hey,

i received the aerial adapter today (same as mikelambert's one), plugged it all up and still no go

is the blue lead for the aerial supposed to connect to the aerial lead from the headunit or the antenna lead from the iso-adapter?

Getting a bit frustrated now

The blue lead is for the amplifier in the aerial base,so i would plug all the looms together and see which one gives you a live when the tuner is selected on the h/u and then connect that to the aerial wire.

for the illumination cord (which im assuming is for lights) would i be able to remove the blue/yellow/grey ish striped lead for the light from the little compartment next to the cig lighter?

I think thats the one thats for illumination, if so would this work?

Grey/yellow striped is normally illumination so if you tap into this you should be ok.

well i finally got it working!

Ends up the headunit required acc leed to be connected, so I wired both the ignition live and illumination from the cig lighter behind the heating controls to the unit.

Works a charm now

Only problem is while wiring up the mic (for handsfree) i thought itd be a good idea to cut it and then fix it back up, so i could get it through a tight hole.. now it doesnt work.

But I found the same one on ebay, AU$4 so its no problem, ill just have to drill a bigger hole..

Thanks for all the help guys, I owe you one
