So today i wanted to change my stock head unit to an alpine cda 9847 i got all the wiring diagrams and i put it in. ITs worked but the problem was it wouldnt turn off and i didnt no what to put the Can Buss to so i didnt put it to anything. But i used the switch on to direct power like an idiot. But then i put the orange and white wire the can buss postive to it the switch on wire (red) and it wouldnt even turn on. Can someone plz help me before i loose my mind. All i need is to someone to tell what colors need to go were so it can turn off when my truck turns off. BTW i got a DoDge ram 1500 st. thanks

 

not sure about the wiring. i just went up to walmart and got a harness. $8 and it saved soo much time. id recommend that route

 

The problem is I already cut all the wires and everything is hooked up. I just need to find out what wires makes it turn off and were does it go. Do u know??

 

It's an 2006.

 

hmm. ive got an 05, not sure if theyre the same but i'll go look

 

Yeah they are I think...Thanks man I rlly appreciate..

 

It's not actually but maybe the wires are the same. What wire went to the turn on wire on the receiver??

 

alright, try this.

yellow wire from head unit to the 2 identical grey with red striped wires from truck.
red wire from unit to pink wire with yellowish stripe from truck.
orange wire from head unit to orange wire with grey stripe from truck.

sorry, couldnt really explain it any better

 

Okay thanks man I will.. but what is the red wire from the head unit for?

 

the red wire connects to the ignition and turns on the unit.

the yellow connects directly to the battery and uses low power to maintain saved settings, radio stations, and clock time. things like that.

black is obviously ground.

and i believe orange is for illumination. so the unit dims with your factory dimmer for the cluster and stuff
