Wiring of new radio in 406 coupe

Following a previous post, I've deceided to fit my Alpine system in to
the 406 coupe ('99 model 194 bhp V6 SE ) myself.

I've been perusing the Alpine wiring diagram together with the Peugeot
pinouts. The question surrounds the power set up and Block A from the
406 hand book.
It shows;

A1: Car phone Mute lead
A2:-
A3:-
A4+) Perminant
A5+) Aerial supply
A6: (+)Side Lights
A7+) Accessories
A8: Earth

The apline has a 20 amp feed line so I'll connect that directly to the
car battery.

Should I connect the Alpine ignition lead to the accesories or
perminant Pug connection?

Why is there a connection for Side lights on the plug?

Sorry for the basic question.

Any help gratefully accepted

Tony

 

Just buy a wireing harness mate, it just plugs into everything and gives u
an ISO connector, which is all u need.

Cheater you are wrong in this case,

The alpine unit has a significantly thicker yellow power supply wire on it,
because of the amount of ampage the unit draws, these have to be connected
directly to the car battery as the standard wires are insufficient for the
max current draw of the unit....

And we know what happens when you use thin wire and high current draw
devices, heat -> flames -> electrical fire, but not to worry anyone !

You connect the typically Red (Accessory lead) from the alpine to your Pugs
accessory lead, this is the switching connection that turns your HU off when
the key is not in.. Obviously if you want to be able to use the HU without
the car being on or the key in then connect it to the permanent feed.

The connection for the side lights is for a dimming function of the head
unit, as you can appreciate the display of the alpine unit is bright, so at
night when you turn your lights on it dims the lights on the uni when
connected to the Orange illumination wire of the Alpine unit.

Hope this helps )

 

Yeah, so u have to add "1" wire, still no need to hack at the whole wireing,
just put another cable it.

 

Also, pug has its own wire from the bat to the radio, well mine does anyhow.

 

Yeah but it only facilitates for the OEM head unit and it would not be
sufficient for the aftermarket unit. Unless trhe unit was only using RCA
outputrs in which case standard wires will be fine...
