hi guys ive just bought an in dash dvd player
it has lots of features and **** loads of wires inputs outputs etc
ive fitted quite a few stereos but none with all these extra wires
my q. is im trying 2 wire an amp up 4 my subs plugged in the rca to aux in but there is no wire usually its blue remote wire 2 run from head unit 2 the amp ?
where do i run the blue wire from the amp to ?
thanks

 

what make is it

 

hi m8 thanks 4 reply i bought it off ebay
link :4.3"TOUCHSCREEN/Bluetooth car DVD/CD/MP3/TV/DivX player on eBay, also DVD VCD Players, DVD Players Monitors, In-Car Entertainment GPS, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 13-Jan-08 18:15:00 GMT)

 

the thin blue wire i presume. if it is then thats your remote lead, it should match up to the back of your hU. usually they are all marked or labelled. its a case of connecting the remote lead to the remote outlet on the back of it.

 

i carnt understand why it wouldnt have a blue wire. does it say anythin in the manual about it.

 

just had a look at the back of your HU and id try and "STUFF" the blue wire from the amp into the radio aerial and see if that works. it does appear to be very different, i say the radio aerial because connecting the remote lead from the HU to the remote lead in the standard loom (instead of just the amplifier) gave me better radio signal.

It may help lol.

 

Looking at the pictures, I'd say it'd be the blue wire (which is the standard ISO colour) that comes out of the back of your unit.

Either that or use the switched live from the car wiring loom - it won't switch your amp off when you turn the head unit on/off but it will switch the amp on/off when the car is switched on/off.

"Stuffing" the wire into the aerial socket won't do anything as it's not powered - if it was, anyone touching the aeiral would have 12v flowing though them.

 

its worth a try. cant do u any harm or your amp. its all protected.

 

thanks 4 all your replies and help guys
got it sorted now
where have you guys found the best place in the car 2 fix the aerial 4 the tv and radio reception

 

soz but i dont have the tuner for mine its like 200quid lol. how did you solve the problem in the end?

 

I have a covering over the rear "shelf" - mines a bugeye

I opened the boot and there is enough movement in the covering and the metalwork to hide the tv tuner ariels under it.

The radio one is connected to the car ariel
