I had no luck getting the LCD board to fire up without the smaller board connected - so I put it on hold until we know if the MOSFET fixes things.
Back to my little
ICC projects this weekend though... The new radio unit I have is from G6E and complains about not being able to talk to the AMP. I checked out my wiring:
Nope, no AMP connectors are present - so there will be no wires for one elsewhere in my car :(
I found one on ebay for $30 though, so I prepared my new unit:
AMP connections, and medium speed
CAN BUS available when I need it by pulling out the tissue box holder! I didn't bother to expose the AMP's shield wire, I'll sort something out later if there's any issue.
I noticed the AMP uses its own 20A fuse, which I also don't have, but I think I'll just wire it into the cigar plug - which is also 20A. The only thing I ever had connected to that was my GPS - which is now in the centre console box for use when the maps in the
ICC are out of date for the route I enter (shouldn't happen too often).
