Hooking up new Stereo

Post by jrod »

Hello

I am hooking up a new Pioneer Stereo in my 1999 v70. Without a wiring harness, I had to cut the wires. I have power to the stereo. The two problems I have are the radio isn't picking up and i cant get sound to come from any of the front dash or door speakers. The rear door speakers work. This car does not have an amplifier. any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Also i do have the antenna booster wire hooked up (blue)

Got the front speakers working. apparently there are some speaker wires on the connector that has all of the power/ accessory and ground wires on it that have to loop onto the other connector with the Front-Left, Front-Right, Back-Left, and Back-right wires in it.

Still need help with the radio reception however. I do have the antenna booster wires hooked up together but seems there might be even something more i need to do here. Thanks
