Your converter should come with wiring instructions so you will just need to match up the wires and splice them with the scotch blocks, use the pliers to press the metal splice bar so you can be sure of a good connection. Okay, now you'll need to match up your head unit wiring with the wiring required by your converter.
You will also need an "Acc 12V" or "Accessories 12V" which will only be 12V when the key is turned the first click in the ignition, and will read below 1V when the key is not turned, that will also be between the Acc pin and ground The resistance between + and - speaker channels (on the same speaker) should get around 4 OhmsĬheck for 12Volts between the 12v pin and the ground pin or the car chassis You can find most wiring diagrams on-line, most Ford plug diagrams are available hereĪlso if your local dealer is nice they may give you a hand, though be sure to look on the internet first as they'll probably want moneyīe aware that the diagrams are usually of the Pins and they are normally in the head unit, the "plug" is made up of all the sockets which correspond to the pins, so you will have to treat the plug as a mirror image of your diagram, but check your diagram is correct with a multi meter anyway to be sure You will need to find a wiring diagram for your plug type or work out which wires are which At the back of your stereo there is most likely one big plug which incorporates all of the inputs and outputs to and from your head unit.

Don't guess the code as you usually only get a few attempts before it will permanently lock it'self! If you dont have the code and you unplug your stereo it will not allow you to listen to it as it will assume it's been stolen. I already had mine but i certainly wouldnt pay more than £5 for the dealer to look it up on a database. Getting them online can be a bit unreliable and expensive. If you dont have it then you should acquire it from your car manufacturers customer service phone number, your local dealer or the internet. Torch Electrical tape or heatshrink tubing Wire to extend the piggyback cables on the converter (i used around 20 AWG) Soldering iron to solder extension wire if needed Scotch Blocks i ended up using 6 Cable ties not essential but handy for keeping wiring neatīefore you unplug your factory fitted radio, make sure you have the "unlock code" usually in the owners handbook. The methods i used will require an understanding of car/car stereo electrics so just be careful so as not to damage your car or yourself :)īits You'll need: Low Line Converter, I got mine on Ebay here for £6.00 Stereo Keys to remove your head unit, you may not need these depending on the manufacturer and fitting type in your car Multimeter The converter i bought also gives you a "remote wire" output which tells your Amp when the car is on so it doesn't drain your battery, if you get a converter without this option you can just join the remote wire to the Acc circuit of your car, or the 12V circuit with a switch (you will have to remember to turn it off though or your amp will drain your battery)

I decided to keep my standard head unit because it looks well in the car, is less likely to attract thieves than a shiny after-market unit and it is a factory upgraded unit anyway and i find it gives pretty good audio quality, it works with the steering wheel controls and has bluetooth and aux-in, so an after-market unit wouldn't offer a substantial upgrade.įactory head units rarely have RCA or "Low line" outputs which your amplifier will need for it's input signal.Ī "Low line converter" is a device which will piggy back your speaker outputs from your head unit and convert them to Low Line RCA outputs for your amplifier

If you want to upgrade your sound system in your car by adding a sub woofer or speakers powered by an auxiliary amplifier without having to get a new head unit then hopefully this should help you :)
