hey guys,

Today i have installed my new Car dvd player, everything works, it turns on and played a CD, but there is no sound coming from any of the speakers, i have checked all speaker wiring, played with sound setting on the unit and still no good.

There is a "mute" wire coming from the headunit loom that im not sure what to do with, right now i have left it hanging unconnected, any ideas??

thanks!

So it's straight speaker terminals on the back?

If so, and you've connected some kind of speaker directly to it to test, then (this is a wild guess) perhaps there is some kind of output selection you can do on the unit? Maybe you can switch between RCA outputs (for an amp) or direct speaker hookup (which you are running now)

Lastly, if that all checks out, get a multimeter with a continuity test function, and check that each end of the speaker wire goes to the correct place.

Unplug one speaker, hold probe to negative wire, then touch other probe to the negative(ground) speaker wire that ran into the back of the player (i.e the same piece of wire). etc etc.

Well yesterday I have connected the front running amp (RCA) and rear off the headunit and got no sound at all, have checked wiring, wiring in a skyline is easy to work with and I have used the wiring diagram off this forum which i have used on my last headunit.

Today i will try hooking it up with minimal wires, no amp, just power , accessory ground and 2 speakers....

dvd players are fun to figure out :D

i remember i had a similar problem with mine, took me ages to figure it out... these units have a lot more packed into them, so you have to know what your doing... it was eventually a problem with the DVD player and an output selection...

what kind of player do you have?

Cant agree more. Stick with a known brand. The Ebay ones are terrible. I have had nothing but problems with them. JVC make decent ones that are very cheap now days. I picked up a DVD headunit (without screen) for $350

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Alright. Exhaust has been looked at, and booked in 'soon'. I'm not 100% convinced it's going to be as good as possible but I'm going to go with it anyway. If I get a reasonable thing that works for 10 years I mean that's twice as long as I've lived with the current one. I have a more pressing issue. I have fixed my MPVI3 (by buying a new one). Excellently, one can wire in analog 0-5v inputs to the ECU itself. I had wideband already via Serial so I also wired it in via the direct input. The idea being I can use the standalone logging without a laptop and have Wideband data in it. The other wire I thought I'd use oil temp. This is where I've gone crazy. HPTuners requires you to implement a formula so you know how much volts = how much temp. This seems relatively simple to me. However I cannot find the scale for this anywhere on the internet, nor decipher how to figure it out without removing the sensor from the car. All I know is that voltage actually goes up as temperature goes down. I am using the actual gauge, so I can see what the temp is. The signal wire has been branched off into the MPVI3. EXAMPLE: 2.68v = 58C 2.7 = 57C 2.74v = 56C 2.8V = 54C 3.06V = 49C 3.18V = 47C 3.37V = 43C I think the gauge is 50-150C. It may be more. It may be less, because I can't find it for the love of f**k. It appears all the information about the gauges I have has been scoured from the internet, but the sender is VDO 320.021 I believe the resistance chart is this How the f**k do I convert this to a voltage? Once I have a voltage... I then have to perform this transform of said voltage to show it in the scanner: https://www.hptuners.com/help/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm @GTSBoy you're probably my only hope here TEST YOUR MIGHT

      Here’s the updated and installed muse replica nismo ones … very happy with the outcome. Eventhough I painted my whole rear end due to my rich idle lol.

      Hmm. I had a good look (w/o searching, because I'm not logging in) and couldn't see it either. I distinctly recall the thread, not many weeks ago. It must have been removed or perhaps put into the back section. If it was in Off Topic you should at least have been able to search it up. So if I'm not hallucinating, it is fairly decently removed.
