View Full Version : problem
ok i have searched for this but can not seem to find the answer that i am looking for.
ok...i conected my cd player up to the car, it was all well and good and working fine, then i put a PC9-106 wire in aswell so that i could use my steering wheel controls, but after i put this cable in the cd player started resetting itself all the time, and i couldn't seem to find out why as before it was fine, so i was fidling with the wires and ended up blowing the fuse in the engine bay fuse box, so off to get a new one of those today, any ideas what i can do to resolve this?
the cd player is a sony, and i like it cos it does everything i could posibly need!

well for starters its a SOny
u have both parts of the adaptor for the steering controls
check the merory wire if the head unit matches the memery of the car. this happened to me so i cut the ignition and the memeory and swap them over so the merory was with merory and ignition with ignition.
I had exact same problem, although i used the PC99-X06 and PC99-SON. Now it works, just tried it again. Maybe you need the xo6 i have a spare SON if u need it.
well the memory was workin fine, then i put the pc9-106 cable in and the steering wheel worked controls worked fine but the cd player kept resetting, so i was playing round with the different red and yellow wires as they are bullet conectors then the controls stopped working and so did the memory on the cd stoped working aswell, so then i kept messing and the fuse blew
lol.
Check all connections are tight that was my problem.
check the merory wire if the head unit matches the memery of the car. this happened to me so i cut the ignition and the memeory and swap them over so the merory was with merory and ignition with ignition.i am guessing this is the most likely problem, which is the ignition and memory wire, i think it has probably got swaped over and the steering wheel cable thing?
ye the same is actually happening to me again now. very annoyed. I think its a loose connectons cos its turning itself off aswell. Im gonna check all the connections and see if they are all working properly
ok, so i got a new fuse and the cd player is back working now thankgod, i thought i had killed it, when i put the pc9-106 wire in to make the steering wheel controls work it happens all over again, it resets every time and goes off with the ignition, so im guessing these wires need swaping but dont know which ones to swap.
im guessing red and yellow, im gonna investigate later and can tell you for sure once i get it workin
keep the red on red and yellow to yellow on the steering wheel thing and up the power of ur fuse in the engine bay n ul b ok m8
how come that will work, wat fuse should i put in, is it reseting because the box on the cable is drawing some of the power and therefore not enough is going to the headunit to keep the settings?
ur fuse is 5 amp at the moment isnt it upgrade it to a 10 amp and wat way r ur wires like yellow to red and vice versa
at the moment...the fuse is the standard 20amp in the engine bay, the red and yellow wires are both conected to the yellow
on the stalk put the red in the red and the yellow in the yellow u dont need to swap them round cus the stalk does that for you
ok ill do that, and wat size fuse do i need then?
if u already got a 20 tht shud b ok just do the wires n ul b ok
ok just been to the car and tried it, if i conect red to red and yellow to yellow as u say then, the headunit doesn't turn on, but i am able to eject cd's and insert them, so im guessing from this that there is only enough power to work this function?
if i conect both to the yellow wire then everything works fine and the memory saves, but it doesnt go off with the ignition?
what i want is for it all to save but go off with the ignition lol?
this a sony headunit is it new cus id take tht back cus i got sony and that stalk thing n mines just red to red n yellow to yellow n all works
did u try the ignition wen u swapped it round
mb put red to yellow and yellow to red, you tried all other possibilities so may aswell give that a go
yer iv tried all the posibilities i can think of, it all works fine now except i have to turn it off when i stop the car it doesnt go off with the ignition, the only thing i could think of to do this was like i said before when i put red to red and yellow to yellow i can eject a cd but not turn it on, so i rekon there is not enough power going to it, so i could possibly put a bigger fuse in to compensate this but i didnt want to risk it.
so how have u got them at the moment?
at the moment both red and yellow wires are conected to the yellow wire, this keeps all the settings and can be used without the key in the ingition, but doesnt go off with the ignition.
ok. maybe on the headunit loom, because we had to swap it over in the first place maybe we have to swap them back? and leave teh remote loom as it is?
do u have the same lead that i have? i was thinking of upgrading the fuse to get more power to the head unit,dunno if itd work
ive got the PC99 X06, together with the PC99 SON it is basically the same thing
what do each of the controls do for you?
the buttons on the left hand side of the steering wheel change track and radio station and change between cd radio and auxilary, on the right hand side, they change the volume and the ATT i think this is turning the sub off or sumin cos it goes really quite when i press this
att is just a mute button turns all vloume down its if you wanna talk or pick up the fone etc.
Ye mine does all of that so i dont see the difference
how much did u pay for the wires, i paid 15 for mine
lol need more than that, bumped ma car last night desperatly need money, reserve of 25-30 and postage 10-15 should do nicely on the bay

soz rong thread lol
have you tried connecting the wires with out them both bein in the yellow one cus it allows 2 wires to connect to it really it should work wit red in red n yellow in yellow cus the stalk control switches them
also u know ur fuse in the engine bay what else does the fuse control cus on mine it was just the stereo and the electric windows because then upgrade fuse size
OK smit. I had a look and its al sorted on mine now. Put the two wires exactly how they were when you got them, and the first loom, the headunit loom, make the red go to red and yellow go to yellow. mine works perfectly like that now. :D:D

ive got a sony head unit, with the steering controls, i literally didnt fiddle with a single wire wen i got it, and cant say ive had a problem, which wires have u been swapping coz the thread is confusin me!
mine works fine it just doesnt go off with the ignition, does urs go off with the ignition?
the fuse on the head unit is 10amp and in the engine bay it is 20amp, when i connect red to red and yellow to yellow there doesnt seem to be enought power to turn the cd player on, only enough to eject a cd
I just read the manual of the headunit it tells you how to wire it in each circumstance
i cnt find that at the mo
