WINKJ Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I have just wired up my new HU, manage to get power to it, but no sound from any of the speakers. my dash is in pieces so would appreciate any help! pics: photo5 by Winkj, on Flickr photo4 by Winkj, on Flickr photo3 by Winkj, on Flickr this wiring on this isnt sealed yet, just soldered. . . its the steering control, and the amp turn on, ALSO - the 3.5mn jack is atttached, I don't have a 3.5mm jack input oin the back of my hU so was told that splicing it to this should work. photo2 by Winkj, on Flickr photo by Winkj, on Flickr HELPPPPPPP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Looks like you have wired the amp remote to the steering remote... So the amp isnt firing up hence no sound The steering remote wire is only spliced to the steering wheel adapter where you cut off the 3.5mm plug, like this - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spursmaddave Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 The amp power lead is connected to this one on the loom This guy put spade connector on his but you can just splice it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Sorry if I hadn't been back to work this week I would have taken some pictures for you as I had a Pioneer which is what the guide was done for and a JVC which has the same connections as yours so have had the same problems as you to sort out Once you get the pre amp out sorted you should be fine as long as everything is earthed and best thing is the JVC has a built in booster so you don't need line boosters either Hope you get it all sorted, sounds like you are 99.9% of the way there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WINKJ Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 Right! Don't go anywhere, I need to crack this I have the cable the same as the one in the above image, but I don't have anywhere to connect it to! I have a blue and white cable coming out of the back of the HU but it isn't loose like in the image from the pioneer thread. It is connected into the loom, let me know if you need a pic James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Should be the blue & white wire in JVC connector like in the pic (No 5) PDF Link - http://a248.e.akamai.net/pix.crutchfield.com/Manuals/105/105AVX640.PDF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is connected into the loom, let me know if you need a pic James Thats the one, I can't remember if I spliced it or rerouted it when I still had the bose amp, now I have a seperate one it is obviously spliced Sorry some of my help has been a little vague, most of what I did was over 2 years ago when I fitted the Pioneer, but luckily I had a bit of a refresher when I fitted my JVC a few weeks back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WINKJ Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 Yeah I do but it's not a lose cable, it is in the loom and attaches to a ict connector in a block connector. Cable A in that diagram is the blue and yellow one for steering controls which now works, you want me t email you a pic of the blue and white cable?

spursmaddave Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Email replied to :thumb: Just strip off a bit if the blue/white wire from the JVC, splice the spare loose blue/white one from the ict to it and you should have sound Good luck in the morning, technical support will not be up till early afternoon im afraid as im working tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummybird Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Hi Guys, They look really good!!! I am glad I have just bought the JVC head unit Can I ask, where did you get your double din fascia from? Thanks Lyndsey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WINKJ Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Lyndsey - which JVC unit did you get? take a look at this viewtopic.php?f=27&t=16403 - this will tell you exactly what you need to order - plus Sextons are really good!

brummybird Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Hi Winkj, I bought the JVC KW-AVX740 Thanks for the post. I looked at the double din fascia's and thought that I had ordered the wrong one but luckily I haven't (phew!!) I fitted it on Wednesday/Thursday but now I have blown my rear lights. I think it may just be a fuse but I am running around in my husbands putt putt until Saturday. I have read online that if you get the aerial wired wrong it can blow the fuse so I will start there as the radio isn't working I hope yours is working well!! Thanks Lyndsey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WINKJ Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 Yeah it works fine, you not have any other fitting issues! The ariel is a straight plug in. Pm me if you need help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummybird Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I didn't have too many issues but my problem is when I want to do something I do it..... SO sometimes I can get carried away with trying to shortcut things before thinking. This is probably why my radio doesnt work!! I have replaced my rear speakers (on a new amp) with 2x focal's and 2x JVC's low end bass (not subwoofer). The JVC's were going to be my subwoofers but they are crap on what ever amp I put them on. My other half has given me his Hertz amp and subwoofer so I will be fitting them at some point. I will then look at replacing my door speakers and tweeters. I haven't decided what yet. Thanks for the offer of help, its much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
