Help!!

I've just fitted the SONY CDX-GT30RN into my '06 Grand Scenic (including the little yellow cable block) but I've got no display on the dash and no stalk control. Anyone shed any light?

Cheers

I 'think' you need alot of adapters for it to work. I have no stalk control or display either but I think you can get more wiring from somewhere...

when I replaced my headunit I had to buy an adapter which the yellow cable went into along with others and then another cable that was specific to the head unit.

check out this link Car Audio Direct - The UK's leading car audio and stereo resource.

Thanks guys but it's my understanding (from the instructions) that a Renault can be plugged straight into the stereo without other adapters. However, it ain't working for me!

Hi,

Was your original head unit " Tunerlist " or " Update List " ,

Hi

How do I find this out? Is there something on the unit I can look for?

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Looking at the front of your head unit bottom right corner it should say " Update list " or " Tuner List " .

Hi

Ok, it says Update. Is that good or bad ?!?

Cheers

 

[ottoman]

That's the latest model, your Sony should simply plug & play .

Hmm, thanks for your help and I was worried you would say that - sadly, no such luck. Anyone else have any ideas?

Weird ! It appears that I've got the right 'old' radio and purchased the right 'new' radio. Everything fits but still no joy.

Do you think some wiring may need to be altered?

I have seen the standard ISO connectors before but do you think is it the little yellow block that is causing me my problems?

 

[ottoman]

I'm not sure it should just plug and play, Renault sell these for well over £250 fitted, try your old head unit in again se if everything is still ok with that.

Yep, tried that and the old head unit still works - DOH!

The 'Little Yellow' block is a mini ISO and it is that plug which creates the display and the remote control ability.

Hi
was told by local car stereo shop that these cables dont work on ALL stereos even if it is the correct one for your car/stereo.... usually say "steering control ready" on the box and usually more expensive in the range.
He said JVC are the best to go for as they do "steering control ready" on the cheaper end.... was recommended JVC KD G431 plus the relevant steering control adaptor and the interface leads.

CAN Interface

if you radio says update list you will need a can interface, the only company i could find was incar technologies the 29-800 works with my 2006 megane cc, its expensive though over £100 and you will need a fly wire to suit the sony headunit.
