Hey Everyone,

Just a quick question. My auto up aerial is broken, and makes a hell of a racket for about 30 seconds when the car turns on and off, trying to go up (but can't). Does anyone know if there is a fuse which controls the aerial only? I have tried rummaging around inside the boot, but can't reach the aerial cabling. I assumed the aerial wire into the back of the head unit, if disconnected, would stop this from happening, but the head unit is turned off - still happens.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Brendon.

Hmmm who ever wired up your head unit is dodgy... as it sounds like they wired the aerial into the Accesories rather than the head unit itself. I know this because I installed my own head unit and the aerial only goes up when the head unit it switch to RADIO (ie it isn't up if im playing a cd)... So you could possibly get it rewired at whatever cost if there isn't a fuse to control it...

It's actually the factory head unit. Yeha you're probably right about it being wired to the accessory. I'll have to trace it back or something.

When I pull the factory head unit out I'll see how it is wired, and fix before I install the new one.

Cheers.

Brendon.

same thing with me, it would sound like its goin up but it doesnt actually go up, was never anythin wrong with the wiring coz when i got my new tv/ headunit installed it was all fine, but ive removed the rear antenna now so i guess i dont really need to know how to fix but good to know why it was doin that...

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
