Wrathernaut's Double-Din Installation FAQ, Shopping and Resource List

Alright so I spent around 6 hours today installing my Pioneer 3200BT. Seemed pretty straight forward.. took around 2-3 hours to take everything out and wire it up, but then that's when I started running into issues..
I spent the next 2 hours trying to get the steering controls to work and failed to do so. I don't know what I'm missing. I followed that guide and I made sure I connected the right wires and checked numerous times over and over again then I finally soldered everything together, but it still wouldn't work..
Everything else seemed to be fine, but then as I started driving.. the radio wasn't working that great. Like everytime I hit a bump or something I would lose signal and i'd hear some static. The subwoofer also was really weak.
Last question. What should I set my settings to once I'm done fixing all those issues?
I bought the attena adapter and Metra kit from Sonicelectronix
Metra Axxess ASWC
PAC ROEMNIS2
Bought the scosche DD trim, but don't think I'll need it.
Thanks

If it doesn't work out then I'll make sure to take a picture of everything and post.

Alright I grounded the yellow wire, but it still doesn't seem to be working.
But whenever I turn on the car the black box lights up with a red light for like a second or two then it turns off.
Ground the yellow wire along with the black to the car itself like to a screw behind the radio area.

Remove the harnesses completely, line the wires up nicely and take pictures of them so I can tell how they're wired, and maybe I can see what is wrong.

Wrathernaut, thanks for your great contribution in this section of the forum. With your thread I've been able to find and order everything I needed to do my install. I ordered the PAC ROEM-NIS2, Metra 40-NI10, JDM DD, and Sony XNV-770BT. Once I get my car back I will start the install and do a post in here. Thanks again!

Metra Axxess ASWV vs PAC SWI-JACK
Hi all,
This sticky has been very helpful. My current shopping list:
1) JVC KW-NT3HDT head unit
2) PAC ROEMNIS2 interface
3) Metra 40-NI10 adapter
4) JDM trim kit with Dual AC controls
I have a few questions though...
a) Should I be getting the Metra Axxess ASWC or the PAC SWI-JACK steering wheel control interface?
b) Is there anything else I need to complete the install?
c) Are there any other recommended optional accessories like a wire to connect an iPod or something similar that I might need?
Thanks!
