Thank you like im sure some or many have said you took the guess work out of the install. Well lit, speaking clearly and product information. any nice nail polish. Nailed it
Ive a 1995 w140 s-class I hope you reply to this message, I’m having a radio wire issue everything is connected correctly, like wire to wire, for some reason, my radio doesn’t come on when I turn the key to the second on position or when I turn the car on, what could be the reason for that? My red accessory wire / yellow power wire, turns the deck on when I connect them all together, which leaves the deck on even if I take the key out the ignition n it drains my battery if I let it sit overnight. every wire is coded correctly, color to color. I purchased a brand new (AMP) recently. so I hear the (AMP) turn on when I connect the (blue) wire to the (yellow) power wire, just to make sure the AMP turns on, which it does. I get no power from the deck system what so ever, when all the power wires are connected correctly. the radio (fuse) is fine. I’ve no blown fuses from the trunk at all. If you can reply back, that would be awesome!.
@@appleuser7114 check the fuses under the hood as well. If all is well then check the voltage to the yellow wire with the key off (radio unplugged) and see if it has power. The red one should be dead. Now turn the key on and check if the red is powered up. If it is then your head unit should power on so try a different radio or see if the original radio will power up. If either is missing power then you have a power supply issue. I’m pretty sure there is one under the hood on the drivers side
@@MileHighDreamz I live in Europe, so yh. And will get my driver's license next year since you need to be 18. But I cant afford it anyways. First car needs to be under 1000€. Sorry! But I'm sure you will sell it quickly.
@@rags2riches938 Thank you! I went a different route. I got Becker Monza radio and purchased Bluetooth adapter for it. Actually two Bluetooth adapters - cheap one for $32 and Yatour with a bit more options. Both work fine.
@LethalVlogger Yes, mine is a 94 with the same stock radio as in the video and it’s the exact same thing. Directly connected the Nakamichi model with no adapter
I just watch the video again, and realized you have already mentioned that those black wires will go as the negative, thank you so much. It works on mine, I just finished it, 95 c280
The amount of I’m referring to is the original OEM amplifier in the trunk. It is powered by the same factory harness it is connected to in the trunk. The only thing we are changing is the signal that we send it. Double check that the signal wire (blue) is connected. If you are changing the radio because you had no sound before then maybe the issue is with your amplifier.
I did all that and I have the same part for my 2000 mercedes c280 w202. The radio turns on but no sound comes out of the speakers. Any idea why? Thanks
Did you hook up the blue wire that signals the Amp in the trunk to turn on? Check the fuse for the radio/Amp. If still nothing it would check that the Amp in the trunk is getting power when the radio is on
@@MileHighDreamz you mean the blue and white color that comes out from the radio adapter? And have another question. The wires that come from radio adapter which one is nigative the 2 colors or the straight 1 color? Thanks
@@najim-fx6626 yes the blue and white wire that comes off the aftermarket radio. That is the signal wire that is used to send a signal to the Amp in the trunk telling it to turn on. The black wire on the aftermarket radio is the negative.
@@MileHighDreamz I did connect the blue and white wire that comes from radio to the blue and white that comes from the adapter. Changed the amp fuse and still nothing
By RCAS do you mean the connectors that I cut off the harness? Because this car does use those, so I cut them off and hard wired like any other adapter you would buy
@@MileHighDreamz normally you would plug in the rca cables to the rca inputs behind the new head unit. That's how you get sound from the factory amp. Just wasn't sure why you cut them off and wired them to the speaker wires?
Did you check to verify that the Amp power wire is connected correctly? If you have everything else set up it won't matter if this is disconnected. The head unit is sending all the signal to the Amp, but since the Amp is off it is not powering the speakers
I have found on some aftermarket new radios that the amp turn on lead is faulty or weak and will short out on initial install sometimes a little carelessness and it grounds out and ceases to work all else fails try the antenna lead most new aftermarket radios come with antenna leads and amp remote leads get in there with a meter and check your voltages of the blue wire bluewire tends to be your remote lead if I'm not mistaken
I am not sure about the non-bose. I don't see why not. The bose has a separate Amp in the trunk which is usually where an issue happens in some cars. If you don't have a separate Amp then you won't have the issue with sensitive volume control. I would imagine nonbose is the same or easier. Check the plug type on the bag of your head unit to make sure you order the correct adapter.
Did you watch the video? I show the entire box. I take my time showing these things... I don't know the model off the top of my head. Look at 1:30 time on video
Those would be your tweeters. I just verified that mine still work. The install is fine. You either have a different issue or have your highs turned down and can't hear them.
Yeah I had a lot of aftermarket Mercedes stuff in there for lining and a upgraded head unit that controlled the 6-disc changer I have the 6-disc changer control in my Dash and it doesn't work hence why they did all the work I just bypassed the amp and the Lines off the head unit and they work great I replaced thim with infinity hundred watt tweeters the rest of the speaker through the amp awesome job like your video
I have the RCA jacks running through the amp with the aftermarket harness I didn't clip them off but that frees up 4 additional outputs for your hard wire to speakers I just ran my tweeters to that on the front Channel the great way about doing that I don't get that ridiculously high volume to beep every time you change a setting on the radio does a little pop turn the radio on or shift between different things but I can live with that we ground somewhere anyways thank you for all the input quite helpful
So the beeping is a function that you can turn off in the head unit. Refer to your manual. I turned mine off and haven't had any issues with bopping or beeping. Glad it worked out for you. Enjoy
@@ThePrinceOfTheTalkbox lmao! It was a date night with my girl during COVID back when I used to be a white water raft guide. We would paint our nails (normally clear) so they don’t get soft and fall off from being wet all day. I let her pick the color this time and we both matched.
@@MileHighDreamz mannnn I'm struggling asf r n with it lol btw will it work if my radio is completely dead? Idk what has happened to it actually I just want music in my car
@@King12763 as long as you are getting power to the new radio (check your fuse) then I don't see why not. If your amplifier in the trunk failed then no, because the sound is still going through that. By completely dead, do you mean no sound, or that it won't even light up? If it won't light up or play sounds etc then check the fuses.
@@MileHighDreamz yes it won't light up at all I checked the fuse on it and the fuse is there idk if its bunt our or not ill replace them with new ones and let you know again

Nakamichi NQ711B will plug right in to the factory harness. I was surprised
@@rags2riches938 Thank you! I went a different route. I got Becker Monza radio and purchased Bluetooth adapter for it. Actually two Bluetooth adapters - cheap one for $32 and Yatour with a bit more options. Both work fine.
That sounds great! Thanx for the info
Nakamichi NQ711B Bluetooth radio is a direct fit with absolutely no special harness or adapter needed. I was shocked!
Do you know if it's the same for a 94 model
@LethalVlogger Yes, mine is a 94 with the same stock radio as in the video and it’s the exact same thing. Directly connected the Nakamichi model with no adapter
Ok thanks! Also do you have any mechanical advice on this vehicle can't really seem to find much online
@LethalVlogger Anything in specific?? I’ll do my best to answer or direct you to certain websites and stuff, no problem.
@@rags2riches938 I have white smoke while driving and mainly just wiring
Good looking out this saved me some dollaz 👌🏾
Does you antenna goes up and down when changing from Bluetooth to tuner? Or does it even work when radio is on and off?
Great video, can you please share links to the wiring and antenna adapter?
Google the name part numbers and they will pull up. Links always expire.
The rca you joined the black with the colour ones as one? The plugged ones?
Watch the video again at 2 minutes 50 seconds. I explain in great detail.
Hi how are you? What did you do to all the black wires
Which ones are you referring to?
I just watch the video again, and realized you have already mentioned that those black wires will go as the negative, thank you so much. It works on mine, I just finished it, 95 c280

Because they are not used. Watch it again.
everyone puts the original radio, but on the contrary, you took it off))
When the radio goes bad it's $200 plus shipping to rebuild it. I can upgrade for cheaper so why not?
Hello. I just did the same thing on my s320 w140 and i have no sound, any tips
I'm going to bank that you didn't get the power wire connected to feed the supply to turn the amp on just a guess
What Robert said and check your fuses.
Hello again, but when I plug in the old radio it has sound, maybe I have the wrong harness

What model is the Sony radio

Has anyone noticed that their - speakers do not work after doing this the small 2-inch ones on the dash
