Black/Red (below yellow) - Antenna boost. Connect this to your antenna/amp control wire. After a bit of experimentation, this *does* in fact boost the amount of channels I could get, so a good idea connecting this up.

Hi Gordon

Dude pardon my ignorance, which wire is the antenna control wire? I have RCA plugs for the amps and a power antenna wire on the head unit?

Any info appreciated - right now the wire is just taped up inside the console :(

edit: Is there enough info in this thread to request a sticky?

I've just (today) made mounting plates for the fronts. I've also ordered a pair of 6.5's and was hoping to confirm that someone out there in SAU-land has fitted a set already. I used 12mm MDF and the plate fits behind the door np (albeit with some massaging from the jigsaw :)) but wondering about magnet clearance ref the window pane. If it makes a difference, they are Type R 2-way.

I know guys have fit 6's, just hoping the 6.5's also fit. I guess one way or the other I'll find out next week.

PS Vijay thanks for the sticky

hey guys my head unit finally arrived!!! :( i was looking at the manual and looks like a farily easy install, but i was just wondering if mounting brackets would be required to screw the unit to the dash? If so would anyone know where to get them from, because it didnt come with my unit.

thanks

Anyone have a wiring diagram for the stock nissan harness at all or did you all just trial and error for the install. And the other thing is an amp bypas hard to do or would it be worthe just ripping that sucker straight outer of there instead???

The power is on a seperate plug with three wires, using a currenty tester you will work out which is acessory and which is power, the third, and left over wire is not earth, and if used so, head unit will work but fuse for rear tail lights and dash lights will blow (yes i found this out the hard way).

Moral:

Best to run a seperate earth wire.  

To get it out is relatively easy, just pull the dash apard, mainly the surround of the stereo area and the two stero units are conected to each other on the same brackt and come out as a double din item. Very straight forward and plain easy to work out once you start pulling it all apart. MUCH!! easier than a R33.........but they get an easyier amplifier install.

I have blown this fuse as well for the tail lights and the dash lights but cant find the problem cos it keeps blowing as it is grounded. What did you do?

Guys,

I have recently come across this thread saying to bypass the factory amp. I have had a problem recently where i was only getting sound from one of the rear speakers although if i turn the rear wiper on they both go for a while then one stops.

I decided to bypass the amp to see if that would fix it today. What I did was connect the four speaker wires (input & output) and turned the radio on, there was nothing heard. so i removed the four jumper wires and pushed the plug back on the amp and there is still no sound. Also the radio doesn't light up any more or do anything, the only thing it appears to do is eject cds.

Anyone able to give me any pointers? are there more wires on the plug i need to jump other than the eight speaker ones?

Thanks

Hi Sav man,

just curious how you went with your problem, I recently installed a Apline CDA-9853 and have the same problem with radio reception. I thought the antenna cable fitted. Did you need one of these adapters and was did it fix the problem?

thanks

Do you get shitty reception if you only use 1 plug from the antenna.  Cause my car came fram japan with a "fm expander" and only one of the pins goes into it.  And with my new head unit (Alpine CDA-9826) i get crap reception.

you should not require a frequency expander, if you are using a locally sold head-unit.

Just make sure you wire up the antenna power (in the car) to 12v or the antenna/amp control of your face unit.. or you will get only very poor reception. I clearly stated this in the wiring list..

I thought that antenna power was for the antenna's that automaticly rise.

All it does is push out 12v when the unit is turned on (or switched to radio).. this raises your aerial for instance :P Apply 12v, aerial goes up, apply 12v again, aerial goes down. Can also be used to turn on your amp in similar fashion.

But you can connect 12v to it all the time, I don't think it does any damage (mine is connected to the face unit control wire though)

You most likely blow one of the ACC fuses under the drivers side dash, just replace it.

And if you dont have a diagram on your fuse lid here is a helpfull pic of mine:

OK guys, I see everyone else isn't having dramas fitting their head units! I'm more than capable of all the wiring but the dilema i'm having is when my car was imported, it had only the A/C control period! No brackets, no nothing so what I want to now is- - - How has everyone mounted their headunit? Is there a generic part that can be made to fit? Is everyone custom fabricating their mounts, etc?

    • 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.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
