Does anyone know what colour the steering wheel remote control wire is on a panasonic cq-8300 head unit,as i need to connect the patch lead

[Dave DND]

If(!)  the Panasonic is compatable, it will have a 3.5mm jack socket on the back

No socket = probably not steering compatable

Thanks dave,there is no jack socket,but there is five other wires at the back of the stereo which i dont know what they are for.blue/white-remote,orange-illumination,blue-unknown,brown-unknown,and brown/white-unknown,so surely one of those should be the wire im after .the patch lead ive bought just has a bullet connector on the end. :-/

[Dave DND]

Nope, none of those wires are the remote, and if the model number is CQ-C8300 then I`m afraid that it does not have steering control capability -

Not sure what interface you have with a single bullet wire on though - sounds like a Kenwood version - Panasonic would need more than a single wire.

I have a manual for the CQ-C8400/CQ-C8300 if you want me to email it over, if so, send me an email to dave@dndservices.co.uk and I can reply with it.

Sorted dave ,turns out the brown wire i mentioned,actually had a black trace in it,and that was the wire i was after,but thanks anyway for your advice mate ,just got to sort the amp alternator whine noise out now

[Dave DND]

Yep, brown with a black trace would have done it !! Not a colour you mentioned !!

 

Where have you earthed your amp? 99% of the time its the earth to the amp that causes any interference
