cooky1988 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 My HU have up the ghost a while ago and I bought one from the US with the aux mod already done to it. Problem is the controls on the wheel don't work and the display lights up when the lights are off and goes off when they're on! Also the frequency doesn't seem to do even numbers. Just wondering if anyone has had the same issues and found, if any solutions? Many Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grundy Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I'd be surprised if anyone else even bothered doing this (Don't mean to sound rude) A lot of effort and risk purchasing from the USA. Why didn't you just buy a second hand one from the UK? Or just upgrade to a new HU? Just my 2cents, but US is left hand drive, could that also mean the plugs plug in to the buttons the other way round than a UK one? So basically plug it in back to front. Even that I don't think it will work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Frequency bands are different to the UK, just like JDM stereos which also need a band expander to work on UK cars. Also check for differences in the US wiring looms compared to UK wiring looms. As before, if one of the reasons to get a US one is for the module slot for aux connectivity, then it would have been easier to get an aftermarket upgrade. Hope it was cheap enough tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
