Hi All, 

The Stags finally on the road after weeks waiting on the UK drivign agency to send me the registration. Now I need some help with identifying the harness behind the stereo and also getting the correct ISO harness so I can hook up an android head unit. I have picked up a ISO harness based on the info on the forum but its not correct and won't any of these connectors. 

The wiring in the car is a total mess with what looks like to be various attempts to install aftermarket ICE. FYI - the stereo it came with was the mini disc player and 6 disc cd player/radio. There was no factory option screen/tv but there is a factory reverse camera on the trunk. No idea where the feed for that is!

Here are some pics of the harnesses.

Thanks

Heres an idea of all the f*ucked up wiring I'm pulling from the car. Good news is outside of the wiring and a weak tailgate struts the car is solid and everything else seems to be working.

Ok, took a while but I've stripped out all the non-oe wiring (I think).

I found these two things under the passenger seat carpet. Am I safe to assume that these are not from factory. Etiher way there gone now anyway.

This is what I've found so far under the steering wheel. Anyone know what the white and brown connectors are? and where they connect to?

I'm assuming the whatevers happend to the wires being spliced into them is not normal.

So I think I've figured out the stereo wiring from searching on the forum for a few hours.

I have question about the really thick yellow wire. This disappears somewhere behind the glovebox it was running along the passenger side of the car but not connected to anything. - Is that an OEM wire? 

Another Question - I have a factory reverse camera on the trunk. Should there be an independant wire from this to OEM HU?

Can anyone help out with the yellow wire question?

Quick update: I've fixed the cut speaker wiring, got my ISO harness and connected the new HU. Good news, it powers on. Bad news - NO SOUND!!!! Not even any static. I've searched SAU some posts mention a factory amp and convertor. Would this apply to the PM35 I have with a non-bose HU? Also, where would the factory amp be located? I've checked passenger side rear arch and its empy. 

Thanks!

Am I correct in thinking that the non-Bose HU are non-amplified? - everything on here seems to say they are not amplified, but want to check.

    • I just got to work and skimmed through 61508 and 61511. I was surprised the CSA adopted both, but neither are enforced. To recap what I read, it states that in a perfect world, they should be segregated but they acknowledge that this is not industry standard and clearly mention that they allow mixing of safety and non-safety. 61511 also mentions software segregation like AB does in their safety PLC's.   Now if only I could go back to control, let alone safety over comms. In my current line of work, we're only allowed monitoring and basic control over comms. Everything critical must still be hard wired as much as possible. 
    • I've unfortunately never been as they're on the complete other side of the continent and another country that isn't currently letting us in as easily as they use to. I even heard their stop signs over there actually say "Stop" instead of "Arret". If I decided to trek the 48h drive, I wouldn't know when or where to stop haha. Whenever I order parts from UP Garage, I order from Japan as it's cheaper. Same with GKTech... oddly enough, it's cheaper shipped from Australia then it is the US.  UP Garage Japan operates their US leg though, unlike Tomei. If Tomei JPN had the power to close down Tomei USA, I'm sure it would be done in a day. They're two completely separate entities. Tomei JPN messed up somewhere originally agreeing to its creation and got sacked big time. 
    • I asked someone about this and he told me about the Audi 1.8T engine. But I think it would be difficult to swap
    • I don't know that machine specifically, but I'd personally go for something with a little more kick than 130amp. Around up to 180 would be good. At the 6mm range, you're really pushing the machine hard and don't have a long period you can run for with out needing to give it a rest. Lots of MIG machines come with a regulator and hose. A lot will come with a starter roll of wire too, but it isn't too expensive to buy. I'd recommend NOT buying a massive roll too, as you don't want it sitting around FOREVER in the machine between uses and potentially going to shit. For thin sheet metal, get a roll of 0.6mm if you're doing over 3mm and above, switch over to 0.8mm wire. Even by 2mm you'd probably really want to switch. As for gas battle, it's all swap and go style now. You'll pay a bottle deposit, and then X amount to swap for a full one. I think it's like $200 or $300 for a D Size bottle upfront as "deposit", and like $110 to $150 per swap. My D size CO2/argon bottle lasts a fair bit of welding on the MIG. And I run an E size bottle on the TIG. For DIY MIG, stick with a D size bottle. If you really start to get into a LOT of welding and doing it really regularly, then upgrade. If you're like most DIY car guys, one D bottle will last you 2 or 3 years easily. I think I've been on my current bottle about 5 years. It is starting to get low, but I've been smashing it a lot more the last 6 months.
    • SR20s came with cars like the Bluebird and Primera, but the RB20 never came. The ones in Turkey were either brought in specially or from abroad. That's why RBs aren't as common as SRs. And if a part breaks or I need to replace it when doing maintenance, it's harder to find parts for RBs.
