#1: Unknown Pink Headunit wire Author: Jordy6969, Posted: Mon Aug 19, 2013 11:45 am ---- My 206 is a 1999 Pre-plexed version
I'm in the process of swapping my head units over as the old is knackered.
However I have hit a snag as I have found a pink wire that comes from the car that I am unsure of. I have used a wiring diagram to understand the other wires and what they do specifically.
I know there is 3 wires that go directly into the multiplex top display and the other 3 are as I understand the Earth/Ground, Ignition switch and constant.
Can anyone tell me what colour these 3 wires are on the car as I can't tell what this Pink wire is??? there's a pink one, Yellow and Green, and white.
Thanks in advance for any help

Ye I can do that I know but not got one handy at this moment in time.
Found out the Green/Yellow is definitely the earth/ground

If you are fitting a standard Peugeot Clarion RD1 HU it should just plug in ... if non-standard it would normally come with adaptor blocks and doesn't use the MFD unit at all.

Much neater, easy to reverse and you don't need to remember what you changed if you later swap the HU again or refit the original. Don't change the existing connector that is a trap set to be sprung at a later date.

#8: Re: Unknown Pink Headunit wire Author: Jordy6969, Posted: Thu Aug 22, 2013 2:56 am ---- I have another couple of questions, pretty sure I know the answer but just need to check.
The 3 wires you need to have working correctly on preplexed 1999 206 to ensure that the HU can function properly is the earth/ ground, constant and ignition live?
Also where is the ground from the head unit attached to on the car because I'm concerened it may be a loose connection and want to check it
Thank you

If it is that it will go to the handbrake.
