nice work, can anyone make a circut to display writing on the display, mmm, u know when u change the stereo, and loose the display by the clock, can someone make a circuit board that we can program to send some other words to that screen, so i want mine to say alpine,

Mapline sell a kit like this I belive.

Its not difficult to make a circuit to say tings though.

 

[welsh172]

fantastic cheers edde

u can get connectors, normally £5 but they blow alot of the time, wouldnt bother matey,

 

[alexbleubolt]

i will check maplins, i didnt' think of it, but its a plan i could get it to scroll renault sport or something

 

[welsh172]

just gotta figure out which one is the ignition so i make the kit come on when i turn the ignition on......

i guess the Track 3 Voice synthesiser signal (ie mute) is the one to plug into to get it to mute when a phone call comes thru?

Yep.

Alpine do an adapter that allows you to retain the display/controls and the display still shows things like radio station name and track name etc. Just fitted one this afternoon, is nice to have the screen back. Also the incartec one just shows Alpine on the screen all the time.

 

[welsh172]

can anyone tell me which one i plug into to get the kit to come on when i switch the ignition on?

 

[welsh172]

can anyone tell me which pin i need to go into to get the kit to turn on with the ignition? i need the wire that turns the radio on with the ignition..ta

 

[fUbAr]

this any use to you?

 

[welsh172]

^^^ just about lol spot on cheers

 

[welsh172]

hmm that block dont match up to mine......s**t......i got the info from the post from edde but are the pins numbered so i can match them up?

 

[edde]

Look carefully and you should be able to see the pins otherwsie I'll have a look at what cloure each wire is.

 

[welsh172]

ok bit confused now as everything seems different lol, heres a pic i took...

any ideas which ones are the mute and the ignition? ta

 

[Russ.]

ignition is yellow normally i think go to b&q, maplins, wereever and buy a cheap 12v volt tester,can get one for under a tenner. hold one end on the black (ground) and the other on yellow with ur ignition off, if no power switch ignition on...if you then have power theres ur ignition live, if its perm live then try red

 

[welsh172]

cheers....will have to buy one if no ones sure....i sure the yellow one is ignotion aswell, just gotta work out with is the mute :S

 

[welsh172]

anyone please?

 

[edde]

Salmon for the mute.


The pins are orderd as per your drawin

8 6 4 2
7 5 3 1

Hence why there no wire in 2 as per my top post
Plus the other pins are all numbered as i can see per your picture.

As for the after ignition thats the yellow line.
Red as per most Renault wiring signifies before ignition

 

[BrianR]

8 6 4 2
7 5 3 1


1 Vehicle speed signal
2 not used
3 mute
4 Battery supply
5 Aerial amplifier supply
6 Panel lights
7 Accessories suppy
8 Earth

 

[welsh172]

cheers, is there a special tool for pulling the cables out the block? or can u just pull?

 

[BrianR]

Very small flat blade screwdriver, push the yellow plastic lock strip out and just pull the pins...

 

[welsh172]

nice one thanks, will give it a go.....im sure my battery connection is dodgy aswell though....whats the best method?

 

[welsh172]

Very small flat blade screwdriver, push the yellow plastic lock strip out and just pull the pins...

just pull? does it take some force? as i pulled the yellow plastic lock strip out and wires are stuck in tight....do i just need more force or need to somthing else?

 

[Dink]

i think you'll find that on the pin there is a metal tab that stops the pins from being pulled out

you need to push this down then pull it out

 

[welsh172]

cheers but my plug is different to that...mine is the female of thtat i think, as the pins split at the bottom..

 

[Dink]

yeah it was just to show the little tab thats probably on the pins

as that was the only iso plug i had to hand lol

 

[welsh172]

brill, i just wired the wire into the ignition and the the fuking stero doesnt go off when i turn the ignition off??? i have fucked the ignition cable up i think, coz no power come thru to it now.....might have to cut it and put some insulation tape around it

 

[Russ.]

what is it your trying to do? just fit an aftermarket headunit?

try swapping the red and yellow wires dont worry...whatever has been done can be undone

 

[welsh172]

fit a hand free kit, the only wiring i had to do to the radio was wire in a wire to the ignition cable so the system comes on with the igntion and wire into the mute wire so it turns the radio off when a call comes thru......the radio works just wont go off the the ignition, i tested it and there arent any volts coming thru with the ingniton on so ithink ive broken the wire, all well a good company down the road will start again for 40 quid for me lol

 

[Dink]

you haven't accidentially operated a fuse have you?

that can sometimes cause weird faults

 

[welsh172]

operated a fuse?.....does that mean blown a fuse?......the radio works fine just the ignition cable does work, would there be one fuse just for that?

 

[Russ.]

yeah, he means blown a fuse. dink is correct, it has been known for a blown fuse to cause chaos in clios.

check all your fuses, the fuse compartment is located at the side of the dash on the passenger side, open ur dash and youll see a cover with an airbag sticker on (i think), pull the cover of and have a gander at ur fuses

 

[Dink]

yeah blown isn't really the correct term but yeah means "blown"

just me being a bit anal lol

 

[welsh172]

ok that means i have to check every fuse coz it could be anyone right?

 

[Russ.]

if u look on the inside of the fuse cover it shud have a pic of the radio, id check that 1st n work my way on from there

 

[BrianR]

If you have blown a fuse it wont work at all.

If it’s the standard head unit, push the on/off button on the front panel. They are designed to work with or without the ignition switched on. You may have toggled it accidentally.
