Got it off e-bay ages ago for $5 Canadian ! Older Honda units do turn up occasionally.

Jacob, thanks for the info! I'm great with bodywork, but give me a couple of wires......

Where did you pick that up? Could you find anymore?

Both blacks are grounds.

Yellow with red tracers is the continuous power (straight to battery)

Red with Black tracers is the wire that will go to the ignition (causes the unit to turn on with the ignition switch, or you could wire straight to battery with an inline switch)

The green and grey are your speaker output wires. Wire these to your speakers.

I'm about to fire up my Honda Pioneer Stereo for the first time but before I give it any juice it might be a good idea to find out exactly what each of these wires is for!

stereo

The coloures are (from bottom to top)

Black (mounted on side of unit)
Yellow with Red tracers (2A fuse)
Green
Grey
Red with Black tracers (1A fuse)
Black

Any info you guys could give me would be a great help. I also need to know how you'd wire it into the car's loom, this is one of those accessories that doesn't appear to be shown in any of the circuit diagrams I especially need to find out how power is shared between the car's radio and this extra cassette player. Do I need to fit a 3-position switch?

Kurt, if the literature you have for your pioneer has some good info, could you e-mail me some pics?

Cheers

Keil
