DJ, what wheels are coming on your Zed? More importantly are you selling them?

I'm not the biggest fan of HDR, sometimes images look to much like CGI graphics, here's my attempt:

If you have Photoshop Elements 6, there are some cool things you can do to RAW images. Here is cut out and below is glow:

So Close! I was in driving underneath the Galleria tunnel at that point.

I think there are 2 blue wires from the pac unit, 1 is the power ariel and the other is the power amp. You need to connect the power amp cable to the blue coming from your HU. No power to the amp, no sound.

I think you may need to hook up the blue ariel wire as well, so 2 blue wires from PAC to 1 blue wire from HU.

Yep, it needs to be directly attched to the chassis. On mine I connected the 2 black wires from the Pac unit to the HU together but also joined another wire which I used as ground.

Think there is a thread, but the Bose doesn't have a proper ground via the wiring loom hence why its grounded by the chassis.

You have grounded it haven't you? black wire to the chasey?

Welcome pal, saw Jay's post earlier and all I can say is you have one mint car

Welcome, but we need pics, pics and more pics!

willo are you will nay ?

Nope, who's Will Nay?

Just came across this website by accident. The cradle here looks the same as the one in the Zed, you don't think they could possibly be the same?

BT module:

I could be completely wrong of course (it has been known).[/url]

Your probably better off getting hold of a bluetooth module, try ebay. I have a Nokia cradle which I'll replace with a bluetooth one at some point.

Okay, so the HU powers up but only the front left speaker works

Any ideas? I have double checked the wiring.

Hi and

Going on 2 weeks with my Zed, 54 plate and in Silver. Still can't get the grin off my face!

you have to plug the blue wire out the back of your new head unit to the blue on the bose adaptor, its the 'remote' line, that tells the amp to turn on.

Cheers mate. I'll give it a go tomorrow, hopefully patience will have come back.

By the way,

Okay, got round to installing my new HU today. Wired up the PAC unit to a standard ISO block and plugged everything in.

The HU comes to life but no sound!! I did notice there was no power but as soon as the aerial was plugged I had power. Am I right in thinking I haven't grounded the HU? The black wire from the HU needs to be grounded?

Cheers, I managed to work out which end goes where, just need to figure how I'm going to wire the other PAC unit I have for steering wheel control. I do miss not being able to control my ipod through the HU.

Blue meanie, I don't have a huge problem with the Bose HU, it's just nice to have all my load of albums on tap. Plus I'm getting bored of burning CD's. Mind you it wouldn't be so bad if the Bose was MP3 compatible.

Guys, looking to replace my HU at some point and have ordered the ROEM so I can use the existing speakers and amp. Well I received the ROEM today but no instructions! Been searching the site but can't find out which end goes where.

Am I right in thinking that I need to splice the wires (2) that go into my HU and plug in the sockets (3) to the amp or the other way round??

willo you need to learn how to quote

Just figured out what I was doing wrong

Original plan was to impose this on post 06 cars but he cant miss grabbing more money so its now back to 02.

Oh FFS! They really aren't doing any favors for themselves. Grrrr.

I'm quite lucky as I work in London so use the train, unluckily only get to use the Z at the weekends!

guys thanks for the great advice...it doesnt sound as expensive as i thought aprt from the bloody 400 road tax what a bummer....got my eye on a azure blue 2004 plate for £13999 on sale with motorpoint.....what you think..sound good or not

Hold on, for a 2004 plate wouldn't the road tax be cheaper? I just got mine taxed (54 plate) and paid £210.

How long has it been between service intervals? Also which one is due next (looking at the mileage it's probably the P3 service). I would personally have the MOT done first before parting cash. No MOT, no road tax.

This is shocking, it seems to me you can't have a nice car without some jealous pr!ck trying vandalise it or some jealous pr!ck trying to steal it. Hope they catch the to**ers!

I thought that might be the case. Looking at changing my HU as well, losing the voice might be a blessing in disguise!

Nice install

Quick question, have you got a factory fitted SatNav and does having an after market HU affect it?
