I bought a pioneer DEH1500 off ebay that didn't come with the harness and I was wondering if anyone has a good picture of the back of the connector where the wires come out. I need to know which color wires go to which pins. I have the manual so I know what the colors are for, I just need to know where they go on the back of the reciever.

Thx,
Chris

get urself another pioneer harness instead of trying to hack one together. the older DEH lines are all the same.

Harnesses are about $15 after shipping and taxes or $20 from the car audio shops in town. I already have the adapter for the car side, I just want to solder that to the back of the reciever. No sense in wasting $15 or $20 for a $30 deck. I have a Pioneer Premier P300 that still has a harness but I don;t know if that is the same as the DEH 1500. I also have an older DEH 445 to look at, but again I don't know if the colors are going to match. This CD player is for my truck, which isn't really secure because it has the sliding rear window, so I don't want to dump any real money into it since it likely will not last the winter.

Any Pioneer harness that fits will work but be carful, Pioneer has used 4 different harnesses in the past couple of years. The DEH-1500 is not that old, it's part of last years model line. Note that I said any PIONEER harness that FITS (this does mean will fit with use of hammer).
Get a harness for it, you'll be better off.


Editing my edit: 6 harnesses if you include the Pioneer double DIN units.
But at least the harness you need for the 1500 is probably the most common.
