Hey guys, I have an r33 which after 3 years of barely any problems has decided not to start.

It seems to be a problem with the battery, but I don't want to replace it only for the new one to go flat after a few days.

See I installed a new cd player 2 days ago, replacing my old Sony cdx-l490x with the Sony Xplod CDXGT600UI 200W http://www.jbhifionline.com.au/car-sound/car-cd-tuner/sony-xplod-cdxgt600ui-200w-car-cd-mp3-tuner/649170

I replaced it myself using the connection and wires that were connected to the old unit. Now today the car just won't start.. I've disconnected the new unit and tried again but no joy.

The connection that came with the new unit has a few less wires coming from the plug so maybe the old connection couldn't handle the load? I really don't know. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

I'll go take some photos or anything if needed.

As above to suggestions

The. When you get it started check the voltage at the battery. Should be around 14.5 volts when running. Leave t run then turn the car off and check voltage while cranking. Should be about 12v with everything off and never dip below 8v I think it is while cranking. Do this and we can tell you if it's the battery

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
