Legacy BP with Aftermarket stereo dim clock/AC


killervq30de

Recommended Posts

Put the JDM 2DIN dash kit in with aftermarket stereo and the clock/AC is dim like in night mode/headlights on

 

Can anyone confirm how to fix it? 

 

I have already cut the i85 plug off (using 2 of the 3 wire for Steering Wheel Controls) leaving the Green wire #8 which is for dimmer.

 

What can i connect the Green #8 wire to without having to mess with the i88 connector?

From legacy GT site where they have to add wires from stock wiring harness to handle the JDM (our) AC units :

 

Add a wire to pins, 2,4 and 8 on the i88 connector(hvac) Doesn't matter what color, just "jam" them in and zip tie the wires so they won't pull out. I also wrapped the wires around the harness(see pic) so they would have a little more play. the other ends of the those 3 wires will be spiced in(either side of the radio plug see pic for placement) if you do not want to splice into your factory wiring(as I didn't) you can put the illumination ground or negative or whatever you want to call it(-) onto regular ground, however you will only have 2 settings dim and bright(ok for me)

The non- ghetto way just requires you to add actual pins to the harness but seeing as I don't have those, its ghetto but it works.

I did not have any issues with wiring nor I had to cut anything.

 

Plug'n'play for the stereo pretty much (with ISO harnesses), no dimming issues. For SWC I just tapped into i85, not sure why you cut the i85 off completely.

Clock sits on a different harness, factory stereo/AC controls have their own dimming wire so I am not sure why both act the same and stay dim all the time. 

 

Find pin-outs for the stereo harness and see if dimming wire on yours is at correct pin.

I always have my headlights on regardless of day or night so don’t think I ever even bothered setting it up.

Have heard of people whinging about the brightness of this kit regardless of dimmed/non dimmed mode but don’t mind it myself.

I also have my headlights on the whole time. I use the little wheel to adjust the brightness of the clock and illumination. My pioneer screen is set up separately based on time of day.

With the stereo I could only use the speaker ISO plug. As the Android head unit, for the power iso plug also had the swc controls built in while the stereo adapter doesn't, couldn't easily add pins. Used the radio provided iso plug that had bare ends to make the power and swc connections.  The radio dims just fine when lights are turned off and goes bright when back on.

 

The i85 plug has a green dimmer wire, I presumed based on the US site information above that the dimmer wire goes into stereo and comes  back out on the i85 to body unit and then to the ac/clock.  I'm never going back to factory so it didn't bother me about chopping the i85 plug.

 

If the i85 doesnt affect clock or hvac, I can't see why they always stay dim. Especially if you guys are just using stock iso adapters and not touching the i85 except for swc

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
