HID Kit
thanks for the help but unfortunately it didnt work i have no idea what to do. only the stock factory head unit that came with the car works. i tried your advice and still didnt work. about the stock harness adapter, the small one, on the adapter theres only 4 wires. 2 green and 2 purple. but from the stock connecter theres 6 wires. not sure if thats the problem but im tryin to figure out something thats causing this issue.Hobejam wrote:I just got done swapping my stock head unit out for a Pioneer unit in my 1997 XE and had this same issue. Turns out that, despite NOT having the BOSE system, there is still a factory amp that drives the stock speakers.
The wiring harness I bought to adapt the stock harness connectors to the Pioneer wiring had a blue amp power and black amp ground wire that did not seem to match anything on the Pioneer's wiring. However, after connecting the blue amp wire to the blue power antenna wire on the Pioneer unit and splicing the ground into the existing ground wire, the speakers work perfectly. The stock amp needs a signal from the head unit to power on.
Hope this helps.
