Sony F5700 issues...
Self-installed an F5700 into my Altima.
Wired everything accordingly (AFAIK) and plugged the antenna in. Problem 1: No AM reception and barely any FM? I just unplugged the antenna from the factory into the Sony... Problem 2: The AUX input are the two RCA females on a cord attached to the back right? I plugged in a walkman and MD player (with a Y-adapter) and nothing ??? (AUX is enabled). thanks. |

If so, you need to make sure you hook up your power antenna wire from the Sony unit to the correct wire in the harness. Problem 2: The AUX input are the two RCA females on a cord attached to the back right? I plugged in a walkman and MD player (with a Y-adapter) and nothing ??? (AUX is enabled). thanks. That's the subwoofer pre-out. The auxillary input is molded into the back of the case next to the front and rear outputs. |

Cnt help you with the answer to your problem but kinda hoping you might be able to help me ;-) I have just bought my son a CDX-5700 for his first car. Went to install (have done quite a few before) and found that there was no wiring diagram for the wiring harness. Normally there is a sticker on the set outlining each of the wires by colour and their purpose. Dont want to fry it so am looking for help over the weekend. (Number 1 son is 18 and VERY impatient, Monday is such a LONG time away!!!!!)

Harness colors are more or less universal for aftermarket equipment now.
Yellow: constant 12v Red: Switched/accessory 12v Black: ground Blue/white: remote turn-on Blue: power antenna turn-on Light blue: Cell phone mute (mutes head unit when grounded) Orange/White: Illumination--connect to a wire which tests with 12v when the parking lights are on. Speaker wires: solid color is positive, black stripe is negative. White: left front Gray: right front Green: left rear Violet: right rear Buying a wire harness adapter for your vehicle will help a lot. The adapter harness colors should match with the Sony harness colors, and you won't have to try to figure out which wire is which in your car.
