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??

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.

    • 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)?
