Amplified aerial

[AdamRoutley]

Had my new head unit arrive today. Along with it all, the cables needed as guided by Dynamic Sounds.

One thing that is confusing me..where does the blue cable on the amplified aerial connect to? Anybody have a picture? Also, the green cable that says "handbrake cable" do I just connect that one to an earthing point?

I believe the handbrake cable is so that certain things gets disabled when moving like a DVD. If you don't connect it or bypass the handbrake then your screen won't go blank when moving....I think

Connect the blue wire either to the blue wire that comes out of your head unit for trigger for an amplifer or ignition feed, if you ground the green wire, you will be able to watch dvd whilst driving, which is illegal.

Nice one guys. There is a blue out which I presume is for an external amp. I will scotch into that so that I can still use the connection when I use an external amp for a sub etc..

yeah as above, blue aerial onto a positive on the stereo wiring loom or ignition live, then green to ground.

Nice one Jarre. Gonna give it a go tomorrow when I've got my Fascia

 

[AdamRoutley]

One last thing. Should these two be connected? the blue/white cables?

I intend to scotch the aerial onto this too..?

 

[Jarre]

nope don't think so. Literally blue aerial cable onto red positive. and the green parking brake cable to ground (black) if you want to be able to watch DVDs and videos on the move

You're a star Jarre. Thanks again and apologise for all the questions
