Hey Scotty, My name is Joe. I'm a new subscriber. I just love your helpful tips. If I could just lend a helpful hand on something you may not know about installing an android stereo. At first I thought it was just plug and play but cars that were made in the last 10 years, well their stereo's actually serve a bigger purpose than just music. They control the some of the car's features such as OnStar, door chime, oil maintenance, etc. There is a separate board INSIDE the factory stereo that controls thiese things. So you WILL LOSE those features unless you buy a separate Interface like a oac series board specifically for your model car. Hope I've been helpful. Never stop. You rock.

@RoboTekno 5 жыл бұрын

Hmm, great video, but I'd recommend heat shrink over electrical tape. I could be wrong, but in my experience electrical tape is good for emergency connections, temporary connections, or maybe for something like a larger diameter wiring harness. It may depend on which brand of tape you get, but a lot of the electrical tape I've seen in past oozes away in the heat or becomes brittle and not sticky in the cold. Similar to duct tape in these scenarios. I'd recommend using a twist-on wire connector before I used electrical tape. Especially in wiring jobs that have multiple connections near each other. If that tape slips off, you could have smoke or a fire develop. Again, great video, but my two cents :-)

@tbyoda9475 5 жыл бұрын

RoboTekno Twist on connectors have no place in a vehicle because they will vibrate lose. A crimped connection would be much better.

@AikidoTubeSock 5 жыл бұрын

A good way to connect is to twist, solder AND use heat shrink tubing or heat shrink connector combined with soldering. I would dab a small amount of dielectric grease on the connection just before heat shrinking. This may sound paranoid or OCD but it makes the connection the strongest part of the system instead of the weakest.

If you take the time to solder the wires, why not just use heat shrink so the job is actually done right? I had to edit it, because people were thinking that I was suggesting just twist the wires and use heat shrink tubing. Instead of just reading what I wrote for what it said.

@bobkinney2430 5 жыл бұрын

Either heat shrink or heat shrink tape :)

because there is perfectly good excuse behind that 😂😄👏

@simpslayer6299 5 жыл бұрын

Because it can cause scratchy sound quality. No matter how tight u twist and seal the wires they will still vibrate. A solid soldering job means crisp clean sound

+Vladimir popov You still solder the wires, but instead of using electrical tape, you use heat shrink tubing. I don't think that anyone was saying to only twist the wires without soldering them.

@codanfi9290 5 жыл бұрын

Electrical tape is old school. Slide a piece of heat shrink tubing on the wire before soldering. Solder. Slide the tubing over the bare soldered wire. Hit it with some heat. Insulated and you don't have the tape coming loose when it gets hot in the summer heat.

Nope! Fail! You needed to electro-plate it with gold or platinum before heating. Not doing so results in a tarnished finish.

Using heat shrink would be a better insulater. Electrical tape will come undone over time if you use a cheap brand. Heat shrink would be a more permanent solution

@lukesdoings7150 5 жыл бұрын

The Great Empire!! Yes! And don’t forget to put heat shrink on your wires BEFORE you star soldering!🤗 and keep your heat shrink pulled away from your joint while soldering. You don’t want your heat shrink melting before you have it in place. 😬 Not that I’ve made any rookie mistakes like this.🙄
