try home depot or lowes. I got mine from where I used to work so I didn't have to worry about it and no that is not why I no longer work there.

KID NICE

Ok Fellas Im Doin This Install Im Gettin The Whole Unit And Everyhting For $300 (heres The Catch Thought I Have To Remove It)what Should I Take Out Of The Car
The Obvious Parts ,screeen,antenna,dvd Unit,bezel And Hazard Switch And Bracket But Is There Anything Else

andramir82

First off... Great Deal! Thats the same thing I did but I'm in NYC so everything costs alot more here! Ok.. When I did that, I kept all of the screws so when I screw everything back into place on my car it would look OEM. Also.... I took the entire wiring harness off the car... Its no easy task but it could be done. Only took like 1hr and a half to get everything i needed. Then once you have the wiring harness... take it apart and remove the Navi harnesses and make the taps into your original harness.

KID NICE

Thanks Brother Where In Nyc R Ya Im Out In Long Island

The only thing I didn't see on your list was the climate control section. I am sure you would have grabbed it when you got there but just giving you a heads up. That is a great deal BTW. Wish I was able to get mine for that much. Good luck with the install.

Hey I got a problem with my Navi installation. When i turn on the car the screen came on for about 5 seconds and then it went off. I checked the fuse and it was fine. Is there anything else that I need to check to find out what is wrong?

manejer

Oh BTW if any of you need some Shielded cable I got about 100 ft left of 3 pair cables and a 20 ft strand of 10 pair. Don't ask where I got it from!

Niko2000TL

your screen may have burnt out....see if you can still touch it to work the controls...if you can, then the buld that illuminates the sctual screen my be burnt

njzprettyboy

3 pair cables mean 7 total wires, 6 wires and the sheild? if i wanted to only use say 3 wires, could i do that too? if so, let me know i will buy some from you. also what gauge are each? tia

manejer

Yeah you can! It's either 18 or 20 guage I dont remember. I'll check when I go home.

njzprettyboy

so, anyone in ny/nj tristate area want to help me and anyone in the area know where to buy the wire lol....I have all the other stuff just sitting here waiting to be installed

njzprettyboy

well thanks to another member, i was able to find the shielded cable. I completed the wiring harness a little while ago. Tomorrow I will solder all the joints, and hopefully this thing should be up and running by the end of the week!! I will update with progress, but thanks to Niko, this project has been a whole lot easier...thanks man!

manejer

It's about time that you finally got what you needed! I just seen your other post asking about wires this morning I was about to ask for your address to send you some.

njzprettyboy

LOL, yeah it is about time. I have had all these parts sitting here for about 6-7 months collecting dust. All the joints are soldered, just going to do a continuity test before I pull my car apart.

andramir82

Have fun and hope all goes good!

njzprettyboy

well fellas, the harness is pretty much done. I tests all points for continuity--passed with no problems. I taped up the harness and put some wire loom on it...It looks pretty clean/OEM. Of course there are still a whole bunch of wires that are hanging out because I need to tap into the stock locations..

manejer

When I did my conversion I didnt even put my nav box in the trunk I put it under the passengers seat. It was much more convenient and a whole lot less time. I think that it took me 2 1/2 hours to put it in after I had soldered and labelled all the wires

Hello everyone,

I bought a navi sys (screen & DVD) from a 2001 tl. It didnt come with the connectors. I have looked all over the map to find a set of connectors Unfortunately, no one has them for sale or knows where to get.

If anyone knows anyone that might be selling the DVD and Screen connectors, please let me know. It will be a great help.

Or, can someone help me to connect the DVD to Screen then to the car?


Any help is GREATLY apprecite

Thank you very much.

khoifl

Try to follow Ben, he did it without using the connectors.

Good luck!

Hello everyone,

I am very happy to say I just bought a complete navi sys: screen, dvd, bezal, gps and climate control from a wreck yard. Luckly, it came with all the tailpigs. So, all i have to do is follow http://home.comcast.net/~beinstein/NaviInstall.pdf

I need some help now! Can someone tell me how to test this unit? where is the power and etc.



thanks in advance

here are the phots

^^very nice. Yes just follow the directions. You cannt test it without wiring up the entire thing. I tested mine by uninstalling a friends NAVI in his car and plugging all my stuff in it..

2000tl32

From where can i buy the electrical manual i.e Autozone, kragan etc?

njzprettyboy

That im not sure about. I have done mine so far with all the materials online. I used Bens PDF with his wiring schematic. I am not planning on having to buy a ETM.

2000tl32

Where does this connector connects?

2000tl32

Is it possible to get something in the screen without the unit being hooked to the car? A simple test to see if the unit is working or not?

njzprettyboy

^^Not really. You will need data to transmit a picture onto the screen, which you wont get unless you have the NAV drive hooked up. That connector connects to the 3 pins in the existing climate control plug which are empty. Look at Bens PDF file

manejer

If you need to make connectors go to Radio Shack and get you the Female Serial connector kit for $4 and some of that heat shrink tubing. It worked for me like a champ. Crimp or Solder on the female ends then use the shrink tubing to cover the exposed end and to keep it from slipping onto another terminal. When you do this for the screen just leave a lil extra slack so you can tape the wires to the back of the screen or to something stable so nothing pops out.

Guys,

I need your help with connecting my navi to driver, passenger and speed sensor. Can someon help me locat these. I read Ben's PDF, it is not clear.

Thanks

Niko2000TL

driver and passenger???? speed sensor is on the ecu located on the floor of the middle of the center console. its pin A9 (blue/white) on the plug closest to the rear of the car, on the right side of the ecu

Niko2000TL

that goes to the climate control, theres 3 unused pins on the black plug that goes into the climate control module. i cant remember which goes where though..i'll look into it..you can gigure it out with trial and error when the system is up and running

2000tl32

I mean the driver and passenger Multiplex?

Thanks

Niko2000TL

you dont need to splice into the multiplex, if anything stay away from it if you dont know what youre doing, you dont want to fry anything. B+, ACC, ILL, DIMM, GND can all be spliced into all those wires going to your radio. if you have an aftermarked radio, it will be easier to identify which wire is which. all that's left is the CHARGE wire which can go to pin A-21 on your guage cluster (its the large, left-most plug on the cluster), and you also need back up lights, which you can do in the trunk, or in the gear selector, or on the passenger side fuse panel, theres a brown plug which it splices into (someone may have to confirm that), and the VSS wire which i mentioned to you earlier. thats it! lemme know if theres anything else i can help you with

niko

2000tl32

I am working on my covertion from none navi to navi and
I dont have the manual, can you please send me a copy of page 15-9 for Charge " Engine On Signal" (C3)

I really need your help with driver and passenger side fuse box and multiplex. Diagrams will be totally apprieciate.

I am also going to post on the main form.

Thank you so much

2000tl32

Guys I am puzzled with Speed Sensor, VSP

I can not find the ECU (is this Engine Control Unit, or Electronic Control Unit). Visual will be best.

Please help

thanks

njzprettyboy

You should read through the thread...It tells you specific locations where you can just tap into existing wires, so you dont have to run anything to the mulitplex/fuse box. I did it this way and it was much easier.

2000tl32

Where does Screen B6 (Security 1) goes?

2000tl32

I am almost done, I have three wires left
