cov350z Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 So I've just done the tape deck mod to tide me over till I get a new head unit. But now it doesn't seem to want to switch to tape when I press the button nothing happens. Didn't press it before I did anything so don't know if it's ever worked any ideas guys? ??

brillomaster Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 if memory serves you have to trick it into thinking theres a tape in there before it'll play, did you do that bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) It's been years since I wrote the guide, but wasn't there a spring or something to be removed? Either that or people were getting a blank cassette, pulling all the tape out of it and putting it in, tricking the system into thinking there was a tape in there. I went for the spring option as the tape being in leaves the door partially open which looks a bit meh. EDIT: I updated the guide here: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/45398-how-to-bose-phono-ipod-hack-guide/#entry686203 Edited April 21, 2016 by Husky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cov350z Posted April 21, 2016 Author Share Posted April 21, 2016 right guys i forgot to click the casset locator back in so that problem solved but as i took it apart i somehow knocked the ground off ( red circle) could i not solder a link to the points circled in blue to re connect?

Husky Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 So you completely lost the solder pad? Yeah I guess if you trace the track to somewhere else and solder there it'd be fine, can't quite see on that pic. Once you've done it and you're 100% sure it's all working, you can put a blob of glue over it, then use a cable tie to tie the wire onto something as strain relief.

Husky Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I'm trying to think if I've seen your car around Cov, have I seen it near IKEA? My memory is going, clearly as you'd think I'd remember a bright red one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cov350z Posted April 21, 2016 Author Share Posted April 21, 2016 most likely my misses works there so pick up and drop her off regularly always parked at the loading bay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I'm not going mad then my mrs works there too, I'm the blue (previously white) fiesta that sits there waiting until the end of time for her to finish. Small world! I think I watched your car being wrapped panel at a time each day you picked her up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Husky Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I did think it was a dazzling Pink. I'm only a **** when I'm raging at people who won't shift up the line when someone leaves the loading bay Britt is her name, i know it's a big place though so who knows how many people they employ in there.
