As always guys, thanks for watching!
Just want to say a massive thank you for sharing this information with us all! This video has helped me so much and I really appreciate you taking the time to pass on the knowledge! Cheers 🍻
Very thorough and exceptionally well explained - great work
Thanks mate, i just got mine done it was very easy and you saved me of $60 radio harness. Thanks again.
Thanks for this video man. Made fitting my head unit almost too easy
i guess it is kinda randomly asking but does anybody know of a good place to stream newly released movies online ?
I did exactly what you said and it turned out amazing. Thanks for a great video.
Your video makes understand more about this installation, thank u man, now im gona do my own car without paying someone to do it
Awesome guys, thank you, great tech , found this very helpful when trying to locate where to cut into the harnesses for the speakers and yes i have subscribed :)
Bob Bushie Thank you very much :)
@@TheFittingBay G'day guys, at the time I couldn't find anyone who had fuse jumps, found them at battery world the other day so i will be using them, much better idea. with all my cars i usually run power direct from the battery with a toggle switch to turn on//off, i do this as i also sleep in the car on my trips from brisbane to townsville, cuts battery drain and easy in all my old cars, modern electrics are little more indepth, i noticed in your video that the 3rd fuse slot from the left was empty and also constant, can i use this with a fuse jump and 5amp fuse instead of the lighter socket ? regards Bob
Bob Bushie Hi bob! That isn’t a bad idea at all! It is a little harder with modern electrics, especially in newer German cars!
Yep you can definitely use the empty slots in the fuse box, just make sure you put the fuse jump in the right way. Basically the side with the wire should be away from the feed side on the fuse box. So the power actually runs through the fuse. If you wish to use the toggle switch go to constant, otherwise you can find an ignition/switched power and connect to that. If you need any further help don’t hesitate 😊
@@TheFittingBay Thanks Guys, I do want to hook up the steering wheel remote but not sure which wire to splice on that one , do you have a video on that yet, can;t seem to find one , no urgency be another week tidying up a couple of things for rego. regards Bob
Great explanation,but I was using blue plug under steering to conect aftemarket stereo,but I think it is better option use piggy fuse for yellow constant power and use cigaret lighter wires for assesory and earth wire.I have had installed stereo with big screen and reverse camera and my car batery was drained few times , and fuse brown 7.5 was burn and mobile assesory fuse to 7.5 brown. Your way of conecting aftemarket stereo open my mind "whay my car batery was flat two times,because I have had conected stereo on blue plug under steering where is audio and phone conection".
I was using this guide to wire speakers to a aftermarket amp. I accidentally wired the wrong end on the driver's side and basically wired the icc end to the amp and now the icc smells burnt 😳 😅
Yea mate. The cup holder cover is broken on almost every falcon. Thankfully my BF still has its intact
great video, easy to follow and amazing information! thank you :)
Thank you this was very helpful, when will you be uploading the video where you connect an amp to the aftermarket headunit?
Damian Ortlipp Will do this A.S.A.P. for you
The Fitting Bay that would be mint if you did!💯🤙🏽
Bro such a great video! Saved me a lot of fucking round. Subbed!
Thank you made my job so much easier
In case anyone wants a decent head unit for their FG, the Alpine iLX W650E is the perfect fit...
In regards to running a constant and speaker wires is there no wiring loom at the back you can just adapt to whatever aftermarket headunit you put in?
Is there a particular reason you can't install a double din unit there? I have a BA and would love to stick a unit with a screen in.
Look up Aerpro, they have a whole Facia kit which replaces your factory icc with any brand of Double Din head unit
The blue plug behind the fuse box there are 4 wires
Yellow wire is constant.
What colour is Accesory
What colour is ground
The other wire is cell phone mute
Grey help with fitting to my BF ute. The head unit I purchased is a pioneer DEH-S5250 BT this has a separate orange and white wire for illumination, I was wondering to where to connect that too. Also what colour are the front speaker wires for the bf ute and are they in the same place as no back speakers I'm aware of.
Bruce Turner Hey mate! Illumination is optional. If you connect it, the unit will dim when you turn the lights on. You can find the genuine ICC plugs where we mount the new aftermarket radio. You’ll have to unplug them and test for 12v power when the lights are on. When you switch the lights off one wire will lose 12v. Alternatively you can extend the wire and run it closer to the light switch. Same thing. You’ll need to test for illumination. Also they do have rear speakers! Hidden in the back there 😂. Speaker wires + colours are same as per video
Thank you for all your help, much appreciated.
@@bruceturner6946 hey, i purchased the same head unit. how did you end up connecting all of the wires to the car? did you use this fuse method? i'd prefer to splice into the loom but not sure where exactly
Do you have to have the constant power wire run from the fuse box or can you just run it from the accesorys
theshadowgamer97 No because the unit won’t remember any of the settings (radio/sound/date)
Best to do it properly. Don't just tap a fuse its dodgy af
Where could I run a terminal power through fire wall to amp. Cheers great video.
Thomas Humee ua-cam.com/video/-hjktrhlYiM/v-deo.html watch the start of this video and follow the steps 😀😀
please for the love of god use the Blue plug behind the Fuse panel its there for add ons its got Ground Accessories power and constant on it and is a plug and play no cutting of wires... iv also got a cup holder that's not broken
Brilliant video
I’m putting in the same stereo , wanting to know how to get the buttons on the steering wheel to function with it as well
we need to do a video on this still haha
Hey, do you know if the Kayhan BA/BF Falcon ICC units (version 3) are any good? Reviews are mixed, it's hard to know if the problems are due to dodgy installs, not updating software or poor quality units...
Jas George combination of all. They’re cheap Chinese units. Not too bad all things considered but I would go for a Pioneer unit with retractable screen or something like that 😎. If you want youtube Netflix etc then go for the KAYHAN but don’t expect Alpine, Pioneer etc quality :)
Back again looking at your awesome video. Can you tell me where to get the coloured wires for the speakers - Thanks!
where are you located how much is it to do the job
the hurt business Mount Waverley in Victoria. Send me an email info@aesonline.com.au
Where can I get this unit from with the cig unit as well and what is the cost...great job very concise... Albury NSW
any videos for wiring to the steering wheel controls?
ARC Spike Hey mate, as soon as we get one in the shop I’ll upload a how to for you!
Hey man appreciate your content.
I have a 07 bf2 I've wired a jvc KD-X472BT Head unit exactly the same as you have also have a 600w sound Magus running, have triple checked speaker wires, constant, power, accessory, rca's, remote ground and power but the power wire fuse just keeps on blowing out really getting to me, hoping you'd have some advice as to what the issue(s) may be thanks!
P.s Head unit and speakers are fine just fuse issue leading to zero power to amp cheers.
Tai Clip Hey mate. Check the amp powers and make 100% sure you haven’t got GND And 12V+ backwards. Sounds silly but it happens. Following that I’d check the power cable for the amp from the battery and make sure it hasn’t gotten spliced or crimped anywhere where it’s now touching the body of the car. Also check where you’ve done the ground and make sure it’s a solid ground position though this is an unlikely cause. Send me some photos to info@aesonline.com.au if you need more help
I found that the metal brackets that came with my aeropro fascia cover were way too long and were hitting one of the A/C ducts and wouldn't fit in properly. Ended up cutting them with the angle grinder and they fit so much easier. Also, my cup holder is also broken. Stupid bloody thing 🤦♂️
Thanks guys this has helped so much. Could you send me the link to the video of you doing an amp in a ba bf falcon please.
Cheers guys.
Can you just tap into the speaker wires if you want to keep your main unit still have sound coming from it?
Where is the best palace to connect ground cable for amp??
Pawanpreet Singh Depends where you’ve put the amp. If it’s on the back seat you can remove the rear seat (seated part) and use a seat belt bolt. Or sand back some of the paint and screw into the body. Just make sure you’re not screwing above the fuel tank.
Has a video for the steering wheel controls been done? Can't seem to find solid info online
Looking for the same info if anyone has it?
Where exactly is that constant Wire under the steering column if we can't use the fuse box?
Not sure if you’ll reply but I have a bf sedan and was curious if my rear deck speakers will still work when rear speaker wires are connected or do I have to connect to some other wires
Hi, great video and very helpful. My BF Falcon Ute doesn't have Orange/Green Orange/Black combo - it has Orange/Grey and Orange/Black. I don't have any other Orange wires so I am guessing I must have the right one??
Suresh Bopitiya Thank you! If you’re looking in that loom behind the glove box. Keep looking. It’s there 😀. If unsure use a test light to make sure there is no power on either wire (ignition on) if there is no power you can use a speaker popper to test.
@@TheFittingBay Thanks again. Really weird, my front speaker wires were orange/grey and orange/black! I bought a cheapo ALDI radio with a reverse camera (I just wanted the reverse camera) and the AERO din kit you recommended at the start of your video. The radio didn't quite fit as neatly and from the back of the kit. I had to make the opening bigger. I am happy with the end result, however I am not sure if I have fitted the pocket in correctly as it is really hard to access. Tomorrow, I am going to fit the camera. I've run the wires and I plan on cutting a hole in the bumper and sliding the camera from the back. Thanks again for the great video. I must have watched it 7 times and re-watched sections even more whilst I was installing.
Hey there, I have a 2003 ba ute but want to add rear speakers.
Can that be done easily ?
@@scottstinson7471 Mine already had the rear speakers installed plus wiring for a subwoofer which I removed. It was a bit fiddly to take out. Easily depends on how handy you are! I am not extremely handy, but could probably get it done via UA-cam of course!
Would you happen to have the wiring diagram? As I can't seem to find one online
lots of static through the speakers when the ignition is switched on or when the unit is powered independently of the ignition when the icc powers up... any ideas? cheers
Russ Iliff Have you done an aftermarket radio? Or is this just through the OEM system?
Where did you get the stereo surround thanks in advance
Brodie Ashby Autobarn or online. Sold at Aerpro.com
I just plugged my head unit into the aux connector behind the fuse box, saves me from chasing speaker wires. Is this a bad idea, will there be loss of sound quality?
Nah nothing you’ll notice man. If you go down the changing speakers and going amps and stuff then yeah do the proper hard wire for everything otherwise should be fine
@@TheFittingBay thanks for all your help, one last question, once you cut the speaker wires, how can you tell which end is going to the speaker? With the passenger side it's pretty obvious, but on the right side I saw you touched the wires with a couple of wires, to make the speaker crackle. How does that work?
@@The3rdCoat once speaker wire is cut. The speaker side goes to new head unit. Used a AA battery with one wire attached to either side. Then each wire goes to each speaker wire and it’ll pop the speaker so you know what side is what
Is it possible to connect up the new unit and still be able to use the CD player in the original unit.
Specialized 29er Not really, no. Best bet is get a single din radio that has a CD player 😊
Still got the cover on my BA
I’ve just bought the same exact stuff but nothing fit at all. The top piece had to be forced into place and the bottom piece doesn’t even go all the way back
Hey there, might be a stupid question but I want to add rear speakers into my 2003 ba ute to the existing factory head unit.
Can it be done easily ?
I’ve followed everything for this video however no audio from speakers, all connections are fine and my sub gets power and works jsut no sound from door speakers
Hey mate, did you end up doing a video on the sub/amp part of the install?
Cheers
hes got another video of fitting an amp and sub into a ba sedan it came out before this video so have a look on the channel
I think I got one and it is intact
I did exactly what you said and it still won’t work I get power to the head unit but no sounds through any speaker.
I have a cup holder cover intact on my FPV typhoon, only reason is I leave it up all the time so it never gets used lol
mine doesn’t click in so I leave it up 😂
Brother I install Android head unit all working except I am confused where to connect the reverse cam in my Android head unit so can you please tell me where can I find the reverse cam wire in ford falcon
bibhor bhatta 12v + at the reverse light. I would check the r cam wire from head unit first: see if it has power or not. It might be an output for camera power. If no power in reverse. Then it needs reverse from the reverse light
can i put the head unit just in the stock bit, or do I need to get a new aftermarket one
Anyone done this for a premium sound system with tweeters and sub working
Cup holders perf in mine ahaha same with my el
Will the volume control on wheel still work?
Will the facia work if I have a column shift automatic?
Column shift ba? Should work fine I think it only doesn’t work with manual. Check aerpro.com to confirm :)
The Fitting Bay thanks. It’s a one ton ba Ute.
Thanks 💯👍🏻🇦🇺
so i just done this now car wont start and icc saying security code error where did i go wrong ahh
I got an intake cup holder thingy haha
any idea on where i can buy a plug?
Luke Hawkins plug for what
Dude. Buy some heatshrink
My BA cup holder cover is still intact.
Is the same fascia kit available for the manual transmissin BFs?
I think so man just check out your car year and make on aerpro.com and read the product info. Also check stinger Australia
I'm looking at a plug and play head unit harness kit for the falcon, no splicing involved, how would that be different from your setup? I'm pretty dumb about this stuff, thanks.
The 3rd Coat Can you send me a link so I can check? Some companies sell replacement units to replace the factory ICC. They’re not too bad very hit and miss. This is a good “branded” head unit and is one of the easiest ways to get something decent in there. You could look at the Pioneer AVH-Z7250Bt Also.
@@TheFittingBay I mean a plug and play harness kit so you don't need to splice speaker wires and add a fuse, that sort of stuff.
The 3rd Coat Oh yeah it’s just a plug and play loom for this exact job. I thought you mean the replacement units. If they’re not to expensive I guess it wouldn’t hurt
@@TheFittingBay cool, thanks mate. Just to save time and hassle.
how to install its on ford fairamount??
izzadin din is interior the same?
Can u buy pass factory radio with a harness or not
Where are use located
Some 1 said u can by pass a fordfalcon factory radio can u do it or not
My piece is intact
My cup holder is good still
classic autobarn install lol
Wow dirty af
The poor car is filthy, could do with a good detailing,
that kenwood belongs in the rubbish bin lol
Great not grey
why is your car so dirty
Is there a way to wire it up so that the steering wheel controls still work with the single DIN?
Brendan Matthys Yep you need a universal steering wheel control module and the wire for SWC Is in the steering wheel column. Video on this will go up in future when do another Falcon with swc :)
@@TheFittingBay keen for that one then! Thanks mate
What are the usb ports connecting too?
ACC Power
