So i noticed theres only an install manual for 2nd gens. Is there one for third gens that works? I tried in the DIY audio and there was no instruction for a third Gen. Anyone able to help me out here?

So i installed it and followed the wiring instructions. Refuses to work. Nothing turns on. Nothing happens at all.

Check the three main wires. Make sure your earth, (black lead) is connected to something which actually does provide earth. The yellow has to be attached to a solid 12v, find that with a multimeter. The red has to be connected to switched power, again with the multimeter (or a test light) check to find a wire that switches on and off with the accessories of the car. My first guess is that the red wire, the wire marked acc, isn't connected to switched power. Second guess would be the earth connected badly.
Oh and merry Christmas :)

Red/Black - constant 12 volt Yellow
Blue - accessories Red
Earth to dash metal Black

Just check your wiring, and I hope you soldered.

Should have just bought harness adapters for the car and the HU, I was going to crimp and create my own harness but ran out of time and took the easy route :o
