Technical Help wiring a new stereo in.

[DeadeyeDevie]

im hoping someone can help me here. I bought a new stereo to fit so I could use my phone and play d.a.b. radio though the phone to the stereo, and use Spotify, rather than my old, battered, limited cd collection, but the wiring has thrown me.

none of the adaptor kits looms match whatever is going on with the original one, and I'm quite frankly getting annoyed I can't work it out!

does anyone know what I need to do to to get this to work (a simple list of which points need to be what colour will do, so the right wires will go to the right points on the new one.)

the last 2 pics are the new stereos wiring diagram, and all the others are the original one.

thanks in advance.

Hello, usually a FIAT - ISO adapter should be enough to connect the new radio to the existing installation.

Usually the adapters have 2 cables than can be exchanged: a permanent +12V and an ignition +12V. In my adapter the cables were red and yellow as far as I remember. Black is the ground. It looks that the new radio diagrams keeps the same cable colours.

When you compare the sockets, the one that goes to the speakers has the same layout. Probably is also of same size.

Looking at the power socket, it looks like it has the same layout except the ignition +12 V, which originally was on pin 5, but on the new radio it should be on pin 7:

4 is permanent +12V --> red / green cable
5 is ignition +12V
8 is ground --> black cable

The two other cables in this plug are CAN cables. I can't see a CAN connection on the diagram of the new radio.

The 3rd plug from the old radio seem to be for the Blue&Me and / or the USB socket in the glove box. Plus the steering wheel buttons. Depending if you want to use them or not, and if your new radio allows it.

Hallo I have gp 06 giugaro and I want to install aux cable. Any advice ?

In my opinion if you plug the two 8 pin plugs from the car installation into the new radio, it should be powered by a permanent +12V and should be working.

But it's my opinion, you have to take the risk on your own.

I hope that someone else will confirm what I wrote above.
