I had an aftermarket pioneer deck that was missing the faceplate, so I am swapping it out for a sony deck I have. I am having a little trouble matching up the wires, and was looking for some advice.

Here is what I show so far to be matched up:



I have every wire on the Sony harness accounted for except for the illumination. There is an adapter already for the antenna which plugs right into the back so that's fine for that.

What am I missing here? Or does that cover everything?

 

you dont need ilumination for after market units

 

illumination I believe is for dimming, which is not used in aftermarket units, Just put a cap on it, or cut it and tape it off... which ever works.

 

Deleted.

 

The sticky at the top shows different than what my wires say, here are the remaining wires I have to figured out.

On my wiring harness it says the following:

Orange = Illumination
Blue = Antenna Power
Red = 12v Switched (12v +)
Yellow = Battery/Constant

This makes more sense, now yellow matches to yellow on my harness, red to red, black to black. The speaker wires are a bit faded so it's hard to tell the color but luckily they're all labeled.

The only wire left is the blue antenna power wire, can I just cap this one off? I have an antenna adapter thing that plugs right into the back of the deck, and I don't have a powered antenna.

 

was that plug in the picture plugged into the after market stereo ???
If it was , then the color code at that plug should be the same as the Sony manual

 

No that plug was the original blazer harness, it had 3 smaller clips plugged into this one.

I have all the wires except the blue antenna wire figured out.

 

Got the new deck installed today, everything seems to be working. Now it's time to replace the speakers and get the alarm fixed.
