jasonlycett Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Hi All Purchased all the kit from sexton's as recommended in the other threads to fit a new JVC double din unit. Very dissapointed with the quality of the fascia plate as the gaps are huge and it just doesnt look right to eyes. Anyway i have more of an issue with the adaptor, the instructions are a bloody joke to be honest. It doesnt make clear whether im supposed to splice some wires together into the 16 pin adaptor, or remove the old ones and fit these. In addition it says there are t-tap connectors included ?. firstly , there are no connectors of any sort included in the pack, secondly, i located the 16 pin connector and found it has far more wires going into it than shown on the instructions (shown below). Am i supposed to remove the wires , fit some sort of connector pin and refit, or am i supposed to remove them and splice together with the new white grey and purple wires coming from the adaptor and shown in the pic? To make things more confusing the colour of the wires on my UK spec car are different to the colours belonging to the 16 pin connector in the instructions! Any help would be appreciated!

Danny 350Z Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Husky has just fitted mine. You'll have a redundant white plug which is your steering and bluetooth adaptor that doesn't fit into the new harness. You just need to splice those 3 wires into the relevant wire at the back of that plug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yokomo Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 ok ignore the colours on the car half and just go for the locations of the wires. youl need some wire taps whihc may or may not be included the looklike a little clasp that goes around the wire to tap and the other one goes in the end. if youve got gaps ot the facia have you got the right one ? my double dine plate was way too itght and even after cutting some back the unit wont flip (dont need it to luckily). the wire tap is alittle fidly and you may need to pull back some of the bundling on the loom but its not that hard .

MacW Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 If I remember right from when I did mine the colour map on the instructions wasn't 100% accurate, however the locations of wires A, B & C in the illustration were correct so I simply connected the incartec wires to the colour combinations that were correct and used the illustration to figure out where the last one was supposed to go.

buster Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 did you get any pics of the wiring completed.just want to check out where i am going wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitey Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Here's a pic from when i did mine: It's not very clear but the bottom wire is the light grey one. white - red & green purple - yellow & green grey - orange & silver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Quads Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 This is one of the annoyances of the recent ICT looms as they used to be complete with all the plugs. Unfortunately they can no longer get the plugs so its a DIY job (that said no worse than the other looms out there) I've updated my thread with the colours to connect up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitey Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Here's a few more pictures which should hopefully make it clearer: Locate the three wires and cut them from the loom. Cover the unused ends with heatshrink. Unwrap the three cables from the loom Solder the three wires to the ITC loom white - red & green purple - yellow & green grey - orange & silver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitey Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Tape the connector up as it is no longer required Connect the new earth from the ITC loom to a suitable place Connect the loom and try and find somewhere to hide this lot!!!!!!!!

whitey Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 There's a bit of play in the holes which mount the trim to the head unit so i managed to keep loosening them off and moved the trim around until it stopped catching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magrillz Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 mine still dosent work....put it down to a faulty unit. What setup have you got there. Have you definitely got the right adapter for your headunit? For instance, I know the sextons direct web site says for the Pioneer to use 29-007 however the correct one is actually the 29-020. I'm sure you have alll the right bits but just in case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did buy this is august though so chances of a refund or replacement are pretty unlikley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Quads Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 RE the different Pioneer leeds I have sent a mail to ICT to find out what the score is as they list two compatible with pionner - both the 29-007 and 29-020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buster Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 right after more searching i am going to give it one last shot an order one of these a ICT 29-020 hopefully that will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitey Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 When I had trouble with my adaptor i rang incartec (who make them) directly, they were absolutely brilliant and know exactly what you'll need. At the time my Pioneer headunit had only just come onto the market so I sent them the loom and the headunit and they tweeked their software to make it work, said there was a bug in the old loom. Might be worth a call? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 350Z Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 right after more searching i am going to give it one last shot an order one of these a ICT 29-020 hopefully that will work. The 29-020 IS the correct harness. Mine works a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Quads Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 After speaking with ICT they have now confirmed they have been having a number of issues with the 29-007 Pioneer loom. They have now released a new one which has extra chips in it to make it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
