Hi, I bought an Pioneer AVIC F90BT recently , along with a Metra 70-5519 wiring harness and a Metra 95-5026 dash kit from crutchfield...
I have connected all the wires from the metra wire harness, to the pioneer wire harness. The majority were not a problem, but there are a few that I'm not sure if installed correctly...
From the metra harness I took the amplifier ground, chassis ground and negative dimmer and tied them all together. Then I took the 2 black/white amplifier grounds from the RCA harness , and the ground from pioneer harness, tied the 3 together. Then I the 3 tied wires to the other 3 tied wires using a vinyl butt connector. Is that OK?
I took the 2 blue/white amplifier turn on wires from the Metra RCA harness and connected them to the blue/white remote power wires on the pioneer RCA harness. Is that correct? Because I also have a blue power antenna wire on the pioneer harness that I am not using (have it taped up).
And finally, I put the 2 RCA cables from the metra RCA harness into the pionner RCA harness, -the subwoofer outputs. Is that correct? I initially had them in the Front output jacks (as lots of forums said to put it there), but it sounded horrible. I think it sounds a lot better in the subwoofer output, but it's really late and can't go test it out anymore tonight.
I also did the nav hack by moving the mute wire to pin 4 and grounding that along with the parking brake! thank you guys! works good!
any advice would be appreciated, thanks!
