i forget if its 05 or 54 which is the first of canbus lead thingy...

ive its the ISO lead you need, they sell it everywhere.

go cablesexpress.co.uk, on the home page go ISO LEADs, then vauxhall corsa, and itll ping up for under £9 iirc..

54plate 1800sri

27-10-2006, 09:24

is there something different i would have on th stereo or cable if i had th canbus system?

looked at the pic on that site martin, that block looks like it would connect to whats in th car now. and then the other end into the alpine?? would that be right??

what is the canbus system all about then?

54plate 1800sri

27-10-2006, 09:27

the pic of the block tho, it would fit into that block but then id have the clpi thing i mentioned above to think about!

this is becoming a right hasstle!! bl**dy stereos!

Martin

27-10-2006, 09:27

canbus is just coz its differnt in the later models, no idea why tbh.

yeah the iso lead plugs into factory loom, and then alpine plugs into other end.

Martin

27-10-2006, 09:28

i have NO idea if yours is or not. i dont know much about vauxhall standard stereo's :| think u need Mr Ka$h to nod or shake his head.

MY05 model cars are 'Mini-ISO' which incorporates the CanBUS signals. What's the model number of your current Vaux HU? If it';s a CD30 then get the mini-ISO connector from BMW(Mini) and be done with it. If not they will plug in direct or you'll just need a standard ISO lead for a few quid ;)

its a cd30 that i currently have.

jus spoke to a car stereo plaec nr me on the phone and he said i need this cable which he has there for 13 squids but it doesnt have an ignition wire or something so that needs to be wired differently? although he said if im happy to switch the hu off manualy (ie not have it go off with the ignition) it will work

omg this is confusing me?!

54plate 1800sri

27-10-2006, 09:45

he also mentioned that its a quadlock one?!

looking at the above mentioned website, the one listed for the mini is a quadlock one too?

Martin

27-10-2006, 09:47

what confuses you? Ka$h just explained it, and then so did a man on the phone...?

buy the mini lead, or the one this bloke has for £13, and its up to you whether you re wire you're lead into ignition live..

i think there was a tutorial by SpeedX im not sure, il go look

ka$h

27-10-2006, 09:48

You have to wire in a live seperately and it works as he described with a perm live. This is one of the problems of the new wiring system. All sounds good and for £13 you can't complain

would the mini quadlock one be what hes offering me then u think??

my headunit is 60wx4 and needs a supply staight off the bat n e way. so i can plug this quadlock thing in, wire the hu to the bat. and then just turn it on and off manualy? am i right?

hey - thanks for all the help guys :) life savers - just need to spk nicely to the boss now see if hell let me go get a cable!

27-10-2006, 11:37

Cant really find anything - just ppl askin the same question or that they have done it and the alarm is sounding and they cant get it to go off!

did find one post saying u have to turn the ignition on then off and quickly disconnect it?

is this right??

if so, cant u just switch th ignition on and then then whack the negative lead off??
