0 Penguin2007 Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 (edited) Most wiring looms are not made 'left hand or right hand'. The car only becomes RHD when effectively the pedals / steering box and dash are installed. (Look at a LHD car dash instrument panel, and its NOT a mirror image - speedo on left, rev on right, all heater controls are same). Another example being - heated front seats - the wiring loam probably includes the cables that are right unto your front seats. If you are lucky, you may even get the heated seats. You don't however have the push buttons to switch them on or the connections from wiring loam cables to seats. I seem to recall that the only difference in fitting, when my Bravo had its rear bumper changed, was there was a coil of cable for both single red fog (off side) and single white ( nearside) reverser. The wizards in FIAT constructor land merely coiled up the excess if they were lazy, or cut and recrimped the cables if it was not Friday afternoon. However that was a long time ago!

0 mikebh8 Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 The first thing when you turn on the radio is the sound, there is no initial setup for audio, it only resets to manufacturer settings if battery disconnected or radio removed.Try finding the mute wire and if by mistake is connected in the wrong place.Hope it helps.

0 bignev Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Yep I'd guess 11 and 22 are the permanent live and ignition on live - anyones guess which is which though. I spotted in another post you look like you got it sorted, switch "on" the screen with the remote control, yes it's daft isn't it! Not the same on all models either as you've seen!

0 mikebh8 Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 The pins 11 and 22 are ground, plus/positive are the ones marked "fuse...(something)" as none of the wires would go straight do the battery "+" is fused and "batt" is negative/minus. http://www.tehnomagazin.com/Auto-radio-car-connector/CHRYSLER-Car-Radio-Wiring-Connector.htm Hope it helps.

0 bignev Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Good you got it sorted, but that reference diagram in the picture is a bit rubbish isn't it? 2, 7 21, and 32 connections say "GND" now I would definitely have gone for ground or earth or negative on that terminal!

Hi all
I have a genuine DVD player for my 2006 GV, however the manual book is for the LHD modes,
My question is do I still follow the manual regardless or just swap sides and put the wires via the rights pillars ?
