Hey everyone, I just bought an Alpine CDA-9847 head unit and I am trying to wire it up to a 2001 Nissan Pathfinder. I haven't been able to find any wiring diagrams or information for the 2001 Pathfinder. I am hoping that perhaps someone out there knows how to install this and has some information for me. If you know or know where I can find the wiring diargrams I would appreciate all the help. Thanks. John.

To clarify where I am running into problems, I don't know which wires connect to the Alpine head unit and I haven't been able to find any diagrams or manuals saying which color corresponds to what. Thanks in advance for any help.

Did you get the Metra harness for your vehicle, it would make your install much easier.

I have the harness that came with the Alpine, the trouble is hooking that up to the existing wires. I bought my car used and the previous owner had some garbage JVC reciever that I took out to hook up the Alpine. The connections from the JVC and Alpine were different so I unhooked the wiring harness completely so now I just have the Nissan wires which need to be connected to the Alpine. If someone knows which colors correspond to what then I would be all set. Thanks for your reply Jazzy.

As Jazzy said, you need a Metra harness. That way, you don't have to guess what's what, and can plug in your Alpine to your factory harness. Pay your local stereo shop a visit, they'll show you what you need.

I can't use the wiring harness because the wires are exposed and I'm dealing with a chopped installation. If anyone has or knows where to get the wiring diagram please let me know. thanks.

There is a guy in the f150.net forums that has a program that gives the wiring diagram for almost any vehicle. He offers it for free to anyone. Just send him an e-mail with your vehicle's make and model and he will e-mail you the wiring diagram. Click here for the link to his post

That dude must not have read the fine print. It could cost him the price of the program for every "free service" he so blantantly offers. People's identities are not hard to find... ...and going on four months now? ------------- Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Yep. I know what you mean. You'd better get yours while the getting is good.
