BOB B Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Hi need a bit of help, I'm trying to connect my stubby red wires to a power source but I am unable to get my stereo out, is there any other easy to get to power lead I can use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOB B Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 (edited) Al, It's an Alpine and I can't find the keys, I've been online but that didn't really help. Gaz, could you suggest any of these, I'm good at the metally bits but not so good at the wiggly bits.

You remove the dash and the stereo is bolted to a cage behind the dash, I think there is a guide somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz, could you suggest any of these, I'm good at the metally bits but not so good at the wiggly bits. Al is right, the supra uses a separate cage that bolts to the sides of the stereo, and this then bolts into the dash. The stereo panel is a fiddly bugger to get out, because they must've been on rations when wiring the heater controls and dash clock I can't say of any specific switched live in the boot area off hand bud, but a quick check with a multimeter will find one. Your rear fog light will likely be wired to a switched live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOB B Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Thanks for the replies, I have removed the dash before, and it is a bit of a pain, especially if you are trying very hard not to scratch anything. I may have a go at the weekend, see if I can figure out the right wire at the back of the unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Bit of a thread resurrection here, but my car was off the road for many years until recently. And the aerial (or lack of reception) is my penultimate issue left to fix. I had very poor reception when I swapped to this kit but couldn't figure out why at the time. Then looking at it closer now I have 2 queries and am hoping someone that is a whizz with electronics and car electrics can enlighten me. 1) The base unit is amplified, but for that to work you need to complete the electrical circuit, first by connecting the red wire to power, but also the base of the unit needs to be grounded, hence the metal base. On a stock install would be when it's bolted to the body of the car. But with this install it's not. So the base units amplifier will never work? 2) What is connected to ground and to the entire car body is the mast, as the extension via the bracket is grounded to the car. But surely this shouldn't be grounded and would cause all kinds of interference and signal issues? The mast should be totally isolated to avoid interference?
