Jimny stereo question was created by bertbuckie
Right, I bought my Jimny with no stereo....and didnt look at the wiring in the hole thinking...how bad can it be? lol
Well..... I am a spark to trade, however my fluke is at my mums house as I was wiring their house a while back because the sparks left a hell of a mess behind them ( new build )
So, I looked at the cables.... a block obviously for an aftermarket head unit which had been molested by a monkey, but there was only 1 black cable going to the block ( black cable, live im guessing ) and an aerial cable ( possibly duel used as an earth? )
Ohhh and another small block thats hard to reach which Im guessing is the speakers?
Can anyone enlighten me so I dont have to drive many miles and get my fluke ?

Also....my JVC I ordered for £2.75 on ebay - the seller let me down :( had to buy one of these instead and pay a massive £17! :(

I have two blocks on mine, black and the brown one.
The brown block is for the speakers and the black block has the power/earth wires.
Black wire = earth
Red = live with ignition
Yellow = Perm live. For radio memory.
Red/white = Not sure? Perhaps for electric aerial trigger??
Is that any help?

I'll go take a picture of it if you like?

Keith :)

Here you go......

OK..... ignore everything I previously said.
I just investigated further to find the monkey wiring is connected only to the black wire....into a spade connection.
Im guessing the other block is the speakers/neutral/live/permanent live etc
heres pics :)







Anyone with the same? is the black one connected to a spade connection meant to be there or is it an addon by someone ?
Is there an adaptor for this type of suzuki - sony head units?
really need to get my fluke black lol
