New-to-240z Posted March 11, 2008 Share #26 Posted March 11, 2008 johnny, was wondering if you could comment on what wires did what? I am purchasing a new headunit soon, and wanted to make sure my installation goes smoothly. If you could give me your wiring setup . . . Ie. Red = 12V Constant . . . that would be SOO HELPFUL!!! I have a 73 240z and i took out the radio today and it has the yellow wire (Which i believe is the ignition wire ) and then about 5 or 6 wires that go into this prong thing that connects to a female connect from the stereo. My antenna is also a switch antenna and i will be just moving the switch to the side of the headunit. Please any help would be a big one!

Zs-ondabrain Posted March 11, 2008 Share #27 Posted March 11, 2008 On an after market radio (Pioneer, Alpine, Sony, Kenwood, etc.) Red = ignition (switched power) yellow = battery (constant power for memory and internal amplifier when on) black = ground (bolt it to the bolts on the tranni hump) Blue = external amp remote wire Blue/white = antenna remote wire Orange = dimmer wire (connect to dash lights to dim radio apon turning on dash lights). Pink = cell phone mute (for hands free kits, mutes radio when cellular signal is detected. White = front left speaker (+) White/black stripe = front left speaker (-) Grey = front right speaker (+) Grey/black stripe = front right speaker (-) Green = rear left speaker (+) Green/Black stripe = rear left speaker (-) Purple = rear right speaker (+) Purple/black stripe = Rear right speaker (-) If you plan on installing an aftermarket radio into a 240Z, none of the stock wires really matter except the one from the ignition (accessory position). Run a wire from a solid constant (white/red stripe on ignition) The antenna switch will not fit next to a DIN sized radio (DIN = 2" x 7") it'll work with a 2 pole radio. Picture below will show that here's no room for the stock antenna switch. There are aftermarket antenna's available that work great in the stock location. The Metra PW-22 fits beautifully, I have one. Pictured below. Just hook up the blue antenna wire to the blue wire on the PW-22 and it works great. Invest in a decent test light, test twice, connect once. Hope this helps a little. Dave.
