Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Radio Backlight

« on: 21 January 2012, 15:52:49 »

Afternoon guys,

So a while back i had the headunit out to install parrot, and as i was planning on fitting a different headunit i didnt push it in fully.

So things have changed and im stuck with standard h/u for a while, but in fitting the parrot i took out what i assume to be a loom for the trafficmaster system.

Now everything works as it did, except the traffic master but the h/u won't illuminate.

Anybody have any ideas? Or is it the obvious, and if so, how can i fit eveything back in as with all the orignal iso plugs and the parrot iso plugs it wont fit in my eyes.

Ok i've seen the guide to fitting a sat nav,

I've got a 1999 Estate 2.0 CDX, Any ideas where to pick up a sat nav and rough cost?

Is it worth doing?

And fitting a dvd headunit soon, would that throw up any issues?

Thanks Guys

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Think I broke my Head Unit

« on: 26 November 2011, 20:11:06 »

Evening all,

Got an aftermarket headunit this afternoon, got it plugged in to test, fantastic 

Problem was it wouldnt turn off when I removed the key, simple fix usually swap the wires around, but in a rush to test my new toy I think I swapped the wrong wires, the fuse went pop, a lot of smoke come out and it smelt of burning 

Anyways I swapped the wires back round, replaced the fuse and thought i'd try it again,

It powers up fine, but no sound coming from it, guessing i've blown the internal amp,

Can anyone confirm this, and can it be fixed?


Thanks in advance!
