Preston Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I have replaced my Bose head unit which packed up with a Sony type for now until I get something nice. I have rigged it all up including a separate earth to the chassis. The unit is working well although I can't get any sound out of it. Any suggestions welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preston Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 Got it sorted, blue with white tracer on adaptor loom needs stripped and crimped to same colour wire on Sony lead (which lies loose) although I stll havn't got my steering controls working!! Im not sure if I have to do any wiring to make it work. The whole things not very plug & play especially as the loom comes with no instructions!

Gilly199 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Got it sorted, blue with white tracer on adaptor loom needs stripped and crimped to same colour wire on Sony lead (which lies loose) although I stll havn't got my steering controls working!! Im not sure if I have to do any wiring to make it work. The whole things not very plug & play especially as the loom comes with no instructions! ah never even thought about that, the remote wire that tells the amps to turn on when the head unit turns on. feel better now, might buy one after all. depending if your steering controls work too lol.

Gilly199 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 hey buddy just got my lead through the post today and wanna get started. Just one question though, the ground wire from the steering control box to the iso with the tab that says cut if you have a sony, pioneer or vdo. does this indeed need to be chopped???
