Default Wire up after market Radio (Joying)

Just finished my wiring harness for my Joying (Android) radio and thought I'd share. I was able to have the steering wheel controls work as well. Hope this is helpful to people: It is good to know that NO mods are needed to your vehicle wiring. Buy this for extra parts/wire. You can eject the wire from the block by poking them out from the pin (non wire side)

Harness tape:
Automotive Wiring Harness Cloth Tape, High Temp Wire Harness Wrapping Tape, Black Adhesive Fabric Tape, Noise Damping Heat Proof (19MM × 25M)(2 Rolls): Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific Automotive Wiring Harness Cloth Tape, High Temp Wire Harness Wrapping Tape, Black Adhesive Fabric Tape, Noise Damping Heat Proof (19MM × 25M)(2 Rolls): Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific

I cut the black wire in 1/2

Then I spliced in Key1, Brake, and an extra wire to loop back into pin 2.

Next, key 2 wires into #3

Finally AMP CONT goes to 5



That’s it

Key1 and Key2 and this video in a way:
, but I was able to accomplish it all from the wiring harness. Enjoy, and I hope to save you tons of frustration and time, and hopefully have others get onboard with the nice rear view camera

thanks I will have to dig back there. The PO had this fancy radio installed clarion back up camera etc and there is lots and lots of wiring.
I will see if that key 2 is grounded.
I hate pressing buttons to turn down volume. I much rather have the oem radio
