thanks but got one orgenised allraidy . ty for the head up

XX2 size I am up for one of each color.

spot on! thanks for the head up

new or good condition second hand. Thanks for your time.

Greeting all !! I'm in Maldon, I'm up for a road trip

I brought a 05 plate with Bose set , 68k on clock , partial history 6 months RAC engine warranty for £4.6k so your budget is more them enough to get you a nice Z . Welcome to the Forum.

mine arrived today and well pleased with it . I always have a gobag and a few bottles of water in the car and now it's nicely secured , just right for the job .

Hi , yea i was under the impression those leads where for an external amp . all working now ^^ i'll post a pic once i re fitted the dash board Thanks for everyone's patience

at the moment i only got white and red connected , yellow and black are not . is that not correct ? here a 2 pages quote from the HU handbook or the handbook itself http://catalogs.pioneer-car.eu/Manuals/AVIC_F80DAB_CRD4952_installation_manual/

white and red yes , the black and dark yellow no since those 2 are video in/out according to manual , witch i'm not using at the moment .

Further progress in this upgrade , sound is working but only in the front speakers , now i been playing with the setting , no luck no sub or rear speakers , also noticed if subwoofer turn off in option no sound at all come out , even front speakers .

HAH ! RESULT lol ok so does not sound just right yet but turn out connecting 2& 4 was correct , the unit setting menu has bunch of options which need to be turned on , i'm yet to fully explore that but at glad to report i got sounds blasting out speakers .to my relief i must admit . i side note i do hope those double din carry a cmos battery to keep those setting any how going to play with those setting before i fit the unit proper back in thanks for the helping hands to you both .

ok that didn't work ,using a speaker wire i bridge 1 across to 2&4 but nothing not even a crackle .

i could strip the cable into a domino that no issue , but i don't have the kit to re crimp the leads if that doesn't work . I will try to test that theory with a spear speaker cable (i think ) and try to connect 1,2 & 4 without cutting any cables if i get a sound out them i will cut the cables end into a domino .

ok , well plugged the head unit in , but the same wheel control working , dab finding radio etc .., all seem working except i get no sound to speakers not even crackle . not sure what to next either on the plus side it didn't go boum either.

ok beside the fact that my other half think i gone totally nut for 'playing' with my car at 11pm , it's pitch black outside so i tho this be more constructive for now since ' blue ' cables is the source of my troubles , i took photos of both set of cables and i added a number to make communication easier . if i understand you right 2 & 4 should conected together right ?

that ok i was at work too heh, i will give that a test run shortly . thanks for the headup much appreciated Gerald.

thanks for confirming i got the right wiring adapter , i took a one more photos exposing the cables better , along with another photos with the 4 cables i 'm left with . i can see the cable you talking about , not sure about where to connect to mind you

ok, i kept all labels etc ... here a few pics . thanks for your time

Well , following couple of guide on the forum i tested the pioneer unit , and it's almost working , and for a moment i was very happy with myself except for when i realised no sound coming of speakers , so i'm still researching the why . 2005 reg with Bose audio replaced with Pioneer AVIC-F80DAB - wheel control working - FM - DAB finding radio but no sound - CD running but no sound -sat nav woking and i get nothing not even scratchy sound . i welcome any pointers on what to do next . i checked the wiring to the best of my ability . but i reached a wall on what to do next to debug the issue

Hi, In the process of fitting an AVIC-F80DAB head unit , could someone recommend DAB aerial or point me to a link , i read on the installation book it's recommended a 'phantom power' aerial , a search gave me zillions of links . The car is a 2005 with the bose unit originally thanks for your time.

Hi ! Welcome , it's definitely cute in white with touch of red . nice one

heh thanks for the offer , Love Derby mind you . unfortunately bit busy with work for a road trip much has i like driving my toy . I if i fail to found someone I will make a crack at it but i'm not the car tweaker type especially with 600 quid worth of kit .

Hi, I recently bought a Pioneer AVICF80DAB double dine with the face plate and the right set of cable . i originally also bought or "clic" fitting but turn out the fitting is 4h drive away needless to say ....... I got the fitting cost back without issue and the company admitted the website was misleading and it will get changed no issue there . I rang couple of Commercial audio place and business must be good because they both asked to ring back in couple weeks to make a booking . so i'm based in Essex, Maldon and i'm looking for some one to fit that unit correctly either a commercial / or enthousiaste who know what they doing , fitting can be done at my place or i can drive to somewhere local . cost to be agreed in advance
