Because you've got Logic 7 you're basically over a barrel. You will need to re-wire the amp that is under the drivers seat, bypass it but leave it fitted otherwise you lose the satnav and 4x4 info.

Hi gents, I have just fitted an XTRONS double din unit to my 05 RRS, it was relatively straight forward tbh once I worked out the issues mentioned, I bought an Amp bypass loom for around £15 from ebay and have everything working as it should, only issue i have is now my radio will not tune into any station, i know the antennas are on the back quarter windows but i assume they take there power through the amp and that's why I'm not getting anything, any ideas?? |

Did you connect the blue wire at the headunit upto the remote output on the radio ?

i will take it apart and have a look, I'm sure the blue remote cable on the new head unit is unconnected to anything, the bypass loom wasn't great if I'm honest but enough to power the stereo and to allow the speaker to work, ill strip it back out and get back to you, thanks for the advice. |

No. Its the solid blue on the large connector, one of the larger 4 terminals. |

I noticed this loom, suitable for diesels.

Followed that blue cable Andy and it seems to be as it should, it connects to "Amp" on the aftermarket unit, I believe this is what would normally be the remote wire but it is a random Chinese unit which conforms to its own standard, they use the CE certificate without certification but they say it just means Chinese engineering..! haha |
