Ok, i got my 5443 in the mail, and it has decent wire lenghth on all the wires. the only problem is, is that there are 7 wires that are unlabeled. The power ground, phone mute, illumination,power antenna, amp control, backup and accessory are all labeled as well as the RCA line in/out, front 2 rcas and rear rca's. but i have a green with black rings,(stripes around the wire) purple with brown rings, grey with black stripe and brown rings, purple with stripe, white with black stripe and brown rings, white with brown rings, and grey with rings. i dunno what they are for and they looked like they were hooked up before.

Also, what is this box that comes out of my HU that says, "To prevent noise, place this cord as far as possible from the antanna, speakers and signal" and on the actual box it says, "Please cut-off the power supply before connecting or disconnecting this connector, to prevent trouble.
*Please remember to screw back the connector's holder after connecting."


i have no clue what this is.then it has the ecilpse commander connector digital out, then it has what looks like an old school keyboard plugin and then a squarish female pin connector deal.

If someone could tell me what i could do to clean up the buttons and stuff cuz there is some grime, i would be SOOO happy.

Need pics, then I could help you.

member# 2498 and YA I'm a girl, okay!

for the wire color info, go here:

scroll down to the yellow part (called "radio wire and color code information", its about 2/3 of the way down). green, purple, white, and grey are the standard for speaker wires. the colid one is the +, the striped ones are the -.

here is some pics. im assuming those 8 wires, not 7, sorry, are for the 4 speakers.
