In many cases following wire colours is fairly safe but aftermarket stereos don't seem to conform to any particular colour code so in order to avoid an unintended short circuit it is necessary to positively identify the function of each wire/pair of wires.

My advice is to start again, get it right this time and hope you haven't damaged the unit.

How do I add the security code for the stereo unit after changing over to a different unit?

To help further we need to know what make and model of vehicle you have also what radio you have, but usually after you replace the factory headunit in your vehicle with an aftermarket one ie. Gm -> alpine you will no longer need a code because the aftermarket head unit does not have a security system like the factory one

Change out the factory stero for an aftermarket head unit

Once you remove the screws to the console panel and remove console, you will see 4 scews that hold the stereo in tact, remove them, pull stereo, disconnect wiring harness and antennae. If you need a wiring diagram you can go to 12volt dot com or installer dot come. I suggest using the quick connect wiring harness adapter

I need the radio operating manual for a Jeep Patriot 2009 model. Where can I down load it from as the local dealer cannot seem to find a hard copy for me.

following is the procedure. u can also check ehow for more details.
  • Twist the negative cable off the terminal on the vehicle battery, using an adjustable wrench.
  • Remove the factory issue stereo. Pry off the radio trim bezel with a flat head screwdriver. Remove the four bolts on each corner of the radio. Pull the radio out the dashboard. Unplug the thick black radio antenna cable. Disconnect the wire harnesses from the rear of the stereo. Place the old stereo to one side.
  • Prepare the dashboard for the new stereo. Fit the radio installation sleeve provided with the aftermarket stereo to the radio installation kit. Feed the sleeve through the portal of the radio installation kit and bend the tabs on the sides of the sleeve to secure it in place. Feed the audio wiring of the Jeep and the radio antenna cable through the portal of the assembly and slide the assembly into the dashboard. Secure it in place with the bolts removed earlier.
  • Wire the new stereo. Connect the wiring of the stereo to the audio wiring of the Patriot, using a custom wire harness adapter. Push the connections together until they snap into place and test the connection by tugging gently on either end.
  • Plug the radio antenna cable into the alloted port on the rear of the aftermarket head unit.
  • Slide the connected aftermarket stereo into the prepared housing in the Patriot's dashboard. Click it into place in the radio installation sleeve, taking care not to trap any wiring.
