I recommend to bypass the OEM amplifiers completely and use aftermarket amplifiers and speakers. If you want to use the OEM amplifiers, I recommend to use an aftermarket interface that will allow OEM amplifier retention for your particular vehicle. Many are available, here is one possibility: catalog.pac-audio.com/catalog/radio-replacement/rp4-mz11 If you are having issues with the interface, please contact the manufacturer of the interface for install help. Or take your vehicle to a qualifier car audio installer shop for help. You can find more videos on Pioneer's You Tube Channel here: kzfaq.info

If you don't know how to install please seek professional help at a car stereo install shop. The camera should have power when the vehicle is powered on. The purple wire lets the in dash receiver know the vehicle is in reverse and opens the camera window to view.

Deckerd Otto umm it's one cable I needed to know..I installed the radio...all I needed to know was what cable the back purple went too...I was just hoping for help here...so I'm still looking for the color of my brake light on my 04 xl....

Don't connect your camera to the back up light. The camera should have power and ground when the vehicle is switched on. The purple/white wire let's the in dash receiver know when to switch to the camera input.

You can change the dimmer setting on the receiver as often as you want. If you choose the timer setting, the lights dim at the selected time. For example 8:00 PM. and the lights come back up to selected brightness at the selected time. For example 6:00 AM. The position of the vehicle lighting switch does not matter.

The Pioneer Wire Harness Colors are not designed to match the wiring in any particular Make, Model, or Year of vehicle. If there are colors that match, that is pure coincidence. If the black wire in your vehicle is a Ground capable of supporting 10 amps DC then it's a good ground connection for the black wire in the Pioneer car stereo wire harness. I recommend using a Wire Harness adapter for your particular vehicle.

The Blue wire with white stripe on the Pioneer wire harness is for switching on external amplifiers, power antennas, and any other component that needs to switch on and off with the in-dash receiver. The Orange wire with white stripe on the Pioneer wire harness it for automatically dimming the illumination on the in-dash receiver with the vehicle's lights. I don't know what orange wire you are trying to connect so I don't know if it's ok to connect it. You don't need to connect the Orange/White wire on the Pioneer harness, you can dim the lights based on the time of day if you want.

The AVH-200EX orange wire with white stripe can be used to automatically dim the illumination when the vehicle light switch is set to on. The AVH-200EX also has an illumination Timer setting available. With the illumination timer, the in dash receiver will dim based on the time of day, regardless of the position of the vehicle lighting switch. You can see this operate with a similar in dash receiver model here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gc1lqryftsi7e30.html When using the Illumination Timer, no connection for the Orange/White wire is required.

The Blue wire with White stripe is commonly used as an on/off switch for a power antenna or an external amplifier. You can find more videos on Pioneer's KZfaq Channel here: kzfaq.info

The Blue Wire with White stripe is used to automatically switch on and off external amplifier and other systems like a power antenna. If you have an external amplifier, I recommend to extend the Blue/White wire from the Pioneer in-dash receiver and connect directly to the external amplifier at the system control terminal. The Blue/White wire can be run along beside the RCA cables from the in-dash receiver to the external amplifier.

Disconnect the in dash receiver from the wire harness. Check the fuse on the back of the in dash receiver. Check the vehicle fuse that protects the in dash receiver. Confirm that the Red wire and Yellow wire are measuring 12 volts. Re-connect the in dash receiver to the wire harness.

You got the camera plugged into the Brown RCA camera input on the back of the Pioneer in-dash receiver. That's good. The rest sounds like it may be incorrect. Pioneer in-dash receivers are designed to work with the Pioneer ND-BC8 backup camera. I don’t know about the operation of other cameras. Be sure to plug the Brown camera output RCA into the Brown RCA Input on the back of the Pioneer in dash receiver. The Pioneer ND-BC8 camera needs power and ground to operate. The camera should always have power when the vehicle is switched on. And the camera should power off when the vehicle is switched off. This is very similar to the way the Red Ignition wire works on a Pioneer in-dash receiver. The purple/white wire is used to let the in-dash receiver know that the vehicle is in reverse and to open the backup camera window on the receiver screen. Do not connect the Purple/White wire to the camera. When you put the vehicle in it’s reverse gear, the Purple/White wire should sense a change in voltage. This opens the camera window on the in-dash receiver. And closes the camera window, when the vehicle is taken out of it’s reverse gear. One possibly connection for the Purple/White Reverse Gear wire is back up lamp terminal. Here is a video about camera operation: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qr2Zks6Htc2WfWg.html Here is a video about the Pioneer ND-BC8 camera: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oc1gfMR4qJmuknk.html and you can find more videos on Pioneer's KZfaq Channel here: kzfaq.info

I recommend to contact the camera manufacturer for help with the camera. I am not an expert on the camera you have or it's connections. I can only tell you about the Pioneer receiver and a Pioneer ND-BC8 camera. The camera should power up and be on ,at all times, when the vehicle is on. The camera should power down and shut off, with no power draw , when the vehicle is powered down. The Pioneer camera has a Red ignition switched Power wire and a Black Ground wire. The Pioneer camera also has a Brown Male RCA to connect to the Brown Female RCA jack of the Pioneer receiver. If you don't connect the in-dash receiver's Purple/White Reverse Gear Wire, to anything, simply as a test, you should be able to open and close the camera view window on the in-dash receiver , manually from the receiver's home screen, at any time the vehicle is running and see the camera view on the in-dash receiver. This does not require reverse gear at all. If you can manually switch the camera view on and off, and see the camera view, on the receiver screen, you know the camera is wired correctly. If you can't see the camera view in this test the camera is wired incorrectly. After you know the camera is wired correctly, it's just a matter of getting the Purple/White wire connected to the correct terminal on your reverse light so that it sees a change in 12 volt voltage when the vehicle is put in it's reverse gear or taken out of it's reverse gear. The Battery/Positive setting is by far the most common setting used in many installations. The Purple/White wire from the receiver should never touch the camera or an camera wires in any place at any time. The Purple/White reverse gear wire should run from the back of the in-dash receiver to the backup light on the vehicle. When you put the vehicle in reverse, the backup light switches on, and this in turn shows the purple/white reverse gear wire a 12 volt positive input. This will automatically open the camera window on the in-dash receiver.

@jason walsh - Then you just toggle the switch "on-off-on" and it thinks the parking brake is applied, correct?

In Pioneer's wiring system, Yellow is constant power, Red is switched power, and black is ground. This may not be the same for other brands of products. I suggest to contact the product manufacturer for support. Pioneer in-dash receivers are designed to work with the Pioneer ND-BC8 backup camera. I don’t know about the operation of other cameras. Be sure to plug the Brown camera output RCA into the Brown RCA Input on the back of the Pioneer in dash receiver. Your Pioneer AVH-A215BT uses a composite RCA video input for it's backup camera. If the camera you want to use has a composite RCA video output, the camera should work with the Pioneer in-dash receiver. You can see the camera input on a similar receiver here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r9qFn7ikzpeZhZc.html The Pioneer ND-BC8 camera needs power and ground to operate. The camera should always have power when the vehicle is switched on. And the camera should power off when the vehicle is switched off. This is very similar to the way the Red Accessory wire works on a Pioneer in-dash receiver. Just because the camera has power does not mean you are viewing the camera window on the in-dash receiver. The receiver’s violet/white wire is used to let the in-dash receiver know that the vehicle is in it’s reverse gear and, to automatically open the backup camera window on the receiver screen. Do not connect the violet/White wire to the camera. When you put the vehicle in it’s reverse gear, the violet/White wire should sense a change in voltage. This automatically opens the camera window on the in-dash receiver. And closes the camera window, when the vehicle is taken out of it’s reverse gear.

Do not expect the wire colors of your Pioneer receiver to match the vehicle. Any color match that may happen is purely coincidence. The Blue/white System Remote Control wire on the back of the Pioneer receiver is used to switch on / off external devices that need to switch on and off with the in-dash receiver. For example an external amplifier. You can view the blue/white wire as the amplifiers on/off switch. You can see where this wire connects to a Pioneer amplifier in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b594mdCUnbfchpc.html This does not power the external amplifier. It only switched the amp on and off. An external amplifier still requires power and ground to operate. You can find more videos on Pioneer's KZfaq Channel here: kzfaq.info

Luke Dawg ground the light green wire to a screw

Did this work bc I think it needs off on off or opposite

I would think if the ground does not work then you can hook the green wire into the parking break and run a toggle switch

For Pioneer SPH-10BT, you can view the Yellow wire as the memory wire. If you disconnect this wire the in-dash receiver's memory will be lost. Yellow should always have power from the vehicle's battery when the key is on, or when the key is off. You can view the Red wire as the in-dash receiver's on/off switch. On and off with the key is a typical installation meaning the key position controls power to the red wire. In your case, you may consider using a toggle switch on the red wire. To be clear, you could wire Red and Yellow together, and use the toggle switch on the red wire to power the in-dash receiver on and off when you want. Please note, if you leave the toggle switch on, the receiver will stay on, and may drain the battery. For the clock, the SPH-10BT is not a typical Pioneer receiver. It is designed from the ground up to be 100% operated by using the Pioneer Smart Sync app on your phone, and to have the phone mounted in the receiver's integrated phone cradle. When you have the Pioneer Smart Sync app on your phone, the app will display the clock on the phone screen.

Purple/White is used to let the in-dash receiver know the vehicle is in it's reverse gear and that will automatically open the backup camera window on the in-dash receiver. One possible place to connect the Purple/White wire is the vehicle reverse lamp.

@@deckerdotto6035 Thanks. So I need to buy some wire and connect the purple/white wire to the reverse wire as well?

Yes, if you want the camera to automatically show on the in-dash receiver screen when you put the vehicle in reverse, and to close the camera window when you put the vehicle in another gear. If you don't connect the Purple/White wire the camera will only come on when you manually switch it on from the receiver's home screen.

You don't need buy antything. Light green wire (from the unit station) stick to the grund (somethig metal). I did that in my Chrysler 300c 2007 and I have all setting visible all the time and I can watch movie while driving :D Simple and priceless. Regards from Poland where imposible is nothing :)

Just wire the green cable to the black earth

Won't work cause it needs an on off on signal, figured that out the hard way

What is the model number of your Pioneer in-dash receiver? Pioneer receivers with dedicated backup camera input use the Violet/White wire for the reverse gear signal input. You can see it in this Pioneer How To video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y8h2Ztir38e4Y2Q.html The in-dash receiver can be set up to use a positive or a negative input signal from the vehicle. You can see it in this Pioneer How To video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qr2Zks6Htc2WfWg.html In most cases, you'll use the positive 12 volt input from the vehicle's back up lamp terminal to trigger the camera window to open. Not every vehicle works this way. That's why the negative or ground option is available. Pioneer in-dash receivers are designed to work with the Pioneer ND-BC8 backup camera. I don’t know about the operation of other cameras. Be sure to plug the Brown camera output RCA into the Brown RCA Input on the back of the Pioneer in dash receiver. The Pioneer ND-BC8 camera needs power and ground to operate. The camera should always have power when the vehicle is switched on. And the camera should power off when the vehicle is switched off. This is very similar to the way the Red Accessory wire works on a Pioneer in-dash receiver. Just because the camera has power does not mean you are viewing the camera window on the in-dash receiver. The receiver’s violet/white wire is used to let the in-dash receiver know that the vehicle is in it’s reverse gear and, to automatically open the backup camera window on the receiver screen. Do not connect the violet/White wire to the camera. When you put the vehicle in it’s reverse gear, the violet/White wire should sense a change in voltage. This automatically opens the camera window on the in-dash receiver. And closes the camera window, when the vehicle is taken out of it’s reverse gear. One possibly connection for the violet/White Reverse Gear wire is the vehicle’s backup lamp terminal. You can find more videos on Pioneer's KZfaq Channel here: kzfaq.info

Thank you Very much sir.. I use old AvH 2850 BT

The Pink Wire in a Pioneer wire harness is from a Navigation Level in-dash receiver with a model number that begins with the letters AVIC. The Pink Wire is for VSS or Vehicle Speed Sense and is used to more accurately track the motion of the vehicle. VSS taps the vehicle computer to read speed data generated by the vehicle. I recommend to connect the Pink Wire in the Pioneer Wire Harness when possible for best performance of the in-dash navigation system. In most cases the Pink Wire is NOT required for operation.

How to make a wire harness for pioneer avic z1

Search for a Micro Bypass (for emergency brake)for your brand of radio.

You did not mention what in dash receiver you have. Many Pioneer receivers have an on screen button to switch the camera on at any time. You don't need a switch. You can see that in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jb9geq-kqJmlqHk.html

The Pioneer AVH-P4350DVD was manufactured back in 2010-2011. It's possible the receiver needs to be serviced.

There are several possible causes of the receiver not powering on as normal. 1. A wire has become disconnected. I recommend to check the Red, Yellow, and Black connections. If any of these connections are loose or disconnected, the receiver may not power up. After driving for a year, it's not uncommon for a wire to vibrate loose. 2. A blown fuse. There is a fuse on the back of the in-dash receiver at the wire harness connection. It may need to be replaced. In addition, I recommend to check the fuses in the vehicle panel for power to the receiver Red and Yellow connections. 3. I recommend to press the microprocessor reset button. You'll need a paperclip or some other small point to press the microprocessor reset button. You can find the microprocessor reset button on Pioneer AVH-120BT just below the USB port on the front of the receiver.

I'm not sure what AVS-200EX is. If you mean AVH-200EX, there should be a red wire. If you are seeing a Red and a Pink wire you have the wrong wire harness. Go back to the store where you bought it and ask for the correct harness. A Pioneer wire harness with a Pink wire is used for in dash receivers with built-in navigation. The pink wire is for VSS or vehicle speed. AVH-200EX does not have this. You can find more videos about AVH-200EX here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hKh5p6qn3a_PYmg.html

Deckerd Otto my bad it’s avh-200ex yes it has Pink solid wire

Is there only the Solid Pink wire? Or is there a Pink wire and a Red Wire?

I have the same question. It is a sold darker pink. (No Red)

I have the same issue. I think we have to connect it to the blue wire in the Radio Harness

Daniel Montes yes I already connected the blue wire from Metra to the blue/white wire harness and it works perfectly..let me know!

Alright! I will connect the three of them ! Thanks

Daniel Montes just remember connect the Metra blue wire to the Pioneer Blue/White (System Remote Control) wire only!

What about the blue one that comes from the aftermarket harness that connects into the car?

What is the model number of the in dash receiver?

AVH-X391BHS. The online retailer support (excellent support) told me to combine the pioneer blue, blue white wire to the blue adapter wire for a 02 Sequoia install. It has a JBL amp sound system install. I also have a micro bypass relay soldered on this line. The back up camera, and radio work great. Excellent sound, seamless WAZE operation, bluetooth and wireless operation. Should I separate out the blue ant. signal wire? Backup camera comes on when reverse is selected and returns to radio when out of reverse. Thanks for any advice.

On the AVH-X391BHS press the "Home" hard key and then touch the "AV " button on screen. In the AV window choose "Power Off". This should shut down the in dash receiver and shut down all accessories connected through the blue wire with white stripe. Choose "power off" not "source off". "Source Off" will not put the power antenna down. When source off is selected, the in dash receiver will stay powered up and all connected accessories will remain powered up even though no music source is playing. When any music source is selected, the blue/white wire will provide a signal to power up any connected accessory including amplifiers and power antenna.

Selected Pioneer in-dash receivers can be set up as Standard Mode or Network Mode. You can learn more about Standard Mode / Network Mode here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hst4kstpuq7ecqs.html and for more detailed information check out this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jdx6i7yZm9zPj2Q.html You can find more videos about Pioneer NEX receivers here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/odZ7jM6kkpebl4E.html and you can find more videos on Pioneer's KZfaq Channel here: kzfaq.info

I do not recommend to wire your in-dash receiver this way. It's not difficult to wire your in-dash receiver so that you can turn it on without using the vehicle's key or on/off switch. Please note: If the in-dash receiver is inadvertently left on when the vehicle is switched off for an extended period, for example, for a few hours, or over night or for a few days, the vehicle's battery will die. In this case, you'll need to be sure to switch the in-dash receiver off every time you leave the vehicle. If you don't switch the in-dash receiver off, you'll run the risk of killing the vehicle's battery. Focus on the Red Wire. The red wire is sort of like an on/off switch for the receiver. When properly installed, the Red wire has power when the vehicle is on and the red wire does not have power when the vehicle is off. If you connect the red wire to a continuous power source, the in-dash receiver will power on even when the vehicle is switched off. The Yellow wire should have continuous power. This is what keeps the clock and radio station presets in memory even when the vehicle is switched off. Another option is to put a toggle switch on the red wire circuit. You can use the toggle switch to turn the in-dash receiver off. You can find more videos on Pioneer's KZfaq Channel here: kzfaq.info

You'll need to engage the vehicle's Parking Brake in an ON-OFF-ON operation to access all of the menu options on the screen. This might also be called an Emergency Brake, or a Hand Brake. If you engage the Parking Brake and still can't access the menu options, your vehicle may have an incorrect connection to the Green Parking Brake Wire on the in-dash receiver. You can learn more about the Green Parking Brake Wire in this Pioneer Wire Harness video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y8h2Ztir38e4Y2Q.html You can see it operate in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fZuYrNSjl7LdcWg.html and you can find more videos on Pioneer's You Tube Channel here: kzfaq.info

Deckerd Otto so i can could always see videos with the handbrake on or off the video usually cuts off once the car speed exceeds 20km. im not really interested in video display while driving because its not safe, what i want is the bluetooth connection

The Green Parking Brake Wire is the key. The Parking Brake needs to be engage to use the Bluetooth Settings. You can see it operate on the Bluetooth Settings in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kJ-Gh715vLbem4U.html If you engage the Parking Brake and still can't get to the Bluetooth Settings, your vehicle may have an incorrect connection to the Green Parking Brake Wire. You can try to press the microprocessor reset button on the in-dash receiver. If this does not correct the issue, go back to the Green Parking Brake Wire.

Do you have the vehicle antenna properly connected to the in dash receiver? Change the "Local" setting to off. I don't know what receiver you have. You can find information about the local setting in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n8p8abCAvcyyhn0.html

I know about the front output RCA jacks but door speakers don't come with RCA jacks and tryn to convert them would be a bitch.. the whole set up is unnecessary..

The Green Parking Brake wire is the key to accessing the in-dash receiver's Bluetooth Settings menu. If the receiver is not responding to the on-off-on parking brake operation, I suspect the Green Parking Brake wire has an incorrect connection to the vehicle's parking brake switch. If your Pioneer has a microprocessor reset button, pressing the reset button may help. This will not override the Green Parking Brake wire's function. The receiver may need to be reset in order to function properly. You can find more videos on Pioneer's KZfaq Channel here: kzfaq.info

The Black wire is the ground wire. Pioneer receivers operate on a 12V DC system that requires a ground to operate. The Yellow wire with Black stripe is used to mute the receiver with a temporary ground signal. This is explained in the video above here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y8h2Ztir38e4Y2Q.html Please watch it with the sound on. This is typically used in selected vehicles for systems like On-Star. You can find more videos on Pioneer's KZfaq Channel here: kzfaq.info://kzfaq.info

It sounds like you have the speaker outputs overloaded. Pioneer in-dash receivers are designed to operate up to 4 speakers each at 4 ohm impedance. If you lower the impedance to below 4 ohms the receiver will overheat and eventually shut itself down for protection. You can find more videos on Pioneer's KZfaq Channel here: www.youtube.com/@pioneerelectronics

This depends upon your vehicle. The Pioneer AVH-4000NEX has a Brown RCA backup camera input on the rear of the receiver. You can see it here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z5x6mrtn356xmKc.html If your vehicle has a camera with an RCA output it may plug directly into the Pioneer receiver's backup camera input. The receiver’s violet/white wire is used to let the in-dash receiver know that the vehicle is in it’s reverse gear and, to automatically open the backup camera window on the receiver screen. Do not connect the violet/White wire to the camera. When you put the vehicle in it’s reverse gear, the violet/White wire should sense a change in voltage. This automatically opens the camera window on the in-dash receiver. And closes the camera window, when the vehicle is taken out of it’s reverse gear.

@@deckerdotto6035 Unfortunately after I connect to Brown RCA still not working, have no idea what's wrong

Speaker wires are explained beginning at 6:30 in the video

Selected Pioneer receivers have a pink wire in the wire harness. I strongly recommend to properly connect this wire to the vehicle. The Pink wire is labeled "Car Speed Signal Input" This is also commonly known as VSS or Vehicle Speed Sense. And can also known as the Speed Pulse wire. This should be connected to the vehicle's computer to read the speed information generated by the vehicle. This is used as part of the 3D Hybrid sensor in the receiver used to accurately track the location and motion of the vehicle in navigation even when no GPS data is available. This is a very important wire to connect to the vehicle if you want to use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto for navigation, or on selected Pioneer receivers the internal navigation system. If you're using an optional iDatalink Maestro RR in your installation, there may be the option of connecting the pink wire to the Maestro RR harness. You'll know the pink wire is properly connected by opening the Connection Status screen in the receiver's System Menu and checking the Speed Pulse value. 0 when the vehicle stopped and a higher value when the vehicle is in motion.

Wire colors vary from one auto maker to another and from one vehicle model to another.The wire colors on the Pioneer in dash receiver are not meant to match the colors of any auto makers wiring. I recommend buying a wire harness adapter made for your particular vehicle make, model and year.

Same problem, my pioneer harness has a pink wire instead of red and it doesn’t look thick enough to be the ignition

You need a adapter harness when adding aftermarket stereos to make it easy and so you don't have to cut your factory harness. The aftermarket wires will match the pioneer coloring.
