I just want to no what colour does what job on my sony cdx-l480x player just ripped it out my old car and cant find the wireing diagram

Hi,
Click Sony Support link and download installation guide for CDX-L480X that has wires color details.
Thanks.

Hi, we need the year of your Caravan to answer this request. Dodge factory wiring colors can be found here but you need to select the year/model: http://www.modifiedlife.com/request-a-dodge-car-radio-stereo-wiring-diagram/

ok that will work fine please tell me what the problem is genrally if ir caravan had a tape player the plug should be the same as this unit uses a uni plug if not there will be a converter for under 5 pounds

Hi you can get the wire diagram for the radio on the link below page 16

the connections at the back of your player seems to be color coded... try to trace them and try to connect if there is of course red wire directly to the battery and the orange one to the "acc" or the accesories line

I had the same problem, CD not accepted by unit and pressing source button to select CD player causes unit to display reset.
Using reset button just causes unit to 'whir' for a while, problem is not solved. Firstly with unit switched off, and the ignition off I inserted a CD using some gentle force, I then inserted a second CD, forcing it in over the top of the first. Next I pressed and held the reset button for a short time before releasing it. Both CDs were ejected, when the unit had stopped I took the CDs out, replaced the front panel and turned on the ignition, The unit will now accept CDs and eject them O.K.

(This did take two attempts to get right). Seems to reset the eject status of the CD player.
