*вЂ™switchedвЂ™ powerwire: wire switches from 0V to +12V when you turn the ignition key from OFF to ON (many cars вЂ“ non Alfas вЂ“ have an ACC key position which also offers +12V) * rather than CANBUS, this wire is the ignition wire in prefacelift 156 (labelled ACC) *triggers headunit into вЂBose modeвЂ™, which includes вЂlow levelвЂ™ audio output, disabling some EQ/tuning functions *applicable only to cars fitted with the Bose stereo *not applicable to non-CANBUS cars like prefacelift 156

Power ISO :В 8-hole plug, wire positions labelled A1-A8 In summary, the AlfaВ plugs have the following wires: **there are 2 steering wheel control wires (RC (wire C11), GND (wire C12)) and a powerwire (RC +12V (wire C10))ДЄlfa 156 nav steering wheel control wires **there are no steering wheel control wires **there is an ignition/switched powerwire (wire A3) and two constant/BATTery wires (wires A4, A7) **there are 3 steering wheel control wires (wires C10,11,12)ДЄlfa facelift 156 wiring schematicВ (photo courtesy of trashbat) **there is an illumination/dimmer wire (wire A6) **there is an ignition/switched powerwire (wire A4) **these cars utilise CANBUS (wires A1, A3) *156 facelift dash вЂ“ similar to 147/GT plugs and wiring pattern but some minor differences *there should be an additional (non-ISO) white plug which can provide useful connections the plug is unused, and I am unsure of its intended purpose (? possibly used with Connect Nav+ system) **there are 3 steering wheel control wires (RC-A (C10), RC-B (C11), GND (C12)) **there is usuallyВ no ignition/switched powerwire **these cars utilise CANBUS wiring for functions like turning the headunit ON/OFF via the ignition key, speed pulse wires, data output wires for multifunction display, dimming the backlighting when sidelights/headlights are ON (wires A1, A3) *147/GT вЂ“ ISO/mini-ISO plugs are mostly the same across these models NOTE: there are subtle differences between the cars, including: Other plugs you may find include: GSM (green square plug), GPS (grey square plug) IMPORTANTLY, these are the positions of the terminals at the back of the headunit correlate these CAREFULLY with the positions in the Alfa plugs in particular, observe the wiring numbers in the C/mini-ISO plugs: This schematic shows the labelling of wires in an Alfa headunit. The letter (A,B,C,etc) refers to the plug/block that the wire is fitted the number refers to the position within that plug. The plugs look like this:Д®ach wire/terminal is given a standardised/ISO label. There are also 3 smaller вЂmini-ISOвЂ™ plugs (C), coloured YELLOW, GREEN, and BLUE. These can be separate, and different colours in earlier AlfaвЂ™s. There a 2 main ISO plugs (A powerВ and B speakerwire), though joined together into a single big one, coloured black. Despite having standardised вЂISOвЂ™ plugs, the wiring pattern does not conform with the ISO standard! I take no responsibility for incorrect wiring that subsequently leads to damage to either your headunit or car. A MULTIMETER is an essential tool for confirming function of wires, and highly recommended to be used.

IMPORTANT: I suggest you have at least a basic knowledge of autoelectrics and how to connect wires safely and reliably, before undertaking installation of a headunit. This is generally straight forward, and explained in many other posts. I will not explain here, the physical removal of the original headunit and fitment of the new. fitting a dashkit fascia which surrounds the new headunit to match the shape of the dash: these ensure a cosmetically вЂniceвЂ™ fitment only the series 1 (pre-update) 156 does not require a fascia catering for steering wheel controls where applicableД¤. catering for Bose amplifier where applicableДЈ. ensuring the powerwires are matched correctlyДў. The main considerations when installing a new headunit are:ДЎ.

This post will hopefully guide people wishing to install their own aftermarket headunit into their 147, GT or 156.
