Stereo Query

[koksracing]

Hi ALl,

I have a REnault Clio 2005 182 Trophy. It currently has a DAB Pioneer radio in but it doesnt seem to be wired correctly as i am not getting a very good radio signal, no DAB antenna is present at the minute and then the sound comes out of 1 speaker....

So i have just taken the stereo out and noticed that the wiring leaves a lot to be desired.......
I am going to get a new audio block connector but just wanted to check what does the green/yellow blocks from a the standard wiring do?
cheers

Yeah, its for the remote on the side of the steering wheel and do you have a cd changer?
The white and brown connectors are standard iso - so shouldn't have to change anything with fitting a new stereo. Just plug and play.
Maybe need a antenna adaptor to change to din.
Check the balance settings on the headunit to make sure its not that.

If you don't have a cd changer - someone might have fitted an aux in adaptor - check the glovebox for ipod connectors etc.

thanks for the rapid response. balance settings are all ok.

No CD changer is present so just ordered a new connector and antenna adaptor - hopefully this will do the trick.
THanks
Pete

My radio signal is dire. I need to replace the aerial base as it's gone all rusty inside.

I'm sure I read somewhere that they're not known to be very good when they get older.
