can some one give me some imput on stereo installation on my 00 ram?

i have the two wires that plug into the white connector black purple / black white

then a blue / black looks like ground.


i am getting a ccd error on my mpg cluster.

and i am getting a no bus error on my milage guage inte instrument cluster.

just installing a simple alpine stereo and have the dodge wireing harness adapter.

anybody here have any exp doing this?

im lost!

 

I'm not sure? The wiring harness I used simply plugged into the stock plug after soldering the tag ends to the head unit wiring harness. My ground was a separate black wire that connected via a spade connector to the back of the factory HU

 

yea, get a harness that just plugs right into the stock dodge ones. ground is black on the dodge harness. the purple/black wire is a speaker wire I think, and the white/black wire is also a speaker wire, there definently not ground. I hope you didn't cut up the stock harness, otherwise thats gonna be a pain to sort all the wires out.

 

there is 2 large connectors and this one small white connector though that is seperate.

 

Some stereos have an extra single wire connector that feeds a power antenna.
On my Sony this was used to power the in door amps that come with an Infinity system.

 

Is this plug on the Alpine radio??? or in the stock wiring. If in the stock wiring it could be for the steering wheel controls if you have them. Just a thought.

 

no i have read the manual these are for the ccd bus? one is labled + the other -

 

Try leaving those wires disconnected?
If I read my manual right these wires are for detecting errors in the wiring system.
CCD-The Chrysler Collision Detection (also referred to
as CCD or C2D ) data bus system is a multiplex system
used for vehicle communications on many
Chrysler Corporation vehicles. Within the context of
the CCD system, the term “collision“ refers to the
system’s ability to avoid collisions of the electronic
data that enters the data bus from various electronic
control modules at approximately the same time.

 

I got it all dialed finally it sounds awesome, I will snap some pics of the sub boxes i had built that fit underneeth the rear seat, I had 2 boxes build by my buddy that is a carpenter and they are really nice sealed with silcone and slide under the seat, I was able to run 12s. He is thinking about selling them if anybody is interested.

so stoked it hits so hard.
