[mike40sydney]

[bayslideblue]

I just installed a cd/dvd/tv unit as well and I am wanting to hook up a reversing camera. Does anyone know which wire I need to attach the unit to to switch to the camera when I hit reverse?

Cheers

cool cheers, I was thinking I might put it there. I can use the reverse light wire at the rear to power the camera. However what about the trigger wire from the head unit? Where abouts is the reverse light wire in the dash? Is it under the centre console? Which color? (I haven't had a look yet, so it may be obvious to me when I take it out next. I just thought someone may be able to save me the trouble)

Thanks again

Can i get some kind of confirmation on the stereo wiring for the S2? Or if anyone knows of a adaptor kit?

I ask as i am lookign at a 2 din hole with two blank connectors, and i know i have 6 speakers (2 pillar tweeters).

Thanks in advance!

just a question for everyone in here who has taken there dash apart a few times, does anyone else have spastic cup holders? what did you do to fix them? mine sort of work but they hang to one side and look funy.

You will only have 4 pairs of speaker wires, the A pillar speakers are "splits" with the front door speakers.

Has anyone put a double din head unit into a C34? Just wondering if there are any issues with it.

I've done it . Absolutely no probs, just follow the DIY. Get a plug to suit from JB, cut and solder.

Thanks to STAGE-A for the wiring

12V ------- Brown with white stripe

Ignition -------- light blue with yellow stripe

Lights -------- Red with blue stripe

Earth -------- Just use the stereo metal brackets

and heres the speaker connection wires (stagea s1 at least)

left front ---- blue (+) black with white stripe (-)

right front ---- brown (+) black with red stripe (-)

left rear ----- mint green (+) black with yellow stripe (-)

right rear ---- orange (+) black with pink stripe (-)

On my S2, i found the RL & RR polarity was reversed to the above stated. and i also had two spare wires

where are people running there Amp wire into the car? anyone got some pics/information as to where you are running your wiring so that i know where to start...................

installed a new HU on the weekend

bought the Aerpro antenna adaptor, and found i got good reception even without combining both the antenna's

spliced into the black/yellow wire, and it seems radio reception is fine, haven't tested extensively yet

ran the ipod cable into the centre console, and a bluetooth mic into the exmpty switch next to the rear demister

lots of fun to work with. . . not!

Quick question I need clarification on...

Will an S1 Xanavi unit be a direct swap into an S2 with the Factory CD/cas unit?

I believe it will. But why would you want the Xanavi unit anyhow?

Nope climate controll requires some funky connectors!

[pipster11]

just to let everyone know, there is probably an adaptor from aerpro that will plug into the stock harness

i dont know what the part number is but my r32 took the same part as a gq patrol which is about the same age so i would suspect that an adaptor is available to prevent having to cut and solder and also save time

[stagman]

Interesting...so Does the S2 car that has xanavi use the same looms/wires/sockets or whatever for air-conditioning... as one that didn't come stock with the xanavi unit?

[ステージア]

No it does not.

One would require something like this: http://page5.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/e93993162
