Hi everyone, I recently picked up a 1996 240SX, my background in car/audio is:
I go to Ryerson for Theatre Production, one of my strengths was Sound, so I'm not completely new to sound terms, designs, and theories.
But car audio is a new game to me.
I haven't done any electrical work on cars really but I'm comfortable under a car, in a car, around a car.

My issue:
-got the car with no deck
-found out car had aftermarket speakers, so I'm assuming it also had an aftermarket deck.

What I'm dealing with:

The deck I'm trying to install:

(Sony CDX-GT210)

The car has a 4 speaker setup (LF, RF, LR, RR).
After referring to the install guide: http://www.docs.sony.com/release/CDXGT210_Installation.pdf
and looking at the wiring coming from the deck and my car, I concluded that I think it should just be same colour to same colour.

But the Red (+12V Ignition) in my car is connected to a blue wire ("Antenna REM") as well as the Red (+12V Ignition) has a 20A fuse spliced into it...I am confused at this point.

If anyone could push me in the right direction that would be awesome! I don't want to pay someone to do it since this seems like something I could do but I'm just running in to these small issues..

thanks!

-In DCS0058, that's ur antenna plug.

-Speaker wires, since they are already spliced, they are color coded correctly. Just match them up.

-The red wire in back of the headunit, ACC, is a 12v line that is to actually power the nit.

-The yellow wire is was keeps the memory of the headunit, it needs to be hooked up to a constant 12v line. So find a place to hook it up. that meens it has to be "hot" even when the car is off. Most manuals say directly to battery nd that's why they supply a fuse in line with it.

- antenna Rem is for power antennas to retract or expand. It depends on ur car. If the 240 has one then hook it up, but some headunits dont come with one. Note, blue/white wire in back of headunit is not the same.

$50-60 at any shop will get your wiring sorted.

Your Nissan came with a 'diversity antenna' which means there are two antennas in the car and the factory radio would continuously monitor them for the best signal. Just use the end that plugs into your aftermarket deck and ignore the other.

Thanks for the warm welcome and the tips.
Sorry if I wasn't clear, but the fuse isn't in the constant yellow 12v line. It's spliced into the 12v red(ACC/IGN) coming from the car.

I wanted to try to do this on my own =P.
Thanks for the tip about the antenna options!

I'm guessing the 20A fuse wouldn't hurt anything even if I left it in so I guess i'll just leave it in.
