ok now ive just read through this whole thread and im still lost, ive got a factory tape deck/stacker setup, ive got the plug with the 4 wires that someone said was for satnav plugged into my headunit, so ive got 3 plugs in the head unit and one empty socket, i also have a round socket 5 or 7 pin i think, with nothing plugged in to it. there was also a frequency expander in there that the plug broke off when i was poking around. and there is an extra plug in there going no where. can anyone shed some light on this??

We need updated photos... although I managed to swap the radio (even though i'm pretty sure I blew a fuse so it doesn't work lol) it would still be nice to have photos for others wanting to know.

Take some photos and post them up, it will make things easier to identify and get help! :P

The round plug is an 8 pin Din plug, that connects the Xanavi to the HU. Supplies the audio from Xanavi, Combo power on trigger, Aux on trigger and the Aux request wire.

The Left hand lower plug is the constant power, ignition on, and the LH/RH speaker wire. I can't remember whether it's front or rear. The right hand plug with 4 wires is the LH/RH speaker wires. Again, I'm not sure whether it's front or rear. The top left plug is the plug that goes off to the stacker. Do you have a patch lead between the main chassis loom and the bottom left plug? You may find that you do and it'll have 2 wires a yellow and red. The is the constant and ignition wire for the stacker.

yer that would all make sense, now i just need to work out why my climate control light on one end has gone out. there is also 2 diffrent plugs in behind my headunit that are just sitting there on the loom goin no where, one looks like it might be for the ok meter type guages that replace the clock but thats just a guess. does anyone know if the stacker will work with newer clarion head units? i just dont want to take it out and have nothing in the whole.

i'm in the midst of installing my dvd/tv double din stereo

reception is rather poor although i hooked up the amp wire to the black with yellow

well actually i spliced it into the loom and left the plug connected.

the old FM converter was spliced into the nearby constant acc power for the ciggy lighter, so after reading THE WHOLE THEAD and not just the first 4 pages i'm going to separate the loom and try running 12v acc to the black with yellow.

the unit i have has digital tv and i have put the arial into the roof above the hoodlining - but i can only get abc 1 2 3 and 24 and with a rather weak signal. i'm a little reluctant to mount it on the outside of the car as the cable is not very long and therefore i cant put it near the back wing like i had hoped.

where has everyone else hooked their arials for DVB???

i'll post an image if the unit in the day light tomorrow - but while i have it out i'll finally wire the boost guage i have up to power as its been 3 months with no guage at night lol!

wires as stated in first post were same for series 2 and never double checked them, just spliced them into a new loon and plugged it in (put the old one in later if i wish)

thanks heaps for this DIY!

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but i just ripped out my head unit to reroute the ipod cable, and moved the cable and now its not working. tested the connections with a multi meter, and i have Constant but cant get 12v+ to the stereo? Any help would be great.

You mean you have no 12V at the supply to the stereo? Have you checked the fuse in the fuse box? Also check the inline fuse in the wiring behind the stereo. You might have shorted something and blown the fuse.

I have replaced the fuse in the fusebox as that was blown, where abouts is the inline fuse? How far in behind the stereo?

i think he's talking about in line of the power wire coming from your hu

it may or may not have a fuse there also

or perhaps there's a fuse directly in the hu?

So is there any other fuse or anything i could have tripped other than the audio fuse in the engine bay? Becuase i get 12V+ at the fuse , i also get 12v constant from the brown plug i just cant get acc to turn on.

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Did some maintenance on the MX5, did the engine oil and filter which was uneventful, then I drained the coolant to put in the new reservoir and a thermostat, reservoir took 5 minutes  The thermostat, well that took.........3 bloody hours, what a job, the issue was the 3 bolts holding it on, one was easy, 2 were hidden and required a few 1/4 drive extensions, 1 more than I had, and a 1/4 swivel, which I also didn't have, and a good amount of playing contortionist  Getting the 2 unseen bolts back on was a time consuming nervous nightmare, as I couldn't see where they went there was alot of stabbing and hoping for the best, trying to line up a 8 mm bolt straight, which you cannot actually see or get a hand in there, with a 1/4 swivel in the mix was a nightmare Anyways, it's done now, all burped out, and run up to temp a few times, happily no leaks thank Jebus After the thermostat fiasco I decided I need a few mental health days away from tools before doing the rest of the servicing on it As for the Dunnydoore, it had the aircon regassed and it has a clean bill of health, thinking about taking it out on Monday for a cruise down the coast to look at some houses if weather permits

      Duncan's Race Car - The Most Overdue Build Thread On Sau

      By Duncan · Posted

      In other important race car news, instead of fixing the race car I changed the crank seals on the chainsaw, because wood burner Some damn tight (and lock tighted) m6 head bolts Who knew plastic crank cases were a thing! Quick tip, don't trust the youtube videos that say you can pull the old seals out with the head on in a husky 440e...not true, their crank seal tucks in behind the cover both sides. I'm not sure I'm a psychopath, but these things are damn loud....hope I can put all the bits back in the right place    Happily, it is now back to turning fallen trees into a combination of firewood logs and wood chips....just need a clear day to get into it properly

      Don't forget to make sure the tank is full to the brim before you try to replace the fuel pump too, that is an essential step.

      Arm ball joint

      By Duncan · Posted

      No, 260RS/4wd stagea is 33 GTR/GTS4 double wishbone all round, not struts. The 2wd cars are confusingly strut front. At there rear there is one balljoint at the outer end of the lower control arm. If you have HICAS (my Stagea doesn't, but I think 260RS did, there will be a balljoint of sorts where the HICAS arm attaches to the rear of the hub At the front, there are ball joints either end of the lower control arm, plus the tie rod end for the steering arm
