Omega Electrical and Audio Help / AUDIO: Ripspeed DV720 - No audio via ISO

« on: 24 January 2011, 13:53:52 »

Hey, has anyone ever had/installed a Ripspeed DV720?
Im having an issue with mine and im rather stumped on it...

Right the term "all singing and all dancing" doesnt quite fit as at the moment it only does the dancing. It works, the screen slides out etc etc but there is no sound coming from the door speakers. Now, i wired my sub in and that works (confused the hell out of me at first loads of bass, no music, i thought someone nearby had a huge instal

) but i have checked all the setings, un plugged and re plugged the ISO leads countless times, i even did a continuity check on the FL, FR, RL and RR on the ISO (headunit side) the make sure there was no breaks and all is well...

My current headunit (JVC KR-something) works in it, fine dandy and crystal clear.

Anyone got any ideas, suggestions or better yet, know what is wrong?

cheers in advance

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Aftermarket headuint, amp and subs...

« on: 10 March 2010, 16:14:50 »

Sorry if this is the wrong section but i thought i could get away with it as this lot is in my omega

Ok, not sure who remembers me having a small issue with this before (DND-Dave solved it straight away last time - bad earth) but i have a new issue with this lot now... as far as me and 3 others can see, nothing is out of place. no wires have been moved etc etc but i am getting no output from my subs apart from one of them buzzing.

The amp is all lit up and fine, the RCA's are in at both ends and so is the remote wire.
Earth not been touched, nor the live. The only thing that has happened recently was i un-wired 1 of the subs so i had a bit more room to sort out the boot lid i changed at the weekend.

Any ideas? :-? :-?

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Problem with my amp :( (aftermarket)

« on: 18 January 2010, 10:09:32 »

Hey guys i got a DUB2502 amp as a bday present from my old folks (and a Vibe Slick 8awg wiring kit). i wired it all up yesterday all excited and could wait to fine tune my bass.... but.... the amp lights up, but in protection mode. i have searched the net and such to find answers, found one site saying to test this that and the other (fuses, connection etc) but none seem to help.

The one thing have found though is that when everything is plugged into the amp (as it should be) the protection light is in, when i unplug the RCA cables, the light goes out and the amp seems to power off... when i plug them back in, the red protection light comes back on...

any ideas? (im looking at DND Dave here

)

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / JVC KD-PDR61

« on: 12 November 2009, 13:09:29 »

JVC KD-PDR61 - For some reason the unit is not holding its memory after turning of the ignition off then back on again. Im not sure if this is because of the car its in or a loose wire or something. It gets a bit annoying having to set the base levels everytime i go for a drive >_<

any thoughts?

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Aftermarket headunit

« on: 16 August 2009, 17:22:14 »

Ok first off, sorry if this has already been asked but i couldnt find a post on it (tho i do remember seeing one about it).

Ok so, me being a man of my music (and the base lines) im looking to put an aftermarket headunit and maybe even put in an amp for my subs (which i already have in instead of the 2 on the rear shelf)

Im guessing there is a lot of re-wiring to be done as and i dont really have a clue as to where to start.

has anyone got any ideas as to how i go about doing this?

like i said the main reason(s) for me doing this is because i like my base line and music, but also want to be able to hook my iphone to it with my music on (as the cd changer doesnt like "copied" CD's)

Thnaks in advance

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Phillips DC012 6 disc changer and SC804 CDC Head

« on: 15 June 2009, 11:50:28 »

Hey, for the past few weeks now my car audio seems to be playing up and it is really starting to do my head in.
ok first off, the head unit... it cuts out every now and then and then comes back. by cutting out i mean the actual display goes out as well and the light around the volume button goes as well. the timing is random sometimes it will just be a flicker, other times it will turn itself off for 10 mins at a time.
Second (this is to do with the head unit as well) i have though about trying to sort it myself but as i love this car so much i dont really want to mess it all up so, if i take the head unit out and unplug it will i have to re-enter any codes etc (this is just so i can find the codes and have them ready, if i decided to do it myself)?

Last but not least, the 6 disc changer (DC012), this did work and its great being able to have multiple cd's (as i cant use SD cards etc until i get a new head unit for it) but now it wont read any CD's, not even bought ones (as in not ones i have burnt myself). it started off that i just had to take the cartridge out and put it back in again and all was well for a couple of days. Now it wont read the at all saying ERR on each CD then once its been through all the CD's it will say there are no CD's in it...

Any help on this would be very much appreciated as i love my music.

Regards,

Sean

Omega General Help / Strange sound, little bit worried

« on: 28 July 2010, 12:43:25 »

Hey, im hearing a strange vibrating noise coming from the engine bay (may only sound like this as i cant drive the car and look under t.
he bonnet at same time)

It only occurs tho when the engine is at 3k revs and my foot is too the floor. and whilst its making said noise, i feels like theres a small drop in power as well.

Anyone got any thoughts as to what this may be?

Omega General Help / Couple of things

« on: 19 April 2010, 16:45:14 »

Hey guys just a couple of things... The first is a non major, general sort of question, and that is... are all the windows etc the same size for all models? (i.e same door glass for Pre-face, mini-face and face etc)

Ok now for the more serious matter. My car is making a knocking sound... sounds major doesnt it, but im not sure.
It only happens going of bumps/ pot hoels etc... on a nice smooth road she's fine. At first i thought it was the support bar, maybe it had come loose as i had to put a new (as in second hand, in its correct shape) one on after killing a deer. but i reached under and behind the bumper to give it a move around and its on tight... so i had a look under the car (the best i could) and have noticed something underneath that has oil all around its edge and on occasion lives a small pool on oil on the floor (no bigger than the size of my palm if that).
that has only started to happened after doing the repairs but have a feeling it was more than likely after a did the lowering and had forgotten it was lower and went over a speed bump a bit to hard...
Anyone got any ideas as to what it could be and how serious it is? should i stop driving her? is she ok to drive but take it easy or is it something completely different?

Thanks in advanced

Omega General Help / cam belt kit?

« on: 26 October 2009, 00:38:37 »

Ok, so rather than going to a garage to get my cam belt done, i was going to buy the kit myself and have a friend help me do it (that way i can learn i a lil bit as well)
the only thing now is, where can i get one from?
does it make a difference if its a genuine Vx one or not etc etc?

any advice or a point in the right direction would be great

regards,

Omega General Help / Help needed - Engine Electronics Light :'(

« on: 12 October 2009, 10:45:41 »

Ok, so im having some real issues with my poor mig now... she just doesn't seem to like me any more.

within the last week, the engine electronics light will come on ever now and then and i will have a sudden loss in power (i was in second gear when it happened and had next to no response when i put my foot down) also, the rev counter went absolutely mental, bouncing up and down all over the place. So i pulled over (ideally i was about 200 yards from a mates house) and shut the engine off... i left it off for about 5 mins whilst i had a chat with my mate. started up again and the light went off and nothing happened for the rest of the day. It then started to do this again last night as i was pulling out of a petrol station.

Has anyone any idea's as to what the problem is? from looking at the owners manual they seem to point in the direction of the catalytic converter.
now i would take a look in the Haynes manual but that's more of a how to book rather than a diagnostics book.

any help greatly received!

Cheers,

Sean

Omega General Help / Juddering and cutting out :S

« on: 16 August 2009, 17:55:52 »

Ok, i have a bit of a concern for my car now. once i have been driving for an extended period of time, the car will every now and then (normally when i have stopped for any reason) will go well below idle or even just cut out.
Also, after the extended driving period, when i come to pull away from traffic lights/junctions etc the car shudders until i completely take my foot off the clutch... im hoping none of this is serious as i really cant afford to do anything to fix at this time in my life.
Any help greatly received,

cheers,

Sean

Omega General Help / Judders >_<

« on: 16 April 2009, 21:27:14 »

after reading a thread by JamesV6CDX, i saw that one of the things he fixed was something to do with the clutch and juddering... i think i have this problem on my omega.
it only when the engine is warm and when when having to pull away on a hill that it does this and not only is it really annoying but it also concerns me.
Now, me not having much in the way of knowledge when it comes to mechanics (i can change spark plugs!

) im curious as to know whats wrong with it and how can i (if its something simple) fix it.

replies are welcomed
