CammoCablamo Posted 5, December 2023 Report Share Posted 5, December 2023 Hello everyone, I am wanting to install a new head unit into my car. It's an alpine head unit. I have some patch leads and all that but it won't start up with the accessories switch or even when the car is on. I did hotwire it straight to power and got it working, so the unit is fine. I just need to know where the remote/trigger wire is to get it turned on lol. If anyone could link a schematic or something, you would be a legend. Thank you Thanks very much in advance.

CammoCablamo Posted 6, December 2023 Author Report Share Posted 6, December 2023 I did try my best to do that but far out, it was hard to be sure what was right. I felt like I wasn't even close to the correct wire. That's why I'm here on a random forum hoping someone might push me in the right direction, you know? Have you swapped your head unit over in yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rammus Posted 7, December 2023 Report Share Posted 7, December 2023 Out of curiosity what fascia surround did you get for the Alpine unit? Replacing the medianav in the same fascia without much modification is almost impossible.. which is why android units are quite popular Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CammoCablamo Posted 7, December 2023 Author Report Share Posted 7, December 2023 I haven't got one. My unit is like the halo kind and so I'm just gonna poke it through the hole and tape the thing down lol. Might try and get something 3D printed to hold it in properly later.
