MAJOR HELP NEEDED plz

[Guinness]

so I just need one of those the reception seems fine round here as Iv had it pluged in, but as said doenst store radio stations. Anyway u reckon that cable will work fine?

If the ISO connecters go direct into the headunit - you'll not need a loom.

But can buy ISO>ISO connections that will let you modify it to swap over the IGN & Live.

where can I get one of those from had a look on ebay with no result, if someone could point me in a direction of a cable and tell me what I need to do 2 sort it this might solve my problems and yes I really suck at this

 

[MK8]

Oh didnt realise the newer Sony's had ISO's on the back! Nevermind my post!

 

[Guinness]

apparantly they do its not a stupidly new sony its just a reletivley new one that I got my hands on for cheap starting to regret it lol

 

[BlackFR]

Just buy the one I said above. Or an ISO to ISO if thats cheaper.

You only need 3 connections

HU ISO         CAR ISO
1-NC           NC
2-NC           NC
3-NC           NC
4-Backup       7-Battery+
5-Ant Rem      Connect to blue wire on antenna adaptor if you buy one DO NOT connect to car.
6-NC           NC
7-ACC          4-Ignition
8-GND          8-GND

Is your model a cdx-gt30rn?

Thats made by Sony for Renault!!! It effectively a Renault head unit which is why there is no adaptor loom and no switch option to switch over the two inputs.

Its also why the instructions show a connector for adding a Renault remote control!

That shouldn't cause you any problems once you have these leads swapped though. Your pretty lucky actually as the newer Renaults don't have an acc wire its all controlled via the can bus.

idd it is wasnt told that until I got it, was told it was a GT-200 till it got here! and just bought an iso iso one. What do I need to do to make it work?

see post 26

chears mate that makes some sence, what I meant by the above was is what the car is at default on the left or the right? and what do I do if I dont get a arial thing

**edit**
have I got this right in saying I sawp pins 4 and 7 over. That makes sence. Iv also just bought one of those arial things thought it better to be safe than sorry , so how do I connect that and do I need to unplug pin1? I really am crap with this electrical stuff wouldnt think I got an A at Alevel in electronics lol o and chears for the help matey appreciate it

 

[BlackFR]

No probs

Yup you got it. Swap 4 and 7 over and 8 is straight through.

So the car end should only have 3 wires in it.

Connect pin 5 of the HU connector to the blue wire on the antenna power adaptor you just bought. The HU end should then have 4 wires in it.

Build it all up, take a pic and post it up before you hook it up if you like

 

[Guinness]

will do chears mate think I get what you are meaning but hey its me so probably not lol

 

[Guinness]

My paint skills rock just so u know. Anyway this what I understand of what I have to do correct me if Im wrong please lol. Thanks again

 

[Guinness]

reckon thats right anyone?

 

[BlackFR]

Yup looks good!

 

[Guinness]

does it matter which way I connect the arial thing? And if so is the way Iv done it the right way

 

[BlackFR]

The actual bit that connects to the aerial lead in the car and on the head unit should only fig one way round... I think its correct in your image but its a bit small to say for sure

 

[BlackFR]

Plug the rest of it in first and leave the antenna out... Confirm it works then add the antenna thing...

 

[Guinness]

ah right yer I didnt think of that god Im silly lol cables should be here today and stole me some heatshrink wraping from college to day ( a good 10 metres as it was easier to steal the lot lol)

 

[BlackFR]

You should have stolen long pointy tweezers... no need for cutting and heat shrinking then!

Actually if you want to spend a few mins trying you can get the "blade" style crimps out of the end that plugs into your car with an unfolded paper clip
