93 3000GT Radio install......Damn, that was EASY!

(trying to find pictures, sorry, broken links)

Well, after 16 years the Stock unit stopped turning on last night . guess it's not an "Infinity" after all .

Picked this up for $25 this morning, missing a button, gonna wire it in and see what we get for a result....if it works PIMP.....read on to see!

Heres a lil How-to for all of you wanting to do this....

---First, you need to get the wiring diagram for the 3000GT unit. it's the left one, with the 2-part connector, they are white. the 2-wire black square one is the steering wheel controls which I am not trying to use....yet...

---then u need the one from the Infinity stereo in our cars:

this one helps:

the RR and LR are the same wire colors on both harnesses. the RF & LF are both Wh/Blu, Blk/Blu, so just use the pins locations like the Rear did for the front......outside is Right (6&14), inside (5&13) is left.....

I just cut and spliced into the stock wiring...if you ever need an aftermarket stereo, just get a harness connector for a 1993 3000GT

After you splice in you will need to mount the radio into the STOCK side mounts. the holes actually lined up perfectly on the far bottom screw, so you still get 2 OEM mount locations!

plug back in the battery and enjoy your AUX-equipped Mitsi 3000GT stereo! and it sounds great!

Very interesting. I may have to try this!

i THINK the F&R are somehow switched in the HU. i have more sound in the back and when i change the zone to the front it favors the rear. I will redo that, but otherwise it works 100% fine. IMHO best alternative setup. that old school equilizer dancing around is the bomb!

Your gauge is crooked sir

looks good though i might try it on my 1g that radio looks awesome

What year and trim?? Did it work with the factory infinity amp fine??

 

[HaveBlue83]

i believe it goes straight to the speakers, no amp involved. pos and neg wires, power, dim, and ant. the dash speakers dont work yet. I'm gonna tie them in later.

BTW, it's a CHASSIS ground, so it HAS to be in the metal sleeve in the dash to turn on.

I'm still making sure the wiring is correct as the sound stage favors the rear....but again the dash speakers aren't on, so that seems to be messing with my ears.

1993 NON turbo Mitsu 3000GT, SE i think. leather seats. its the same radio as the turbo ones. so look for a premium sound optioned one. I am avoiding aftermarket cause old school stock is funny and cool.

So this stereo wont work with the stock amp?.. Clean instal and also might do this depending if the stock amp works with it .

i didnt see a hookup for it in the back. i'm just glad it worked all!
