I need to figure out how to hook up Sirius and my iPhone to the cobra.

 

Personally I'm a pioneer guy. But it's your car. Look at what other people say about the one you're look at, then make your choice that way. I got my pioneer head unit for $150 but I got it at best buy with a gift card, I like being able to test it out on the demo board and seeing how it works.

 

I recommend alpine I had owned a keenwoods an pioneer not comparable with alpine in any of their models, alpine has a sound processor that separates all bands and gives the sound exactly when is required, your stock Mach audio will increase on power and quality sound, the best part is the music quality

 

I've already replaced it with a kick but pioneer.

 

Null

 

Alpine makes a really good unit as well as Kenwood. Those are probably my favorite of all that I've owned but I've had a few pretty nice jvc and pioneer units to. Almost anything modern will out do your factory head unit and is somethin easily done that don't break the bank

 

hey man do your wipers work when your car is off? my girlfriends wipers when the car is shut off.

 

No they should not. If they do her batter will probably go dead often because it's getting a constant draw on the battery from accessories that shouldn't work without the key in the ignition. I'd get it looked at or replace the turn signal unit on the steering column.

 

**battery

 

you hooked yellow on the radio to yellow on the harness correct? and red on the radio to red on the harness? and your radio works fine right?

 

Yes it does. What did you do to yours?

 

That should no mess with your windshield wipers. If it does, something is terribly wrong

 

i may have a blown fuse. i have to jump the acc. wire to the constant 12v. the acc wire might not be getting power due to a blown fuse. im almost positive thats what it is.

no the acc wire in the back of the radio controls wipers,door locks ect.

 

Are you talking about the Mach 460? Or another stereo?

 

mach1000 but its the same setup as you. all the wiring should be the same. the system is just different. i put a pioneer radio in it. i think ijsut blew the fuse.

 

The only thing I didn't match up was the orange wires coming from the adaptor.. If you have all of your connections done right everything should work. What year is your car?

 

everything is hooked up like it should be except the red and yellow wires, like i said im not getting power to the acc wire. (power to the wire should only happen when the ignition is turned on) since im not getting power to this wire i jumped it to 12v constant wire which is giving the acc wire constant 12v even when the car is off, hence wipers working when car is turned off, the only time this wire should have power is when the ignition is on. There is a blown fuse that gives power to the acc wire at the back of the radio (red wire). i got it all figured out lol. i figured it out after i posted lol.

 

Awesome! Hope everything sounds and works great!
