pjf1985 Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Right I'm about to tackle my Pioneer 2400BT installation but I'm stuck on where these wires go? I bought my unit second hand and it has this aerial adapter on it. Should I remove it at the red connector section and connect it to the other blue "amplifier remote turn on" wire? Quote
Briggsybriggs1 Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) Iv fit that unit in my zed and it did not have one off them on it , it just had a standard one I just plugged in to the head unit :-) It looks like the car it came from needed a remote power wire to the aril that's why the have put the amp power wire to it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited March 23, 2014 by Briggsybriggs1 Quote
pjf1985 Posted March 23, 2014 Author Posted March 23, 2014 Oh I see, cheers buddy. So should I remove the aerial part so it's just the bare blue wire? Then connect that to the amp power wire? Quote
Briggsybriggs1 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Yep mate :-). Have you got all the right adapters as well ? Are you only changing the head unit ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

Only changing the headunit look up the buster mod on here mate because the head unit plays really low volume . Also you will need to by pass the handbrake safety switch so you can watch the DVD when driving :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

Is the Buster mod really necessary? Quote
Briggsybriggs1 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 I think it is mate. I first fit my head unit with out doing at and was not impressed :-) but when I did do it I was impressed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

pjf1985 Posted March 27, 2014 Author Posted March 27, 2014 Just to confirm, sorry if I'm being dumb! So looking at my second photo I've uploaded, all I need to do is cut the wire at the red connector I have on there and connect that part to the other blue "amp remote turn on" wire? Is that correct?

iwanprice12 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Have managed to fit my Pioneer 2400Bt as well...but have not got the DVD working? Need to connect the handbrake 'safety' wire, or do the bypass. Does anyone have a link to this please? Quote
Briggsybriggs1 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 I made a bypass out off a 3 way relay , found how to do it on you tube , it's just a stranded car relay, Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote

iwanprice12 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Ideal. Thanks a lot. Need to get me an old relay now! 😃 havent connected it yet even to the handbrake. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Briggsybriggs1 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 I got my relay from a car spares shop for about £3.50 so it's a cheap fix :-) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote
