Fitting Pioneer SPH-DA120

Post by HarryFitz »

Hi Guys, wondering if anyone can help.

Recently fitted the sph-da120 to replace the RNS-310 radio in my car.
Never tackled anything like this before but couldn't wait the 2 weeks halfords were saying ( especially considering the people i spoke to were even more clueless than me )

Everything has fitted brilliantly, however the thing won't turn off !!
I'm guessing it's to do with the ignition switch wire and constant being swapped at some point but i've tried changing everything i know how to.

Here's the list of everything i bought :

Any help would be amazing !

on the harness you have bought can you swap red and yellow wires?

they are normally the ones that are reversed.

Good choice of radio

Youll need to swap the red and yellow, but youll also need to connect an ignition live feed onto the red wire, as there is no ignition live on the car side of the radio loom as the original unit is CANBUS so uses digital signals to turn on and off
