Freelander H/K Audio Strange Issue !!

Ok guys, Odd one here as nothing seems wrong although it seems odd it is working, I took out the CD / Nav Radio and installed an aftermarket Pioneer DAB. It has the Harmon System fitted ( Amp under Seat ). Am i correct in thinking that it shouldn't just work fine ? Meaning i'm sending raw amplified Power to the Power amp ?? All speakers work fine and sound fine including the Rear mounted Sub. I didn't even have to change the harness, The only thing i lost was obviously the Steering wheel controls. Does this sound right if it's still going through the HK Power amplifier ? Thanks in advance.

Looking at the wiring diagram. The standard Becker nav connects to the HK amp on normal wires. So I assume it takes standard speaker inputs. Normally if an amp takes low level inputs, it's fed with screened leads.


Doesn't your new HU have programmable steering wheel controls as many do now.

Thanks for the Prompt Reply Nodge, That does make sense meaning it's a High Input i suppose, Yes it does but the cable is quite expensive and to be honest i don't use it enough to justify spending £35 on a cable, Many thanks again.
