Changed out HU
« on: 11 January 2013, 13:37:06 »
Hey guys i changed out the HU on my Elite, and i realised that now i cannot control the cars own screen, it says Brake light check, so i do that, then it comes up with Icey Roads. Is there anyway for using it now ?

And also quick question of changing the speakers, can i use the original Wiring and just change the speakers? As i have all the speakers that i hope will fit in the front doors and back doors, and as for the back shelf ill buy some for there too :D.

Sorry guys for the lack of information was in a rush on my way out. The car is a Vauxhall Omega, 2003 3.2 Elite

The original headunit is a Siemens NCDC 2013, and yes it has a Bose Amp, which i think is connected to all 6 Speakers in the car :D

And yes i have removed the Amp now.

OK thanks, i have read it, and i have replaced the speakers and put my own cables in, but now i have another problem

I disconnected the wiring loom in the driver door, and the reconnected it, turned the car on then the airbag light came on. So i turned the car off, then back on, the airbag light turned off, but then 2 seconds later the light comes back on. Does it need to be reset? And how do i do that?

Once the airbag system has detected a fault it requires a session on Tech2 to clear it (sorry).

Hey guys, Amps all fitted, sound is good :D, BUT im having Radio interference with one of the amps i used. I have a 2 Channel Amp, and a 4 Channel Amp, and the 4 Channel amp seems to be at fault as when i disconnect it the Radio works fine, no interference issues :D, But as soon as i connect the 4 Channel amp back up again, the Radio doesnt work properly.

I have tried different cables(e.g Power Cables, Earth Cable, Remote/Trigger Cable), and also tried moving amp, from right under the parcel shelf to the floor, its just that amp keeps interfering with the Radio.

Any suggestions ?

Any chance of some images of the setup connections - may be easier to see what you are doing?

Gut feeling is that you have a poor earth connection to the body, insufficient power to the amps and a remote feed that may be under voltage.

What had unit are you running?
Is the interference just on radio?
Is the interference with engine running or not?
