matt89 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 If you can use an eyelet to Earth the black cable to your front right screw holding the gear stick. I did this today and stopped my kenwood system hissing. Really useful guide here and references the earthing in one of the steps. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/56481-kenwood-ddx-4028bt-rear-cam-install-–-superguide/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex350z Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 Ok everything is working fine, but i have no steering wheel controls! I thought the idea of the loom i bought was to keep them?? Buster....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 make sure it located in the correct port on the unit.......? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex350z Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 make sure it located in the correct port on the unit.......? Is the black box for the steering controls? Because theres a connecter one end that doesnt go anywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 you should have a fly lead with a plug one end to fit the black box and the other end a jack plug that locates into the h/unit.just double check its in the correct locations in the h/unit.
