Stereo Loom - Confused - Looked all over the forum! - Saxperience

dnytdr · 28th April 2015, 17:43

Hi
I've recently puchased a 1.1i desire and it came with no stereo.
That doesn't bother me, the car was £500.

Altho, i've managed to get hold of an Alpine 9855 and the wiring loom that goes with it.

But i've only got half the wiring available to me..
I've included some pictures to better explain my problem.

Small black plug > Stereo
White plug > Connects to Red Plug
Cut wires should go to Red but i have no clue how to connect those wires as the

Thank you

Go to a scrapyard cut the connector of one with a good bit of wire on it then join the wires with shrink wrap colour by colour and job done

Could be a lot easier to do that!

I was confused with the blue, grey, and earth wire connecting to different colour cables and there only being 4 wires into a 5 prong plug

Scrap yard sounds easy enough

Yeah do that and it will work straight away

Solder the wires first then use shrink wrap,unless you want a car fire.

Surely that's standard issue to any1 with a braincell

Cheers fellas,

I was just gonna twist the copper and stick some electrical tape round them haha

Im guessing that wont exactly work..

Scott^p · 29th April 2015, 09:17

It will work but you risk seperation over time and on a really bad day potentially a fire

dnytdr · 29th April 2015, 10:59

Not too confident soldering ha
Surely these connectors will do?
This is 15A £2.50 - much cheaper alternative

Milney8989 · 29th April 2015, 11:26

Yeah that will be fine using the block connector.

On here you have to make everything as clear as daylight,i've seen everything from dewipering with a hacksaw and sawing through the boot,fires knowone is perfect myself included but some people should not be allowed near a toolbox.

Lol. I know I was tired that night and wasn't really thinking of everything to do. Was just trying to give them the heads up of what to do? I like the saw through the boot. Lol
