Hi All, 

The Stags finally on the road after weeks waiting on the UK drivign agency to send me the registration. Now I need some help with identifying the harness behind the stereo and also getting the correct ISO harness so I can hook up an android head unit. I have picked up a ISO harness based on the info on the forum but its not correct and won't any of these connectors. 

The wiring in the car is a total mess with what looks like to be various attempts to install aftermarket ICE. FYI - the stereo it came with was the mini disc player and 6 disc cd player/radio. There was no factory option screen/tv but there is a factory reverse camera on the trunk. No idea where the feed for that is!

Here are some pics of the harnesses.

Thanks

Heres an idea of all the f*ucked up wiring I'm pulling from the car. Good news is outside of the wiring and a weak tailgate struts the car is solid and everything else seems to be working.

Ok, took a while but I've stripped out all the non-oe wiring (I think).

I found these two things under the passenger seat carpet. Am I safe to assume that these are not from factory. Etiher way there gone now anyway.

This is what I've found so far under the steering wheel. Anyone know what the white and brown connectors are? and where they connect to?

I'm assuming the whatevers happend to the wires being spliced into them is not normal.

So I think I've figured out the stereo wiring from searching on the forum for a few hours.

I have question about the really thick yellow wire. This disappears somewhere behind the glovebox it was running along the passenger side of the car but not connected to anything. - Is that an OEM wire? 

Another Question - I have a factory reverse camera on the trunk. Should there be an independant wire from this to OEM HU?

Can anyone help out with the yellow wire question?

Quick update: I've fixed the cut speaker wiring, got my ISO harness and connected the new HU. Good news, it powers on. Bad news - NO SOUND!!!! Not even any static. I've searched SAU some posts mention a factory amp and convertor. Would this apply to the PM35 I have with a non-bose HU? Also, where would the factory amp be located? I've checked passenger side rear arch and its empy. 

Thanks!

Am I correct in thinking that the non-Bose HU are non-amplified? - everything on here seems to say they are not amplified, but want to check.

    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
