Some genius broke into my precious VL commodore last night and stole my super expensive and high quality Sony Xplod head unit. It's awesomeness predates removable faceplates and high powered outputs (it was only 4 x 45W).

I fully expect the genius who stole it to get about $20 for it on the street so he can continue his ice habbit, however I now have a hole in my high-powered, high security vehicle. Does anyone have a shitter old head unit they don't want anymore (or would sell for <$30) just so I can listen to the radio. This car was only temporary while I do some work on mine (which is almost finished, hoorah!) and I only used the CD player for the radio because I don't think the CD player actually worked.

Anywho, If you see some dodgy bastard trying to sell a very old and used sony xplod head unit around Melba, punch him in the kidney for me.

Hey Leshy,

I have an oldish JVC that you can have for $20, I think Ive still got the wiring and plug for the back of it too.

I think it still plays CD's (not very well though).

Its yours if you want it. :blush:

Awesome, as long as it plays FM radio I'm happy. What are your movements for the next few days?

I just checked the car over. They stole the interior light bulb, busted the drivers side lock, yet they forgot to take the plug for all the stereo wires, so not only did they steal a crappy head unit, but it won't work without that plug. they must have been the SMRT ones

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
