F150 Duke Posted June 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 I'll double check in the z1 manual, but that was the only place the plug would fit in the back of the z1. The words "digital out" were next to the hole on the back of the z1, so that's why I called it that. I'll check that and then redo the programming. If that doesn't fix it, then I'll head to the CC install shop and ask for a favor. I don't have a volt meter and am really not wanting to buy one. Duke Quote Link to post Share on other sites

05Stang-GT Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 The PAC doesnt plug into the back of the HU itself, it plugs into a "headphone jack" that is on a pigtail on one of the wiring harnesses that plugs into the back of the HU Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It'd make sense though. I mean the hole was labled "digital out" which doesn't make sense. I mean the PAC is sending an electronic signal to the HU and it needs to recieve it, not have a port that is sending stuff out. Duke Quote Link to post Share on other sites
05Stang-GT Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 It should be labeled wired remote.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Navyguy Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 F150 Duke, The connector should be brown also. When you have it working would you mind sending pictures of the install? I ordered my PAC SWI PS for my F150 and should have it in next week. Having a picture of one hooked up would help me in my install. Navyguy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
F150 Duke Posted June 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Hello NavyGuy, I'm actually not going to fix the sub connection on the truck until I get the BT unit in. That way I can install the BT unit, fix the PAC, fix the sub connection (which is getting annoying b/c now I have static coming out of it), and then tidy up some wiring that is rattling around. However, here are some links to installing the Z1 in an F150. This is what I used and I identified each "difficulty" along the way throughout these threads.

I was asking about the PAC SWI-PS, but don't worry about it. My SWI-PS came in today and I have already installed it and it is working like a champ. I hope you get yours going when all of your stuff comes in and you install them. If you need anything let me know. Navyguy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
03Aviator Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Steve...on our Aviators (I have the CD-6) Do we need to reduce the voltage to the amp to 5V with the regulator and capacitors? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Duke[/quote] Yes it does. It was kind of tight for me because I have the original HU inside the dash. So once I found the light blue/wire I was good. I tapped the lines going to the headlight flasher for pwr and gnd. Then I programmed it. It is a little of delay time but I am cool with that. I will admit programming it took about three times, because I was working outside in the sun here in Texas. I do not have a garage just a carport. Hope this helps.

F150 Duke Posted June 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Woah you have the Z1 and the OEM HU in? How did you pull that off? Duke Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Navyguy Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 [quote name="F150 Duke"]Woah you have the Z1 and the OEM HU in? How did you pull that off? Duke[/quote] There is alot of space in the dash. The OEM HU is inside the dash faced up. I had to keep it to run the OEM entertainment unit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ImolaVirus Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 [quote name="F150 Duke"] QUESTION #2: I wired the speed sensitive volume wire for the F150. How do I turn this feature on, on the headunit? [/quote] The vehicle speed wire (VSS) is not for that feature. That's not something that the Z1 does. The VSS sends a signal to the computer in the Z1 so that it knows how fast the car is going in real time, not just off of the relatively slow sampling rate from the satellites. This allows the unit to navigate using the 3D mode, giving it all of the inputs that it can have, thereby making it as accurate as possible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
