Hi. Hope you had a nice weekend. I spent the entire weekend installing the Z1. I'm completely bushed! Mostly a success, but some issues arose. Perhaps you can help? Questions:

 

1) Reverse Signal: There's only one 9-pin connector on the back of the fuse box (under dash driver's side), but pin '5' is empty (both male & female sides). Could it be one of the other pins (I attached a photo of the 9-pin connector - counting from lower right going left, pin 4,5,6,7,8, etc.)

 

2) Can you tell me where I can easily (i.e., under dash, near fuse box??) tap into BATTERY?

 

3) I get an emphatic "oomph" sound through the speakers when I turn the car off (even after turning off the unit (as much as it can be turned off, that is)). All sounds fine while it's playing; I checked left, right, front, rear settings, and all seems well; I'm getting highs through my tweeters and bass through my woofer. Any ideas what could be wrong? I'm certain I made good grounds; help......

That looks to me like a 10 pin plug. Kinda hard to tell for sure though your finger's in the way a bit. You could look in the harnes that runs to the back of the car on the driver's side for a white wire. That might work to.

 

what do you need to tap into a batteryfeed?

 

The pop/thump noise you're hearing is normally caused by the factory amp turning off too soon. What you can trry doing is disconnecting the blue/white wire of the car's harness from the z1 and splice it into the red wire. If that doesn't work, you'll need something to delay the turn off of the amp.

Thanks, i will give it a try. Do you know what the (White) and the (Orange and White) wires are located on the stock stereo wire harness are?

Posted Nov 09, 2006 · 00:19 UTC#34

Posted Nov 09, 2006 · 04:35 UTC#35

:shock:

 

2005 Jeep Liberty Renegade Auto Tranny, NEW AVIC-N3 install, no factory Navi

 

I have done my research so I have a clue. The wonderful people at Rostra have provided me with a VSS wire location: "Automatic Trans. Location 15 (Driver's Side Fenderwell between shock tower & front grill) - 4 Connector ECM - Green Connector - Position 32, VSS Wire Color: Automatic Lt. Green/White or Green/Brown."

 

My problem is that I found two Green/White AND two Green/Brown in that specific connector. I do not know which to tap. And lastly, I am looking for a place to tap the reverse signal wire so I don't have to travel to my tail lamps!!

 

The connector on the right is the "Green." You can see the TWO Green/White and the Green/Brown next to it.

This is the green connector...its position 32.

Here you can see the TWO Green/Brown better.

ND-PG1 is the speed pulse generator. From what I remember it straps onto the drive shaft of a rear-wheel drive car.
