    Wiring in stereo...

    Yeah I think that's what I'm going to do :) The more I remove the more joins and ****ty connections in the wire I find! The ignition live is coming off an orange and white wire which I'm not sure what it is?

    Wiring in stereo...

    It's already got it's ignition live from an orange cable. Is this something wiper related? I was going to simply wire a constant live from battery (what cable will I need for this? Earth it to the closest bolt/screw. Connect the ignition live to this orange wire. And then plug the speaker...

    Wiring in stereo...

    After having my hicap 2 days now I'm fed up of the dodgy stereo wiring! Eventually I'd like to stick it in a raptor dash but it'll have to do for now. I want to swap it over to my old headunit but it's hard wired in! A lot of the wires have been cut for some weird reason so I plan on just...

    Hi cap...

    I realised why I don't touch electrics, because they confuse the f*ck outta me! Its probably simple but I'll leave the stereo working to somebody who knows what they're doing.

    Hi cap...

    I've just picked her up :D Decided I may as well use this thread to record my progress with her, rather than start a new one. I doubt it'll be as interesting as other peoples build threads as it will be a bit slower paced... Only problems I've found are dash brake light on (fixed by topping up...

    Hi cap...

    Picking up a 110 'hi cap' on Tuesday. I thought they were rated to 3500kg but when I done an insurance quote it said 3050. What's up with this? Has it just had the hicap back put on?
