Ok guys i know I'm probably gonna get flamed for this but I've searched and havn't been able to find a straight answer..

I finally got sick of the Pioneer headunit which came in the Stagea which was in Japanese and CD player didn't work. So for Christmas my misses said she would buy me a new headunit so I took the risk and purchased a cheap Eonon E1012 DVD head unit which i got around to installing today and seems to work fine and for a close to $300 if i get 12months out of it I'm not complaining.

Radio is able to pickup stations fine but as soon as i start driving it drops in and out or has interfearance. All wires are wired up ok except for a blue wire which has a tag that says something about antenna on it. Is this wire ok to connect to the amp control wire on the headunit? Does it require a fuse for safety of doing damage to my headunit or should i connect it to something else?

where did you get this from? i have been looking for cheap touch screen h/u for a while... as for the blue antenna wire, i wired it up to the antenna amp, the radio reception was 100x better, altho i have only one of the two working at the moment.

Just went and pulled the headunit back out and i have a AERPRO FM Expander which connects back the the loom with the yellow/black wire. From the AERPRO FM Expander i have a red wire which connects to the antenna wire on the back of my headunit.

The wire which connects to nothing is a blue wire with two connecters off it that has a tag that says something along the lines of:

System control (Male Connector)

Auto Antenna (Female Connector)

Now should i snip the female connecter off and hard wire it to my Amp remote wire on my headunit? Will these fix my reception issues?

Think i might have just fixed it...

I tried connecting the Amp remote wire to the blue wire to see if it would power up the antenna and improve reception but no difference..

Then i noticed i have an adapter that the Japanese 2 prong aerial connects to which converts to the normal single prong that goes in the FM Expander...

At the moment I'm at work and the car is parked in a underground multilevel car park... I turned the headunit on running through the FM Expander still.. no reception... removed the adapter from the FM Expander and plugged it directly into the back of the headunit.. turned it back on and BINGO! Nearly perfect reception.. Its still not 100% but thats most likely due to all the concrete being in the underground parking.. Will see how its goes on the way home..

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
