pioneer DEH-P3000IB on Mach 460 system
hello, i bought my GT recently, it has mach 460 system and sony head unit. i wanna change it since it only works with a remote and the remote was lost, plus i believe mach amps weren't connected because the sound was very sh!tty, comparing to what is was in my sixer with cd changer.
anyway, i bought a pioneer 3000IB head unit, i wanna keep all speakers and amps, but put the new head unit. i went to my friend to get it installed, but when we connected the wires from sony connector to the pioneer connector, there were 4 wires left with no use. when i turned the system on, it didn't play. one orange wire and 2 violet wires(one with white stripe) and some other wire. i will probably need new connectors, i just wanted to ask which ones? if anyone ever did it on his car i will highly appreciate it. also if someone post out a a PDF it'll be very helpful. i will take pictures of the connector that came with the new unit and the one that i had before.

the orange wire is a dimmer wire that will light the buttons up at night as well as dim the display so it is not so bright, once it turns on. The violet wires are your passenger side rear speaker wires.
Page 2 of my cardomain page shows the mach system and how to install a deck into it. Let me know if you have questions

the way they have it wired it is only driving the tweeters. They bypassed the amps which is why there is not bass. One of the small black/metal hrns's that is in the background of the pic with the hrns you labeled as having no use for is the input for the amp. Try to find a hrns that is a FDO3B hrns that will have a hrns to connect to the small one with rca's on the end. I wired the speaker outputs of the deck into the tweeters the same way the people installed this stereo but I also installed some capacitors inline to take the bass out of the signal. The factory amplifiers and subs will not sound good unless you feed them a 6-7v rca signal. Most decks only do a max of 2 so this is why the line driver is needed.

actually i called again today and another guy picked up. he said the harness adapter kit is $24, it's for mach 460 extra amps and adapter connectors straight from OEM to new head unit.
