Nordic GT Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 I have just installed my Kenwood headunit with the ICT leads.All is working well apart from there are frequent Interuptions in FRENCH. I took the head unit out and plugged the BOSE back in and it is still spouting french.Has anyone came across this.PLEASE PLease help it is driving me mad. Quote
kObi Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Sacrebleu! Sorry, i know its not any help, just never had the opportunity to say that. Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 check the kenwood website as they have lots of the manuals on there. What HU is it? Quote
Nordic GT Posted February 19, 2009 Author Posted February 19, 2009 lol It is nothing to do with the kenwood headhunit.It is something to do with the bose amp wiring. I have the bose plugged back in at the moment and it is exactly the same randomly telling me to do something in french. Quote
BulletMagnet Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 what is getting me is that the Bose is also speaking french tho, is the fault contageous? Quote
rtbiscuit Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 sounds like a case of the rare french audioflu i don't under stand how your amp can be giving you instructions the amp is just an amplifier, its not a receiver of FM signal its like saying the teapot told me to shave your head have you set the radios of both of them to AM frequency or something?

BulletMagnet Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 ...you haven't got a french girlfriend have you? Quote
Nordic GT Posted February 19, 2009 Author Posted February 19, 2009 lol yeah this is a strange one. Nothing to do with the radio I am afraid voulez vouz. It turns the stereo to mute whilst it talks at max volume then once the broadcast has stopped then the radio or cd goes back on. I dont have a handsfree attached so cant think it would be that. This is strange and very frustrating as the system has now been returned to factory and it is still doing it. Quote
BulletMagnet Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 well, since it happens to both the aftermarket as well as the factory HU, I'd guess it's nothing on the car itself. Perhaps TA is turned on and locally it's in french for some reason. I'm thinking, Bose with factory wiring, as in no extra added wiring and then the Kenwood with extra wiring, so it works with the Bose speakers, it's hard to imagine that there is a fault with the car, especially since all of it has been reverted to factory spec. It's got to be the local airwaves. Just my thoughts... Quote

rtbiscuit Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 merci bucket mr zedrush. as for the french talking on the amp, maybe its a preprogrammed testing loop. i.e. its putt on so that they can test an amp with speakers with out having to connect up a radio. if so you may have flicked a switch on somewhere or somehow activateda programme. what is the french person saying. maybe its the clue to turning it off? Quote
Nordic GT Posted February 19, 2009 Author Posted February 19, 2009 It is definately something to do with the Bose.I can hear a relay clicking behind the passenger dash.it clicks then the message is transmitted so must be a problem.I will try and take a recording and try and type up if you could basically translate mate. Cheers Dave. Quote
