Hmmm, have to keep this in mind for next year.

Last year when I got smogged (05 MT) I had a catted Cob DP into a upgraded Y with stock mufflers and Cobb AP stage II stock map. Stock UP.

Sweated bullets on the visual, especially when I saw him pull out the mirror! I still don't know how I passed the visual. Sniffer was no problem.

I barely drive the car now (wife doesn't drive stick) so I'm thinking I might just donate/sell to someone willing to put the DP back in for the smog.

Anyone know where I can get the pinout for:

a) the USDM car-side plugs (namely the two black 8 pins)

b) the JDM pin out on the HVAC portion (the plug is on the bottom half of the unit unlike the USDM where the plugs are ALL up top radio side). I am assuming Calsonic makes it since it is badged Kenwood (funny, Kenwood/Calsonic making the control head on the HVAC and Clarion making the McIntosh radio parts... what an odd state of affairs!)

It's an 05 (06 is the same) but I've verified that everything except the accessory plug (steering wheel controls, VDC sub, new AUX in) is wired identically to the new 07 HU.

On the JDM side I don't think anyone has been able to get the tech manuals/wiring diagrams for them yet, however people have tried to get the single zone AC to work w/o any luck.

TDC appears to be working on the new dual zone double din plate so they might have the wiring diagram (they've got a new JDM connection). It'd be more applicable to yours since it's dual zone.

Good luck!

No clipping involved! The wheel side of the harness has all the wires (car side is missing them), put a tap on before that connector with a new wire. Route that to the radio wire harness and use another tap.

If you've got the factory sub use the 2nd connector further back.

Not sure how to ask this but I'll preface this by saying I'm coming from a mountain bike background.

I like the ride height and I don't want to change that as I do have to do some dirt/rough road driving. However I don't like the amount of body roll and dive. I've got some cobb bars and that helps but does make the ride a little rough, but there's still the issue of dive.

On my bike I'd up the low speed/force dampening (e.g. use a thicker oil, or smaller hole), then lighten up the high speed/force so the big hits are less harsh. Spring rate seems fine since I doubt I'm bottoming out (dual rate with the same overall rate would probably help). I'd think this would prevent dive and roll yet still be compliant.

Are the OEM struts simple orifice compression/rebound dampeners? Do all coilover/aftermarket struts digressive (e.g. use shim stacks or position sensitive orifices)?

^^^ Bump for awesome diagram I was looking for a week ago!

I think the Stud is 200910340, otherwise its 10mm with a 1.25 pitch.

...this topic is HUGE!!!

 

SOmeone have probably asked this question, but I am going to ask it anyway 'cause I don't have time to read 60~some odd pages of replies.

 

If I were to install this product...does it mean that everything I plug into the Mini Plug AUX IN...i.e. Laptop, XM, Navi... (including my OEM in-dash CD Changer) will be automatically EQ adjusted through my Clean Sweep and out to my amps-speakers-subs???

 

The reason why I am asking is...Clean Sweep does have an AUX IN, but it bypasses through the EQ...so it would sound stockish!!!

 

 

Thanks,

 

 

CRAZY KEN

I think you'd get higher quality from the clean sweep in since the jazzy-in will be "de-tuned" by the clean sweep "re-tuning". (E.g. I think that the signal processing is applied to the signal prior to the jazzy-in.)

Well I can confirm that it works with the MP3/VDC CD version! The board looks the same as yours.

Install went really well, those instructions are much clearer then anything else I've seen for taking the dash apart. The only thing I'd note is that it appeioars that radio/amp ribbon connector is single sided so I don't think you can screw that connection up (because the ribbons are single sided as well). As for the ribbon from the CD to adaptor as long as it's not twisted it's in there fine.

Also where's everyone putting their cables? When I find a small mini-jack I was going to try to find a place to put it inside the center consol.

Unfortunately nothing yet, then again mine's going through a corporate mail system as well.

What are you thinking of for Rev 2? Autosense/mix/off switchable on both CD/Radio? Ipod controls? Serial/Ipod text display?

Heh. You know, I may just buy an Ipod for this too. I think it would be pretty cool to make a much more complicated board with the ability to interpret CD commands from the amp/HU and use that to control an Ipod or even a Carputer...depending on what the capabilities of the com bus are I may even be able to display track names on the radio...does anyone know if the MP3 version of the head unit displays track names? If so, I would bet the only significant difference between the two stereos is the CD changer module.

It only displays the Filename or foldername, however this should be enough. It doesn't auto scroll when the text is too long, but I'm guessing the CD controls that (rather then the radio buffering it) so that the radio modules could be identical between the MP3 and non-MP3 versions.

I called around a few junkyards & the 6-CD from our 2.5 costs around $275. The guy I talked to also had the MP3 version from a 3.0 and didn't know what the diff was so he changed the price from $350 and quoted that one at $275 too...spiffy...I might just pick one of those MP3 version up and then I can swap mine to test both versions.

FYI I've got one of the MP3 ones, so I'll verify that the adaptor works. I seriously doubt they'd change it since they'd have to redesign the radio for the MP3 version.

Jazzymt, I thought I read somewhere that you were trying to determine what the other pinouts were on the ribbon cable, any luck with that? Is the mute a single line or digital?
