Hi guys,

Kinda new to all this and have the standard climate control in my series 2 stag.

I want to put in the xanavi unit in and was wondering if this was possible by just wiring up the climate control to it to get the unit to work just for that or would more work be needed? If there is a wiring diagram for the unit that someone can post up that would be great or point me in the right direction.

Thanks

I had the xanavi unit in mine (with integrated air conditioning controls)- why would you want the xanavi unit? In addition to the xanavi unit you need an override box that allows the screen to stay on when driving (I paid nearly $100 on yahoo).

If you already have the single din air conditioning unit you are much better off going after market. More inputs, can play more formats, Bluetooth, maps, better resolution...

Can't think of a reason to use the xanavi unit other than you have one laying around or to save some $$.

I just want it for the touch screen controls and the look of them... thats pretty much it. I do have one that works and since its there id like to use it to fill up all the gaps nicely.
Its only going to be used for the a/c controls and if i get bored ill rig up something to the tv tuner at a later date

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
