I have worked it out!!!

this is NOT a DIY task. I spoke to clarion USA this morning and grabbed a service manual for a PN-2615 for note taking and comparision to a 2413E /2414E (one is the bose version one is the plain one.)

bear in mind I have BOTH service manuals here to compare with.

two major things differ. Main Processor ( this sets the FM scaling I'm lead to believe) and Radio front end.

for the 2413E the radio front end is setup in this fashion

AM - 522-1620 Khz - 9Khz steps

FM 76.0-90.0 Mhz 100Khz steps

for the 2615E its setup this way:

AM -520-1710Khz 10 Khz steps

FM 87.6-107.9 Mhz 200Khz steps

the processor controls tuning voltage and PLL functions.

externally across the PN-2413E and the PN-2615E they have the same chassis apart from the CD changer. the 2615E changer pinout is 180 deg OUT of sequence with the changer used with the 2413E. that means a full board swap is out of the question.

that leaves a FULL unit swap in which case those WITHOUT the OE Navi option can do it. processor on the USDM unit will run everything. the KEY difference between your radio and the NAVI version is the 8 PIN AUX IN . Cars with out Navi do not use this option. so to fix yours you need a PN-2615E or the COMPLETE ASSEMBLY off ebay.

for those WITH OE navi the process differs. it will require a FM Front END swap and a Processor swap.

currently I'm looking at the USDM items as this is what I have to work with. once Clarion Oz reopens I'm going to look at LOCAL units for a LOCAL processor so you get the correct FM/AM bands

Locally the RADIO front end is setup in this fashion:

FM 87.7-107.9 50Khz steps*

AM-522-1629 9Khz steps

*(you see it as 100Khz. the audio is set up as 30hz-15Khz with the stereo carrier at 19khz. the rest is a guard band)

so if anyone knows where I can find a 350z radio or 2004 Pathfinder radio then I'm ALL ears. and I'm not fussed on the audio side of it (IE bose or not.) as I need the model number of these units so I can compare notes. ideally I would like a chassis to compare against the PN-2413E I have here.

balls in your court now :O

Looks like more mods to do!

My wife's been complaining how 'fuzzy' the radio is... having 101.1 FM & 101.9 Fox stations converted on 81.1 & 81.9 positions, combined with 91.5 Vega in the middle at 81.5 position, 3 stations so closely together is not very good. Vega comes out best (91.5 Mhz on 81.5 position), with the other 2 rather fuzzy or 'ghosting' effect...

Rianto,

yep.

These things will have to be on an exchange basis. it is NOT something I can do on a trip out of town as I NEED my workbench to do them. (sorry victor :domokun: )

for those with 70th aniv. cars these run a DIFFERENT radio ( they run a PN-2615E) the ones I mod currently are PN 2413E.

if someone has a PN-2615 they have pulled out - I'm all ears.

later cars (IE 2004.5 + ) no rework yet. I cannot find a unit that will keep the MD working.

  • 1 month later...

processor swapped out - 100pin ASIC = absolute PAIN IN THE ARSE to remove. putting it back on - easy. no tuner yet (still waiting) so I can't fire the unit up without it having a heart attack.

  • 3 months later...

update:

still trialing the 2413/14 twins.

The 2004 spec radio (PN2613) has been sussed out. I found a processor that will run with it. going to take a bit of fiddling but its definitely doable!!

experiments start once I get the processor here.

need to start on the 2005 version properly now. I'm going nutty looking at 4 schematics/ 2 chassis's at the same time.

Jon Chan,

expect a call on the white car in about a week. yours was one chassis I've modded, no stacker for it -YET.

I did a non bose one first up. the bose version gets donethis week in the same fashion as the other. I'll test mule it for a bit before I go further. short version - it works but needs tweaking so that the whole sytem works as its meant to. currently I run the non bose one without the stacker attached.( I keep selling the stacker thats meant for it!)

only issue with you lot is going to be cost. I'm doing these simply because I was told I couldn't. for a fully reworked (radio and CD) its NOT going to be cheap.

radio only will be a LOT more than the cost of an expander but it will give a fraction of the issues.

put plainly I spend the best part of 6 months on this and I'm not letting it go for nix.

    • Ok i will get those 310mm. I found one but on a different site. This is the description on those...is it ok? Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
