anyone know why i can get my speakers to work went i replaced the radio. i know the new nor OEM update works with other speakers. is the a buried amp that has to be integrated in the mix. and with wires do it out of the OEM infinity radio with Nav?

thanks for help ahead of time

 

I guess English is not your mother tongue. Can you get someone to rewrite the question or ask it in your native language. Thanks.

 

sorry i cant be perfect. Strokes tend to do that to a person, it looks ok as it writing and even when you reread it- take a special person to tell someone how bad they are - why dont you think about that next time and try and be helpful rather sarcastic
thanks so much for your help

 

I have replaced my radio w/ Nav and have installed the new unit however i have no speakers. I would like to know how to energize the speakers, i guess they go thur an AMP in the LTD version Xfire. even thou i know wining for the speakers, power, acc and ground there are still a couple i know their functions and was hoping the others might be a AMP power and speed adjust for volume, etc.. I really dont want to mess with control modules

 

Sorry but we have people on here that come from around the world and sometimes their posts are not able to be understood and yours was in that category. I cannot be a mind reader and your handicap should have been pointed out by you and naturally I would have made allowances for it.
I was not being sarcastic but I guess you can get a bit snappy with people at times. Again, sorry.

 

Did you buy the wiring adapter/harness to fit the OEM stereo wiring? I'm posting the following since I don't know what you have actually done.


Splice and Attach theHarness:

1. When splicing the Scosche harness to the aftermarket harness that comes with your new headunit remember that you can do this inside.
2. Match the colors of each wire and crimp them together with the crimp caps. Do this for all the wires EXCEPT the Red, Yellow, and Blue wires. The constant and switched power wires are flipped, so you will need to connect the Red wire of the Scosche harness to the Yellow wire of the aftermarket one and the Yellow wire of the Scosche harness to the Red wire of the aftermarket harness. The Blue antenna wire on the Scosche unit is actually the remote wire. Attach the Blue-White wire from the aftermarket harness to the Blue wire on the Scosche harness. (See Picture) It is usually recommended that you use the RCA Pre-Outs in the back of your aftermarket unit so that you do not blow out your speakers. However, I have yet to have any problems. I haven't seen any posts with problems from this either.
3. Now is a good time to run the wires for a Line-In connection to an iPod or any other device (See below)

 

thanks for saying sorry. yes, people from around the world come to find help, that would have been rude to them as well, just so you know and it not a lecture. People with handicaps and disabilities- dont wave their hands to draw attention to them self's.
But again thank you, your bigger person to admit and say sorry - some dont.
with that said, back to my cars problem and the radio/Nav wiring- does one of the wires from the radio power the AMP? and anything other wires i need to be sure and hook up?

 

From the above post..


Blue antenna wire on the Scosche unit is actually the remote wire. Attach the Blue-White wire from the aftermarket harness to the Blue wire on the Scosche harness.

Thanks, so there is no powering the AMP from the radio - old or new (is it always on? the AMP when the cars on). So you just bypass the speaker wires at the connector and got into the AMP with the RCA's from the new unit.
Damn, thought i could power the AMP at the connector and use the speakers connections... Little more work than planned and good thinking - i might forget and not run those line worrying about the speakers
great....

 

I haven't "refreshed my memory".. but I think the blue wire is amp turn on. Here is a thread with everything you need.

https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...et-stereo.html

 

As you can see from the diagram, the amp is powered from a separate fuse than the head unit.

 

Like I said.. been a while.. I used the rd/yellow as remote turn on for my added subwoofer amp.

 

Mrmiata

thank you, that was a lot of good information. I will be looking for your help in the future.
Question? what is your take on the Cam sensor - my son is going nuts, he has replaced one and the random shut-downs came back. he didn't get the problem till he changed out a radio on a basic Xfire and the mechanic is pointing him at the control module or computer
thanks again

 

Your most welcome! 180 is a great source for information too..

Sometimes you just need a grain of salt with him though.. (Canadian.. )

Changing the radio should have nothing to do with the shutdowns.. Is he getting a check engine light?

Crank Positiong Sensor (CPS) or Relay Control Module (RCM) are the normal causes for random shut downs. Cam sensor is kind of the "odd man out" on problems, but does happen on occasion.
One strong word of advice.. Make sure your replacing with a Bosch brand!

In my signature below are links to both (just click on them).

 

Mrmiata, you said if i use my new radio and AMP of the Xfire i stand a chance of blowing my speakers. your suggesting i dont to avoid that ugly issue. my new unit as a pre-amp power - does it matter - can i use with the xfire AMP - or dont test my luck.
trying not to wear you out sorry
i will go away and leave you alone, trying to get my head around the options

 

Your okay.. LOL.

That wasn't my post about blowing speakers.. I have an aftermarket in mine.. Clarion 200 watts from speaker leads that I used instead of RCA out - tied in to the stock amp, and have no issues. At a volume level of 25 there is no more increase through the amp, so I don't try to push it higher than that.

I'm at work right now.. but if you get confused about what to do.. I can tell you what has worked fine for me later this evening.

 

I used the pre-amp control from my new receiver to power the Xfire AMP and the speakers worked (good news). Chrysler however didn't provided separate front and back wiring, just right and left...
The other Ops, I shorted the ACC on the Xfire side, replaced the fuse but still can't get key-on ACC power from the the car ACC. Have to trace that out; a work around - I put the ACC of the radio to Car Battery + for now and that works. Not the best way but it will help me setup the other fuctions till I fix or re-run a new ACC line for the new radio from the car.

 

Glad to hear you got some sounds back!

Just an FYI .. if your not 4v output on the pre-amp.. your volume level is going to suffer. A search for 4 channel amp
should bring up details if you want front/rear control. I did this for mine... and was well worth the time and effort.

 

Mrmiata
Chrysler didn't wire the back speakers separate they combined the front and back. I will meter the pre amp output to make sure of the voltage. See my logic is not bad but my writing took a big hit- not to say it was any good to start but the stroke sure gave me a great excuse for what is now the worst expressive writing.
Off the top of you head, do you know where the ACC line 'in" from the car comes from? My fuses are all good, so i probably burn the line "in"
Still trying to trace sons problem with the sensor, his car restart after awhile then when you restart run to normal run temperature it shuts down and the cooling fans go into overdrive (really crank up to MAX)

 

Actually the rear speakers are wired separately ... but they use the same input feed.. they split the line between the Head Unit and amp somewhere in the harness. The amp diagram shows separate feeds for left/right front left/right rear. You just have to cut them at the amp input end and splice in a new lead back to the head unit. If you know what model Head unit you have you should be able to search the internet for specs to determine 2v or 4v output.

Sorry but I don't have anything handy on the ACC line. Maybe someone will jump in that has it at hand. Did you check the threads in my signature links for the CPS and RCM on the shutdown issue?
