hideaway brain which took the camera, rear signal, and speed signal inputs. So anyone updgrading beware you will have to do some soldering the unit is awesome so far besides the fact that I get no sound out of my iPod I need to do some reasearch for possible causes on the forum.
