3 Questions to finalise my RadioGuy DD install...

StuBlake13 · 23rd November 2011, 16:59

Now I have got my unit wired up and working, just want to ask three more questions:

1. In the ISO connectors and for cars without IR steering controls, are the wires I am after found in the grey iso block? If not which wires do I need as I can only see Blue/Orange and Blue/Purple wires running into that. I was gonna ScotchLok them and channel some wire to the Yellow/Green/Blue connectors.

2. How do I fit the wires into the Y/G/B connectors is there something I need to place on the wire before putting it in or should I be looking at just using one of the wires with crimp connectors on already if so which as I think the labels I should have had on them have either come off or weren't there as the AMP-C and GND labels are the only ones I have?

3. Where is the best place to take the live feeds from for the TV antenna and the DVB-T units and where is best to ground them?

Thanks in advance for any and all answers and advice...

1: on the new loom that comes with the DD unit the RED ISO houses the two wires that need to be connected to the two wires that were previously in the yellow ISO connector! Cut the red ISO off and scotchlock the wires to those that were in the looms origiona Yellow ISO block (thats your steering wheel paddles sorted)

2:The new Y/G/B connector just fit into the back of the DD unit as the Brown wire that sais Earth need to be connected as this is the failsafe that stops the unit being watched whilst the car is in motion; The blue AMP wire is just to power an external AMP if you are fitting one otherwise leave alone

3: I took my leave feed from the cigarette lighter as this is 12v switched live and connected all the earth wires by splicing into the Earth wire off the Grey ISO Block again BLACK in colour

Also this seriously helped me mate take a look http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...ad.php?t=90769

I have no red ISO nor did my original have anything in the yellow or green ISO:

This is how my adaptor looks:

I have found this though and it confirms the wires for the steering controls I'm after are in the grey ISO block:

Just a case of figuring out how I put them in the relevant section in the yellow block.

As for the earthing suggestion, that sounds like the easiest plan

The Blue/Purple wire from the loom is for the output (Green wire "Steering Key-1" on the head unit) and the Blue/Orange wire from the loom is the Earth (Black wire on the head unit). These are the ones that have to be cut out of the red box and the loom and then spliced together

If you used Mr Edds directions I'm sure the adaptor is different on my HU as I can confirm (just been out to car and had a look) I have no RED ISO block or RED adaptor for the YGB blocks to go in

EDIT: I don't have that loom mine is different.

Hi Stuart,
The red block has already been cut off. The two wires terminated with crimp connectors (red bullet type). Supplied you with the mating halves plugged into ends on the wires so you can connect them up to your loom. Just need to cut off the plug on your loom and crimp on the supplied connectors.

Thanks Pete so its okay to leave these wires disconnected from the grey block and redirected to the new wires? No need to scotchlok them?

Hi Stuart,
Your steering wires need to be connected as twaters63 stated. There probably are three wires with bullet connectors on. The two for the steering control - green and black, and the other is a power in feed to select the reversing camera input when reverse gear is selected. If you are not fitting a reversing camera you can forget that one (can't remember the colour but think it has a label on as "Back"). If you don't have a crimp tool , you may be able to push the bare ends of the wire through the centre of the bullet terminal and fold over before plugging the terminal into it's mate. This should retain the wires and give a good connection. Hope that helps!
