hey all

this may sound like a bit of a stupid question but i have gotten an r32 not long ago now and when purchasing it already had an aftermarket cd player installed (Pioneer). Now there is no aerial on the vehicle and when trying to listen to radio the headunit does not pick up any stations. Now i am wondering if this is due to the way the headunit has been wired up? Can you not get any radio reception in the r32's? Or what could it be?

Any help appreciated, just been giving my cds a good work out and wouldnt mind some radio.

thanx

Jason

On the R32 the antennae are the fine wires in the front and rear windscreen.

Is your Pioneer deck an aussie or jap model? The jap models only pick up a few aussie stations as the bandwidths overlap a bit.

If it's a jap deck you could have a bandwidth shifter fitted.

If it's an aussie model then it may not have been fitted correctly. I think there is an antenna booster in the boot of some if not all R32s. I've been told the black and red wire, that is taped to the antenna coax that plugs into the back of the deck, needs to be wired to the power antenna (blue) wire that comes out of the deck so the booster can get 12 volts.

When the factory deck is replaced with an aftermarket deck you need an adapter plug.

The factory plug has 2 pins and the a/m deck only uses the pin from the rear windscreen.

One suitable adapter on the market is Aerpro AP348A.

I hope that helps.

Hey Jaystar,

I have also just picked up an R32 with an after market radio and had the exact same problem as you, no radio reception. After pulling the deck and checking it turned out that the previous installed had not connect the cores of the cars antenna cable to the core of the adapter plug. 10mins and solder iron fixed that problem. Just be careful as the core wires are really thin and can break real easy if your heavy handed.

Hope that helps.

I had the same issue and was due to it being a jap spec radio. Fitted the band expander and all sorted. 2 weeks later i just bought a new headunit.

ok guys i found the black and red wire which has a little plastic connector on it.

Do i remove it from this connector and add a metal male connector on the end of it so i can plug it into the blue and white wire coming off of the headunit?

is this all i have to do? or do i have to do something with the 2 pin connector also?

it looks like an aerial one but doesnt fit on the headunit.

i made an error the current headunit in it is a jvc kd-sx695.

all help appreciated

thanx

ok i have fitted the adaptor so that i can plug the aerial into back of headunit and radio is working fine. Because my aerial is the little wire built into the windscreen do i still need to hook up this red and black wire to the blue one out of the head unit?

because it says auto aerial or something like that?

if so can someone explain why to me please.

thanx

yes you do. that wire runs a small antenna amplifier. if you switch to AM you will notice that it doesnt work. FM around the city will be fine but outside of it FM will be patchy.

connecting it up ( blue wire on most radio) to the ant control will solve this problem.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
