hey guys, i bought a addzest tv deck frm one of the guys here today....

and what i did was, i took out my dash today and i put it in.

worked fine...joined all the old wires to the new wires...this is my first time doin it so i joined the wires by just twisting em together and then taping on top of it. same colours to same colours and it worked a treat.

went out, drove around etc and the deck was alright

so i went to strathfield and got a FM Band Expander.

came home, took it out once again, realized the band expander needed power supply. so my old deck has a diagram above that tells you what colour does what so i saw that power lead was yellow.

so what i did was i removed the tape from the part where i joined the 2 wires together to expose bare copper wires, and i joined the band expander power there.

then i connected everything such as antanna and everythin to test before i tape it and screw it back in.( didnt solder. didnt have time)

turned on the car altho didnt crank...just enuff to get the radio goin...worked...heard some music, so tried to change channels...

the next thing u know, i heard a slight click and the next thing u know, the deck wouldnt work at all anymore...

i removed it and reconnected it and etc...took out the battery and put it back in.. still doesnt work now...

what happened?

even when i remove the band expander and connect it directly now, it still doesnt work...

any help? dissapointment...just bought the damn deck today...

thanks a bunch in advance guys

by the way, in between the yellow cable, from the car to the deck, there is a black box, what is that?

is it short circuit?

See the problem is these days is that when we suggest people take their cars to qualified installers and not touch it themselves, the afore mentioned people think we're suggesting they're stupid? :D Believe me, we're not.

Guys, please take your cars to installers rather than attempt this sort of thing yourselves unless you're 100% confident.

streamer, I can think of about twenty things it could be based on my experiences over the years and I urge you to take it to someone before your entire loom goes up mate.

I mean no disrespect but sometimes it's best to let the professionals take over. I suspect this may be one of those time champ. :D

i agree with u entirely Fhrx...

and haf agreed with u since the time u told me that afaik a few threads back...

:D

but nevertheless, i already had an appt with the installer, a professional audio shop tomorrow morning and the problem is that i was too impatient, wanting to see how it works....

so i decided to give it a shot and if it works, oh what the hey

if it didnt...oh damnn....haf to wait for the installer tomorrow then

of which it did so i was real pleased...and nevertheless, when i put on the band expander, there it went.

i wanna know one thing tho, can i be sure that the deck is still in workin condition and just one small thing or sumfin here or there is not workin?

thanks guys

      Rebuilt Rb25det issues

      By KyoyaR33 · Posted

      Howdy all,   I had my rb25det S2 rebuilt and finally started it today but have run into a few issues  Engine sounds like a a diesel easiest way to summarise like small ticking, gets louder when revs are slightly adjusted  The engine builder repainted the engine cover leaving no where for me to go off with lining up the CAS so have it as central as possible so not sure it that could be affecting it?, changed the gearbox fluid too but won’t seem to go into gear when running, and only 1 to 4 when off having a hard time finding 5th and reverse anyone got any ideas or a base for me to start off? much appreciated

      Well, no. It's an 023, which is pretty similar to an 040. Although it is hard to tell from the specs, as given.

      My R32 Money Pit & The Headaches That Come With It

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Hmm. Maybe the (other thing I forgot about!) Haltech removes at least some, if not all, of the problem I described. I guess there is still the possibility of getting it wrong if the AC is set up/wired up for the Haltech as if it was in an R34 (simply because it's on a Neo), and that's playing foul with the R32 AC computer.
