Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Outside temperature 50 degrees ?

« on: 27 March 2011, 15:41:18 »

Just had a similar experience on my 2000 2.0 16v 20XEV Engined CDX Auto.
I was told that the sensor 'did not' effect the Climate Control (Heating or Cooling)
Well I can confirm 100% it does! (well on my car it did)
Although mine is a 2000 Reg, it is 1999 spec....
I put in a new one after the temp reached 36 Degrees and climbing....
The Heater is now much better and the air con too 

I also think the car is running smoother, seems to be more economical  probably a pure coincidence though

As a temp fix, I took off the grill and lowered the bumper.
Then unscrewed the lower bolt supporting the Headlights and fitted a 3mm rubber washer behind the bracket to lift the lights up slightly - made big difference - and it passed the MOT!
But - Main Beam interfered with low flying aircraft   ;D
Since replaing the adjusters, took washers out - all back to near normal

Check to make sure your Adjuster aren't US!
Common issue on older Migs.
Plenty of posts on the Forum for 'how to fix'

I have had the same, you can replace the bulbs, try Osram Nightbreakers £30 approx, I fitted 'Halfords Brilliance' (£20 by-one-get-one-free) makes a huge difference.

Thanks for that - bit pricy though - more than I paid for my DEH55BT  food for thought

also use both with the 'comfort adaptor' for steering controls and displaying info to the MID

Any advice on what this is, be useful if I could get mine to us the display also?
Cheers!

From a mumble junior member with recent experience of a pref/l, CDX for me has to be Pioneer

I would recommend a Pioneer DEH Unit - tons on Ebay from £20+
Superb Power Amp - 4 x 50W Moffset (digital like sound quality) even on the basic versions, mid-range units DEH-110MP upwards play MP3's WMA and most have front 'Aux' jack socket for MP3's and iPods I use it all the time.
Top notch are the DEH xxxx BT models (I had a DEH70BT) as they have built in hands free for the moby!
There are also some nice all black models too.
Works well with the OEM Speakers with a great overall sound quality, radio reception excellent too.

Should conect easily enough, Dave from DND has been very helpful, you will need an adaptor and patch lead - DaveDND can advise  8-)
PC99-X06 and a PC99-SON  :-? - but get Dave to confirm.

Hope it helps

Thanks Dave
I wondered if that was the case, they don't look like they have been for some time? and where tucked right down at the back of the console.

Hi Dave
Thanks for your help in getting the Patch Lead to me.
Unfortunately not working?

I have followed the 'instructions to the letter but not luck.
I  connected the 'new ISO lead' (Autoleads PC99-X06) to the Head Unit, connected the patch lead you supplied (PC99-SON) but didn't plug in the Jack plug.
I then checked to ensure that the Battery/Power was OK (needed swapping over) so the nit was retaining RDS FM Signal and saving them - then plugged in the jack - no luck 
The 'white' wire from the box on the PC99-X06 goes to a 'blue/red' thin wire on the main loom, is this correct?

I also have a larger multi-block connector with at least 24-30 small female pins, these have blue/yellow, white, green and black leads, I assume this must be something to do with the CDC? or OEM  Stereo Unit.
My Head Unit is a Pioneer DEH-110E - all functions working perfectly with superb AM/FM signal (wrong Aerial lead connected to the original head unit, was wired to old mobile phone aerial)CD, AUX.... 

Any ideas?
Is there a separate circuit or fuse for the steering controls?
or somewhere else I can look  :-?
Many thanks
JERRY

Cheers

Thanks Dave!
I'll check out my unit to see if it has the 3.5 mm jack socket, can't recall seeing it when i fitted the unit though?

Car: 2.0 16v Auto CDX
I have installed a Pioneer DEH 110 CD Unit - Excellent quality with iPod interface (FM superb, AM reception is very poor but a separate issue already posted as a question)  :-/

I would like to use the 'Steering Remote Controls' advised to buy Autoleads PC99-X06 adapter, it is the correct adapter set, but my mechanic said that there is a lead missing 

Probably a 20pin to 16pin (grey or black connectors) this is supposed to connect from the 'box on the PC99-X06' to the main car loom/steering wheel?
Autoleads refer to something called a 'patchlead' is that what I need?

I was told by my mechanic that this 'lead' should have been left in the car, regardless of what after market stereo was fitted?

Alternatively - if someone has one - happy to purchase!

Cheers!
