Its Dark over here in Denmark right now, tomorrow when sun is up again, I will try to disconnect the original cd changer and the Bluetooth module, just to see iff I have sound without those two modules.

Maybe a stupid question, but have you tried turn up the volume ?

Well you two have been busy while I was snoozing.

Since it still isn't working lets try to go over it all looking for whats missing.

First what did you have before the install.

Factory nav or mid display?

What have you removed that was factory?

Front display if it was nav?

Cd changer? Bluetooth module? Anything else?

I gutted mine after I had it working as far as other modules. All I have left on mine is the factory amp.

Okay, then there is no reason for me to try that.
But om the lyver hand, why have it there when I can’t use it for anything at all.

First what did you have before the install. Nav with DSP, Bluetooth

Factory nav or mid display? Not sure what you mean here. I have Nav

What have you removed that was factory? Factory head unit, and now only the disk changer. i reconnected the Bluetooth module.

Front display if it was nav? lost me on this.

Cd changer? Bluetooth module? Anything else? now only thing missing is the cd changer

Hmm, let Crowz help you, he is the master blaster, he also helped me out, with the famous no sound problem.
But it explains my bad English .

Do you have dsp ?
Have you the ibus adapter installed ?

i have DSP but dont think i have the Ibus adapter. Not sure what that does.

Crowz · #**1160** 02-10-2018, 02:15 PM

Ok Nav WITH dsp is the problem. You cant use my install as a direct fix for nav with dsp. You have to code the car to think you have a mid in place of nav for it work. The best you can hope for without coding out the nav is 20 seconds of sound if that.

So you need to either get the ncs inpa software and cables off ebay or get someone to code it for you. The ibus adapter it seems will control the dsp but not keep it on. Coding the car to think it has a mid in place of navigation makes it not look for the nav head unit which is what is causing the amp to turn off.

Sorry if Im not super clear on some of these response. I have the flu and it sucks.
