hard wiring a stereo

[matt_uno_turbo]

right my uno has no leads at all visible from the cockpit, so what im going to ask is...how the hell do you do it :O

Did your stereo come with an ISO block?

 

[matt_uno_turbo]

yes, got all the wires from the stereo but none in the car itself apart from an aerial lead

 

[H2DaE]

Hmmm, where are the wires from the standard stereo?

 

[matt_uno_turbo]

i dont know thats why it needs hard wiring

 

[H2DaE]

Oooh, I'm not sure then lol

run a fused feed to the battery for the permanent live
run a ground lead to something metal and bolt like
run a wire to the ignition switch for ignition live

then run speaker wires as where you need them.

:yeathat: although the Uno doesnt have an accessory position on the ignition, so you'll have to dig around to find one thats live on ignition only (use a multimeter!). From what i remember, it was an orange wire under the steering column.

OR, you can just connect both the red and yellow wires to the constant power feed (on the stereo end) and that will keep it on all the time untill you turn if off fully manually.

Also, if you dont want to run through a fused power wire, there should be a brown wire knocking about behind the center console area - thats the original power wire used for the stereo in the uno. Its part of the circuit that runs the cigarette socket (if you have one).
