Title: Speaker Cable Colours
Post by: 11891952 on January 19, 2021, 12:02
Does anybody know which is + - for the front speakers?  I've got blue and light green, and pink and purple (I think, I'm not in front of it and forgot to take a photo).  Just trying to avoid disturbing the head unit if I don't have to. ;D
Ta, Joe.

Havent got  car near me either to check but can find the installation instructions on the sony website at https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/3864/38640681M.pdf (https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/3864/38640681M.pdf).  There is a chance that the toyota wiring colours might not fully match but position in the multiplug might help you

Thanks all, that tallies up with what I found after some searching on the web;
"Pink is positive, purple is negative. Other side, green is positive and light blue is negative"

I'll save up the fun of accessing the rear of the head unit until I decide I need rear speakers or a subwoofer. :))

Just a quick thanks for all the help.  I now have functioning speakers. ;D   Next job is to add a switch to stop the aerial coming up all the time. :))
