NX5510 radio plug?

[countrybumpkin]

Glad you figured it out and wasn't a real problem. I did the same thing just last week, while working on the bush hog, had to start the tractor to raise the cutter and shut it off. Went back to working on cutter and looked up and seen radio on, check switch and just didn't turn it back to off just stopped at acc.

I couldn't believe that was what it was, I thought I had double checked it.
Also, regarding the install, I ordered the connecter referenced previously from Amazon, popped out the extra wires and hooked everything up. Worked great with no modification of the factory harness.

Yeah I would rather the accessory position be backwards like most cars and trucks use to be. I just cut the harness and wired in the new radios plug.

I'm going to ignore this thread unless I'm needed. Smile.

Eric, you're always needed. :laughing:

Hard-wired my Pyle radio in on my NX4510 last year just a few weeks before I learned of a source for a factory compatible connector. No big deal, as I don't plan to ever remove and replace the unit as long as it continues to work well.

The Pyle model I have has NOAA weather radio, but no clock. Many times I'd like to be able to just look up and see what time it is without having to pull out my smart phone. Haven't worn a watch in years! But then there is the battery drain concern. Even without that, a couple of times over the last year I've come out to a dead battery after not using the tractor for a couple of weeks. Key was off and removed. I don't think the onboard electronics in the NX are sophisticated enough to have any "always on" drain with key off, so I'm thinking maybe a sticking relay. Haven't gotten around to troubleshooting it yet.

While continuing to ignore this thread (I know), I will offer that my radio doesn't suck the battery down enough to prevent heating the engine and cranking it over in four weeks.

I haven't left it longer but will report if I leave my tractor alone for five weeks or more on this future.

I know I'm coming into this thread - way after there have been many answers - but for anyone in Europe (and possibly the US too) looking for a plug and play solution, then the answer to convert the Original Radio Harness in the Cab version of recent Kioti Tractors To ISO connectors is the Celsus AIS2144 connector.
Just search Google for "Celsus AIS2144" and you should get lucky.
Mine worked like a charm.
If you can't find that, then search for "ISUZU RODEO, TROOPER 1995 ONWARDS ISO WIRING HARNESS ADAPTOR"
That should give what you need.
Below is a picture from the Celsus website.

I don't yet have my NX, so I cannot look to see what the wiring harness looks like. Can mudplugger or someone else confirm that this would be a mate to the stock harness?

Amazon.com: Stereo Wire Harness Isuzu Rodeo 2 3 4 24 (car radio wiring installation parts): Automotive

Also, and just slightly off-topic, what size of speakers can be fit into the existing mountings spots? (or do the cabs come with speakers?)

Diesel, I just looked at the factory OEM connector that I snipped off when I hardwired my aftermarket radio. Comparing it to what you linked to, I can't tell from the picture whether it would mate up. Instead, I think I'd order one of these, which sounds more like what Mudplugger referred to: Amazon.com: Scosche Radio Wiring Harness for 1995-Up Isuzu/Honda/Acura Connector - Sport Utility Vehicles: Car Electronics It's for Izuzu Rodeo Troopers 1995 on. At $4.95 incl. shipping, you wouldn't be out much, and the reviews are better.

Can't help you on the speaker question, but I'm sure someone else can. I recall a TBN thread on it somewhere, awhile back. I think the stock speakers are fine for a tractor, even with a cab. Especially while wearing ear protection! But since you'll probably be removing the cab roof for access to install your radio, now is probably the time to switch them. BTW, you'll need a second person to lift the roof clear. It's heavy. You may also be able to get enough access, at least just for installing the radio, by propping up the roof. I did my install from inside the cab, but my radio is light weight, so I didn't need to use anchoring hardware on its backside.

Threepoint, many thanks for that link! :thumbsup:

I'll get one and have it at the ready. When it comes time to get a radio I'll pick it up and exclaim to my wife: "I'm missing a part of this; I need to buy the radio to make it work!" :laughing:
