Im putting a double din single CD from a 04ish Expy in my 97 Cobra vert and doing a 01+ console swap at the same time.
Ive got some wiring questions on this swap that I will put in separate threads.
Im well aware that the oem HUs are crap, but I want a factory appearance and between this car being a vert and the exhaust I cant hear crap anyway.
I rarely listen to the radio.
This car originally had a Mach system. When I bought it, it had a crappy looking Sony HU and a cubby that wasnt made for a Mustang.
I have the necessary bezels, radio and the plugs I cut out of the car when I pulled the radio.
My plan is to replace the speakers and run new wires for them, add a FM modulator for bluetooth, and maybe a mini amp.
Questions:
The new HU has 2 plugs. I figured out the wiring, but I dont think all the wires are necessary.
The square plug has two wires: gray/black for vehicle speed and yellow for airbag. Can I omit this plug altogether?
The flat plug has everything else:
gray/yellow - hot in start: What is this for?
red/black - lights interior: Is this illumination, there isnt another wire for illumination.
white/yellow - constant power: Is this for memory?
I would like to remove the amps and any wiring that i can from the Mach unit or at least unhook them from power. Is this possible?
Lastly: Im going to run component speakers in the doors and would like to run woofers in the rear boxes. Can I squeeze a 8in sub in the box?
Thanks
