DVR is Digital Video Recorder, IR is Infrared. The cable you mention sounds like it is meant for video or camera.

Red wire should be for 12V ACC. Only Yellow wire to 12V battery. If you connect the red wire to your battery directly, it mean your radio will be on at all time.

Wiring harness that goes between car and after market head unit harness has two blue wires, one solid and one with white stripe (amp turn on and antenna wires), while the head unit (after market stereo)harness only has one solid blue wire that the book labels for amp turn on. My question is: can I just connect all three blues, the solid on the head to both the solid and striped on the harness? Or just cap one off? Don’t have an amp and don’t think it’s a power antenna but not 100% sure.

As long as you car do not have Amp, you may cap off the blue/white wire. Connect just the solid blue wires

I have a 2007 jeep grand cherokee with a separate factory amp in the back. I've been told I need to splice the blue wire with the accessory. I've done this and still no sound, the blue wire acts as a constant for some reason even though its labeled antena/amp turn on. Any suggestions?

@eazidiy Ай бұрын

Yes, splicing the blue amp on wire to 12v ACC can turn on the amp. You must also consider how the amp speakers are grounded.

@eazidiy Ай бұрын

Do you have an Android radio or a 2DIN radio? You may need to buy special harness or canbus for an Android radioto work. For a 2DIN radio, you need to take the speaker feeds from the RCA ports of the radio. Which means you must have an harness thar can support that.

Red wire is 12V ACC. You should only have 12v when the car is turned otherwise there will be no 12v when the car is off. Yellow wire is the 12v constant ( +12v at all time as long as you have battery in the car)

Red wire is 12V ACC. Prevents your radio constantly turned on and drain your battery. Please check your radio wiring diagram to determine which wire is for the 12 V ACC.

@ryanarledge51 4 ай бұрын

So on some older cars the radio is t designed with a memory circuit. Mine wasn't so I had to run a wire in to allow it to have a trickle of power to save presets while the car is off. A way to figure out which wire is your accessory wire and your battery wire is to take a multimeter to the wire and to your ground. if it shows 12 volts until you turn the car off it's your accessory. If it keeps showing 12 volts after the car is off it's your battery wire.
