Post by: rico2k_uk on September 04, 2007, 02:41:04 PM

need to wire my dvd player into the car... i have a copy of the wirign diagrams for both with and without bose stereo... not sure which one i need to go by, as there is no bose equipment in the car.

it is a uk spec.

I\'ll try and remember to post a diagram I made of the stock connectors when I get home. The only thing wrong is the dimming....if you need your stereo to dim when the lights are on you need to take a feed from say the bulb in the glove compartment as there isn\'t a suitable wire on the standard harness. I wired ISO connectors to replace the stock connector on mine.

Nah. I think I pulled the colours of the wires from either the service manual or from somewhere on rx7club.com so there might be bits on there :)

Ignore the illumination pin as that\'s for the dimmer which may or may not be of use.

Some are quite good...had one in my Probe and was fine but I didn\'t buy it so no idea what sort it was.
