hi all,

in my r32, i have an aftermarket head unit (a jvc) so the two buttons on the dash head are not used. i'd like to connect them up to something, preferably the head unit (e.g. next track, previous track). is this possible??

here are the buttons i mean:

anyone have any ideas?

cheers,

I wouldnt like your chances of getting it to work with your aftermarket radio like you want. there could be a way of doing it, but if you dont know electronics.. forget about it. You could use them for other uses, but they DO NOT handle high current through them, so be warned.

hmm, thanks chaps. i had the dash off yesterday for another issue and had a look at the connection - they share a plug with some other stuff i think (only looked at it briefly). i might have a hunt around and see what i can find out.

If you feel like it, you could quite easily hook it upto an aftermarket radio if you're handy with electronics.

Basically, if the radio has a remote control, you need to pull the remote apart, join some wires either side of the (Forward/Back) buttons so that they use switches on the dash.

Then, desolder the IR sender, and attach a long cable to it. Now, mount the IR sender up in the roof (Aimed at HU), hide the remote behind the dash and use the buttons away.

Obviously that's a "brief" over view, if you don't understand what to do once the remote isp ulled apart, this job isn't for you.

to switch the laptop on the radio button provides a momentary contact:

Basically find two points on the laptop (I used the docking port connection) that when shorted turn the laptop on. You could also solder wires to the laptop switch.

Run these two wires to the radio button switch. There should be a small black connector with 2 wires in it that is located behind the stereo slots - connect each wire to it - done

(Only the 'FM/AM' button works - I don't know how the 'tune' button is configured as yet)

(I've added more pics to my thread if you want to see more details on the install)

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
