oh lol , sorry didnt notice it lmao , never read bout the method

I believe method2 (tap to CD line) is much better for clarity
is there anyway to bypass the CD altogether, no need to put in silent CD?

to save cost
just chg your engine oil n oil filter.
spark plug not necessary
air filter...ask them to blow
coolant...top up with tap water....or if u want to flush the coolant, buy a bottle only. the rest top up with tap water.
gear oil not necessary

just did my 20k service at COE.

cost me initially ~RM280 (labour included). after that they informed me that my drain plug is damaged and need to change. so have to pay RM305.55 total.

drain plug few ringgit only -.-

LAST CALL, PLS SMS me 012 - 691 6321

TT is ON

means that i sudah kena tipu sama COE??

erh, he's asking free gift when buying new car, but u r like advising him what to do when service our car.

i tot drain plug less than rm10?

lj0000,

the 1 hypermount posted the link b4. on how to activate aux in, cannot be use? do u mean need to reflash cos they disable it edy? can u post ur diy "step by step"?

btw u should post it at savoc too.

save cost? isnt it a car tint more expensive than having the engine oil and oil filter changed?

stupid shell worker. the hell. he open my fuel cap too large end up i cannot close the cap nemore.

it cannot lock. so sad!

David's midnight posting:
Savvy simplified aux in method!

hijack the radio signal. tested very clean like cd!

Tools needed:
1. fine tip soldering iron
2. de-soldering braid. if dun have can just use normal sucker
3. soldering tin
4. ribbon cable. (steal from old floppy disk cable)
5. 3.5mm socket. (steal from old rm5 china radio)
6. bench power supply 12VDC. (if dun have, use ur modem power, power brick, atx psu etc)
7. multimeter.
8. a small piece of wire as antenna
9. speakers
10. mini stereo to mini stereo cable, MP3 player


Step by step
1. Dismantle your unit - look in savoc for hint on how to do this. Savoc step by step upgrade
2. flip over belly up, and unhinge the back plate. No need to unscrew anything.
There are several metal clips, just slightly push them to open.
warranty sticker is voided at this point
3. identify the hijack point: radio audio out


4. Identify the Audio output port L and R. Desolder them carefully. It must be very clean. after desolder, use a multimeter to ensure no continuity. If you fail this part, you will need to resort to cutting the PCB trace.


5. carefully solder the ribbon cable to the PCB board. careful not to let too much tin go and short the pins to pcb. if so, go back to step 4 and clean again.
These cables will go into preamp.


6. now, seal it with tape. then solder the ribbon cables ON THE TIP OF THE PINS.
if not careful and spill too much tins, go back to step 4.
These cables returns the radio signal to preamp.


7. at the socket part, do your soldering too.


8. clean up, use multimeter to test and retest no short circuit occur
power up!
use the radio, and tune to any station. make sure got radio sound come out.
now, plug the mini-stereo cable. this should mute the radio sound
fire up your mp3 player. songs shud play thru the speakers.


9. go have a drink and celebrate a bit.

10. while you are at it the pcb. why not add another wire for steering remote control?


11. i prefer to have a solid connection. so i use a strip board to tidy up
carefully tape away potential short circuit points, and put the cover back.
Viola!


next step will be to mount it. maybe i will go shop for a better connector, drill a hole at the face plate to mount the aux-in port.
another next step more....get a usb based mp3 player and solder directly

lj0000, good tutorial there.

u mentioned steering mounted remote control, referring to Persona steering?

hi anyone has the map to RS auto services?

steering remote is being mapped out
8k = mode
1k = vol up
2k = seek -

u can use any steering wheel as long as the ohm is same

WOW, so nice
congrats, david u get it done

Share your DIY steering remote next time!!

should be somewhere around here.

Those who frequent Mr Hoe Specialist center, plz correct me if i'm wrong

WHY go to RS auto services??

specialist for what?

too bad i cant use the steering remote unless i am scarificing the airbags
