Mw350z Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 2008 350z non bose Yes! I have searched... No luck! I just installed my new z110bt and I couldn't get the mute wire out without hacking up the harness to much. So I used extra VSS wire to attempt the video bypass. So my problem is the volume controls and the rear speakers aren't working. Yes! I pulled it out and check all the connections. I was using a guide on a 350z forum do my install and they had 3 grounds one was the green parking break(check) and the Black ground(check) and I did the by pass so I had a third on the same as the parking brake ground.(check) so I am wondering if that third ground could be throwIng the ATT? I have tried the turning off the AV and going to setting and turning off the mute, still no luck! Should un ground the 3rd ground? I am hoping you guys can help me before I decide to take it to a stereo place to fix it. Thanks Marcus Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CamelTowing Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 What did you connect this "extra vss wire" to? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mw350z Posted November 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 I have it ground to a bolt the hold the dash kit together it was the same one the guide I got had theres grounded to its also the same bolt I have the parking brake wire grounded. Should I undo that ground and leave the Parking brake. Also finding after my frist post, My gauges are lite but not working any knowledge about that promblem. I have have something about it being directly connected to my AC controls. which has a VSS wire I spliced in to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 WHAT!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mw350z Posted November 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 My z110bt is permently in ATT and I cant change the volume or get it off ATT. I couldnt pull the pin out, So I took some extra VSS wire and filled the pin location that the by pass is moved to instead of the mute wire. I grounded that and the Brake lead to a bolt on the left side under my AC control box and the black ground to the right side. below  http://www.350z-tech.com/w/images/f/fa/DVD009.jpg   Also in doing the install some how I caused the gauges to not work beside the back lights. And doing some research I have found that the AC unit is directly connected to the gauges. The only thing that involves the AC controls is the VSS wire splice. I dont know what happen I am hoping its something simple like a connector is not connected. VBLUE got anything? THANKS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mw350z Posted November 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 I believe my gauge problem is one of two 1. Fuse I just dont know which one 2. connection to AC controls  Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CamelTowing Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 Did you ground the mute wire too? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mw350z Posted November 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 Not the black/Yellow one just the extra VSS wire in the by pass pin location. and the parking brake. of couse the ground. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CamelTowing Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 Did you leave the plastic cover on the mute wire, or could it be touching any metal? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mw350z Posted November 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 There was a plastic cover on the metal clip on the end It might be touching the back of the unit. Could the wire be causing the mute to permently on? I have to pull it apart again any ways I got a HD unit separatly that gets here on Monday plus I am still having a problem with my gauges. No fuses were blown so it mass to be a connector. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CamelTowing Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 If you have to pull it out again anyway, go to Fry's, radio shack, home depot, etc and spend a dollar or two on a flat head eyeglass screwdriver and do the bypass the right way. Will establish if the mute wire is causing the muting problems or not Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mw350z Posted November 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Yeah I am going to do the by pass the right now and hopefully that fixes that problem now I am still stuck with out gauges hopefully I will get it all figured put the third time around now. Thanks so much Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mw350z Posted November 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 I fixed the gauges that's as simple as I didn't fullly connect the air control box and it came loose during reinstallsation. I will diffenently do that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mw350z Posted November 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 DONE!!!! You have to do the by pass the correct way for the Mute to turn off. Thanks everyone for the help! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
