Installing the original radio in my MV6, Need help
« on: 12 August 2007, 19:42:12 »
Hello,

Right today I decided to install the original vauxhall radio back in to my MV6, as with the after-market one you can't use the digital display on the dash, so when I un-installed the aftermaket one this is what I found, any advice, any idea's;

[size=14]I'm sure there is something missing at the end of this cable;[/size]


[size=14]And further down the same loom half the cable have been cut and is missing,[/size]


[size=14]And these cables where already cut, the cables stick out from behind the ashtray, bottom-right. I'm not sure if they have anything to do with a telephone kit;[/size]


[size=14]And these cables where taped down to the top of the climate control, one on each of the back of the temperture display's and are sealed at the ends[/size]

The blue and black wires with sealed ends are the Y antenna for the Trafficmaster IIRC

Cheers Mate, I didn't know that. Are they supposed to be taped to the back of the climate control unit.

Imagine so, (I knew what they were from my vectra - they were taped to the top of the glovebox in that) they need to be stretched apart - like those cheapie FM aerial's you used to get with cheap jap midi systems!

I never would have guessed they where for the traffic-master, cheers for that :y
Anybody got any ideas how to repair whats left of the radio cables, so that I can put the original radio back?

I reckon the best thing you can do is get a loom (or as much of a loom as possible) from a scrapper and cut what you've got back to a point before the phantom slasher got to it then attach your salvage loom to it with soldered and shrink wrapped connections.

I think the wires in picture 3 may be the trafficmaster loom (For power, mute and audio). If you search for traffic master on ebay i'm sure you'll find a picture that shows the loom.

The bit you think is missing from picture 1... shouldn't that connector have a third row of connections? Possibly for the MID?

I agree. Looks likle the 3rd connector was broken off the moulding and the wires cut (and not insulated :o) to make the ISO connectors fit an aftermarket head unit.

You need to at least get the missing connector. May as well get a section of the loom and graft it on.

If you have no luck I've got a complete wiring loom from a 98 GLS, in a box, under a desk, in my garage  ;)

How long is the complete loom for the radio system?
