Q: Aftermarket Hu Install - SL8RZZX3 - 06-19-2005
OK i plan on installing my new deck today, i think i have everything i need so that i can just do it and get it done.......
But i have one question, the harness i bought is for a cougar since i haven't been able to find one for the focus.
When i pulled the focus deck out the other day i saw that there are 3 plugs off the harness ( 2 big and 1 small plug), now the adapter only has the 2 big SO what is the little plug on the harness for?
On the single disc it goes in the middle of the two and on the 6disc it plugs in off to the side towards the passenger side. I also noticed it's different on my 2002 ZX3(smaller yellow plug) than my Moms 2003 ZX5 (small black plug) which seems to have more prongs.
So do i have the right harness or do I have to go buy a different one?

Just leave that little one, its not needed. I belive thats for the automatic volume of the factory deck. I think it was a setting called AVS or something, when you go faster your volume goes up and when you slow down the volume goes down.
Your gonna use a solering iron and heat shrink right? ;)

Cool i never used that stupid thing anyway, seemed like a good way to blow your speakers to me!!! :lol: :lol:
And yeah a soldering gun and heat shrink will be used! Not by me, i'm too clumsy with little s**t like that but my cuz and his buddy are real good like that! :D

Oh yeah one more thing....... :D
Any suggestions on where i mount the A/V unit? It looks like i have 4-6 feet of harnesses that all go to the A/V unit, nothing actually plugs into the HU it all goes to the A/v unit???
I'm thinking in or around the glove box, because i think i also want to cut out the front of the glove box and mount my PS2 there......
Any better suggestions?

depending on how big, there is allot of room under the drivers side dash where you could zip tie something up.
I know I put my remote starter unit there and it was quite big, I had allot more room to play with too.

Behind the glove box is easiest, because that's probably where you'd be putting the PS2 anyway

Planning on picking up a full size spare that will fill the well and cutting the hatch floor(the mdf one i bought) around the rim........
But might not happen till the end of the season or next year.

Damn... I'm at a loss then. how big is the brain on this unit. Could you possibly hide it under the back seat. so you can up the seat to get to the wiring?
