Ok awesome. Thanks for all the help! When I get around to fitting my pioneer sph-da120 I'm certain I'll run into a bunch of problems so i may have to ask a few more Qs regarding that over the weekend. Thanks for all the help!

Hi all,
Today I am fitting my pioneer sph-da120 and I've already hit a problem.
It was mentioned by Alex I will need to attach the red cable to a live ignition wire, the orange to an illumination cable and the Arial to an the pioneer loom... so I've attached the quad lock adapter to the original look and I don't know where to go from here... any help in locating ignition live and illumination cable would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Aerial cable there's a terminal on the pioneer loom that says system remote which you can use
Red cable needs to go to something live with the ignition on. You can probably pillage that on the back of the heated window switch above
Same for illumination. That's the grey cable with the blue stripe on the same switch
Are you capable of tapping those wires into the car loom? You'll need a multimeter and a soldering iron or splice connectors to do it

Also I have noticed there are only 2 cables coming out of the adapter loom when there are 5 going in from the car... (left side of loom)

Correct. There are additional power feeds and the CAN wires
Might be wise to call on a local garage or dare I say your nearest Halfords to help you fit it
This was part of the reason why I suggested the more expensive adapter as it doesn't need any tapping in

Sorted then
Use the heated mirror switch for the feeds and you'll be away
