Hey all,

Im trying to install the steering wheel controls and ive connected the 12v wire for the LEDs. The 3 wires that come out the back of the clock spring i have the following questions.

1. To these wires come out behind the stereo to connect to or should i cut them at the clock spring.

2. The sony control plug has red, white& black wires but the clock spring has red, yellow & green. Does it matter what colours i attach to to allow the steering wheels to fuction properly and does anyone have a match up guide for this.

id say as a mass produced car with many options. one loom was made with many connectors for the many options available. cost/time. will be following as i have steering wheel controls that come to plug behind stereo just cant get them to work with my head unit

Ok so think i have worked it all out

Black - Yellow (earth)

Red - Green (imput 2)

White - Red (input 1) green in picture

That looks right from what I recall, as long as your head unit can handle resistive controls and you can teach it what the buttons do you're all good. If not you'll need an Axxess ASWC-1 or PAC SWI etc.. adaptor. I grabbed an ASWC-1 when i was going to drop a single DIN cheapy in but ended up going a different route.

Cheers mate. I saw that the other day but with mine being a double din i may not need that control box. Once i get a break from the long work hours/daddy duties ill know a little more. Ill take alot of photos throughout the process for a quick writeup with double din (sony) for future installs.

Ok. I have found my error. I cut one of the unit control sensors (white) instead of a led earth (pink) as per commsman's write up as my unit did not have this wire. I have recently added in a wire to earth it out. I have tested once i discoverd and corrected the issue and it works with my sony double din without the control box as per last post. So here are some pictures for reference. (No i will not be leaving the wiring like that.... it was to test. 90dbd6e1ddcffd7acd14b1a2945e2464.jpg7334c43d2567627aecd017003b9cbe07.jpgb2b9f4aff0729dac6edda2f24fba0485.jpg5b10fe5874788de19bdaf8ab64a22762.jpg5a7a603ac8a5d88a964862caca7be883.jpg

Good to see you have it figured out

That might be what i need to do with mine. As soon as i would plug connector in back of stereo it would turn off. I have an earth wire just floating about. I really dont want to be pulling all the car apart again done it 5 times since purchase haha

The plug is there. Mine was taped to the main harness out of the way. The yellow wire is the earth as per previous posts. Turns out my 2 units are not LED but as i have it working im not too fussed.

im still confused lol.... Would love a write up on how you sorted it all out mate and to add job well done bro! [emoji106]

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
