Need Bigger Tires
I really have no idea where these companies that build wiring harnesses get the pinouts for factory units. Like, Metra sells 2 different harnesses for a 2015, 1 of which isn't actually labelled for the 2015 (according to their database) but is indeed the correct one for the Rockford Fosgate systems. Except neither one includes the pins+wires for the steering wheel controls. And, just got my Axxess adapter for doing the backup camera + aux input + steering wheel adapter in the mail today. Except the 2 pins that the steering wheel adapter are using, aren't connected to anything in the vehicle according to the FSM. Because the steering wheel pins should be on the other harness, the one that Metra sells...

Experimentation? Haha. My steering wheel controls still don't work. I need to rip it all out again and put a meter on the wires that come from the harness and see if I can figure out what's up.

I am working on a how-to, part of it is waiting for the few remaining parts to come in. But for my pumpkin, I didnt need the axxess box, I just had to add 3 wires and program them on the head unit. Im also making judicious use of the fsm...

Went and picked up somebody’s dog poop after seeing them leave it this morning. Rang their doorbell and they didn’t answer, so I left it for them. Been that kind of day. When I see them out next time I’m going to tell them next time I have to do that I’m leaving it without the bag. So sick of people.
