Default Re: Locobob's Interior Mod Thread

So I think I have found the easiest route to connect the reverse wire off the head unit to the back-up light circuit. Here it is under the passenger dash, this should be C209 as it matches the connector description in the FSM electrical supplement.



The back-up lamp circuit is a LT green wire, at first I was a little confused since there are two wires here which appear to be LT green but another look at the FSM indicated its terminal F on C209 so it should be the one at the top of the pic.



I probably could have run a wire all the way back to the reverse lamps in less time but by doing this research I found a super close spot to plug in and also learned a lot about the FSM in the process - thanks WVZR-1

That's good work Where IS the line tap? Can't actually see it there...

And learning to follow schematics in FSM is good brainwork too. Makes for good systemic and cognitive processes!

Bob sorry I missed you latest post however if you have a Varible Speed Sensor wire on your head unit the VSS wire is the Forrest Green Wire with the White Stipe off the Bose factory radio harness. Normally you need this wire if you have a NAV unit and dont want to rely on dead reackoning. D

Turned the power back on for the first time to do some testing and things are looking pretty good. New radio fired up, antenna went up, sound from all speakers. Didn't try the camera yet, need to read up on the stereo menu and make the reverse wire connection still. Also need to connect the radio "parking circuit" wire to ground - this is supposed to tie into the parking circuit to prevent video from being played while on the move but I was told you can just run it to ground to bypass the nanny crap. Interior LED's look good - much brighter and crisper than stock. Only failure was the horn button didn't work.... not sure what I missed there.... hmmm not sure I really care either lol

One more issue I ran into is that the PAC adapter harness is too short, not sure how I am going to mount the box as it is pretty much stretched out and the adapter box just kinda hangs from tension right outside the radio bezel and wont tuck away into the lower dash like I would like it to. Anyone else have experience with installing a PAC oem-1? Wonder if they make a extension wire?

I would just cut and it extend it to the length you need. Just make sure you shrinkwrap the extensions
