That is just to get the steering wheel control signal to a different section of the AVC 9000's motherboard etc.

IT wiill not do the up down track buttons but should do mute and volume and source.

Well, Now done the install, and everything seems to sort of function.
Did have one unusual happening though. Just sitting in the car doing some reading of the manual, and lo and behold, the radio stations go into seeking mode, and change. A bit wierd I thought.
Might just be a startup thing, so will monitor it for a few days to see if it settles down.
After a quick phone call to gtimk5 I had enough confidence to rip out the rear of the car and do the camera install.
He was a very great help. Thankyou.

yeah +1 for help from GTIMK5

We had issues with the Cap/diode on our install. Power to/from the camera was dodgy at best and it took a long time to get an image on the screen, then the cap/diode started getting HOT...then went cold, and the system would not produce an image.

Turns out that the diode had blown and the soldering on the cap/diode was dodgy at best. Off to JayCar electronics who were very helpful ("nah...we don't stock that item").

Then to RS (Radio Spares?) @ Osborne Park....they had the capapcitors, but no diodes, have to order them in.

The camera install may be finished when I come home next time.

Anyone with a AVC9000 have issues with STEREO while in Radio mode?
When in the FM band, there always appears MONO against the FM stations. The virtual button on the bottom, where the manual says a "ST"switch should be, has one marked ÄF or TA.
None of these appears to switch between Stereo or Mono.
Anyone got any suggestions?

From the source menu go into setup, turn RDS to off then go back to the radio and you will see ST, press it to change to stereo Can go back into setup on source screen and turn back on rds if you wish

Fo shizzle.

My avc9000 has grown on me so much. Once you fit a sub woofer to the system it just sounds fantastic. CAuse you can turn the bass down on the front speakers and let them just do the mid and treble.

Its such good value for the money.

****HELP****
And I don't need any suggestions about what I should have bought...thankyou.

The AVC is now installed...thanks zz2 & mrX (& Tim).

Problem is with the GPS (Navi) screen. It seems that the "touch" menu options on the screen are all arse about face. The icons appear in the lower half of the screen, but the touch function for each icon is diagonally opposed to where it should be. Also, the Navi screen now has moved some millimeters to the left, making it even harder to select any options.

I had taken a back up of the SD card, and since this issue, have reformatted the card and reloaded the OEM files. No good.

I have done a full reset (little pin in reset hole...top right hand corner). No good.

Radio works fine. Clock works fine. DVD works fine. Reverse camera not working yet (as the cap/diode blew up during install....awaiting new components from Radio Spares). USB connection works. BT works. Farken Navi screen is ar.e about face. Therefore no GPS software/maps etc.

Suggestions?

[allypally]

I have never heard of a "mirror" image on a Navi screen.
All I could suggest is that you re synch the touch screen.

[FJ Steve]

Also....a recalibration of the touch screen has been done. No good.

Does the Route 66 and Tom Tom have the same problem? (ie screen calibration and tough button wrong?)

[blutopless2]

getting mine installed next monday.

[allypally]

In the AVC9000 setup screen (tools) there is a "mirror" switch. You might try that. However, I think that relates to the Reverse Camera image only. Just a thought.

[allypally]

From the source menu go into setup, turn RDS to off then go back to the radio and you will see ST, press it to change to stereo Can go back into setup on source screen and turn back on rds if you wish

As explained to me by Polarbear66

Thanks for that. It worked.

I've got my AVC-9000 today from Auspack.

Now I need to organize it to be installed. Can you recommend me any place in Melbourne where I can install it? Or may be it doesn't worth it and it's easy to install it by myself? Or I have to have it installed professionally to keep warranty on this unit?

How much did you pay for professional installation?

Thanks

[allypally]

You should be able to easily install the headunit yourself.
The rear cam involves some panel removal and drilling as well as connecting to the reverse light wiring (white at the bulb connection for a GolfV).
