Schosche Factory Wiring Codes

[jrod106]

I received my Schosche Double Din mounting kit yesterday. On the back of the instruction page there's a small section titled "Factory Wiring Codes" on the Schosche website. I went to the website and entered the information - 2010 Nissan Rogue - and it seems that the only way to view the wiring information is to pay $14.95 for a one month subscription to their site. I was able to find the 2008 Rogue service manual online which has a section in there for the audio and has wiring information. My question is - has anyone paid the money to Schosche to get the wiring information? Is it any more informative than what you would find in the service manual? Is it worth paying the money? I'm not in a huge rush to get my installation done, but I want to make sure I get it done correctly - if paying the subscription fee is worth it, I'll pay it, but want to make sure I'm not just throwing my money away. Thanks in advance for the help.

Actually, the service manual would be the most accurate source of information. You can view the service manuals for all Rogue model years here on NICO:

Even if you didn't have the service manual, the wiring color codes for many vehicles are freely available on the internet if you search for it. No idea why one would ever pay for it!

Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't need anything however - all the color code information was on the bag for the wiring harness that I bought. I used that info (which matched up perfectly to the wiring harness for the radio - JVC KW-XR810) - soldered all my connections, put shrink tubing over each wires connection, and was ready to do the install. 15 minutes to install - probably even 10 (although i still have to run the wire for the bluetooth mic). Looks and sounds better than the stock unit.

Just in case anyone would like the info - below is everything I bought for the install .

Scosche Double DIN kit - NN1644B - $19.95 direct from Scosche, $11.75 from Amazon
Scosche Wiring Harness - NN04B - $12.95 from Scosche and/or Amazon
Scosche Antenna Adapter - NAA2B - $19.95 from Scosche, $9.94 from Amazon

eBay prices would probably be even cheaper.
