fyerbyrd22 Posted September 18, 2015 Report Posted September 18, 2015 im doing an install of a double din in one and i cant find a solid answer on the harness and the ignition wire...do i need to tap into an ignition somewhere aside from the harness?...i saw somewhere that it doesnt have a turn on on the harness...also, is there a cheaper harness than the $130 one? personal build in progress http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/188656-2013-kia-sorento-6-12-no-wall/ www.facebook.com/TurbulentDesigns
reedal Posted September 18, 2015 Report Posted September 18, 2015 The harness should come with directions showing/telling which wire is the ignition wire SMD Tool Map https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/193176-smd-tool-map-new-november-2014/ Build log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/197217-reeds-03-tahoe-hat-sqaq-singer-xs-shca-cockbox-80prs/?page=32
never knows best Posted September 18, 2015 Report Posted September 18, 2015 The Metra 5520 harness is the correct one. The truck doesnt have a switched ignition (red wire) as in the harness. You will have to run your own switched ignition to the passenger kick panel where you can tap into the fuse block there. I believe it was pin 41 but I cannot remember for sure. Aside from that the harness is the one needed assuming that you don't desire to keep your sync system. Should you want to keep the sync system or if steering wheel controls then you will need to get expensive harness. I would suggest this one AXXESS XSVI-5520-NAV. It can be acquired for around $50 on ebay or amazon.As far as installation, Dont connect the red and yellow together. The yellow is for a constant 12volts meaning it sees power at all times even when the ignition is off. (directly to the battery). You shouldn't have to worry about this as the factory plug already has a constant 12volts in it. The red is a switched ignition meaning that it sees ground until you turn the key on and then it turns to power.
