I hate starting a new thread for something this stupid...if i haven't been driving around with a big hole in my dash i probably wouldn't have, haha!

I searched, but i am on my phone, and can't seem to come up with anything.

Here's the deal, i have the Sony xav-601bt . I've been able to wire it all in except for the red power wire, and the orange illumination wire.

What are you guys taping into for these 2 wires?

I also put this in the 09+ section

Did you use a harness? Most people don't connect the dimmer wire.

I don't need to connect the orange? So i just need to get the red to power?

did you connect the yellow to constant power? then you need to connect the red to switched power at the fuse box

Ah...ok. Like the old days of installing these things, i used to always have an aftermarket hu in all my previous vehicles. And i remember having to do that...for some reason i was thinking that was a thing of the past

Yes the yellow is on constant power

Figured it all out. Was able to tap the purple power wire from the harness behind my coin holder (i have manual 4x4), for the red wire.

I was able to use 1/2 of the PAC harness as my wiring harness. I also kept my 445u wired in. Works awesome! Once i tuned the EQ, it sounds amazing!

I just have to find an FM antenna adapter now...apparently the factory antenna doesn't plug in...so i have to leave my dash apart for another day or 2 until i get that.


Thanks to wyo11scab for all your help! Through this thread, and through PM's! Haha!
