    James' N16 SXE DCi

    I just used a line level converter like one of these, and took the audio from these four: Thats FR and FL, leaving the rear speakers amped by the headunit Here's what the colours of the left hand wires do, according to t'internet:

    James' N16 SXE DCi

    I feel a little bit better now as it probably wasn't just a dodgy box I got. The only one that seems to work reliably is the DPT one!

    ph1 vs ph2 centre consol dash

    Best of luck, I remember staring at FSM pages when I was amping the front speakers, missions!

    Sat Nav

    Yeah I have the 2013 discs available here if you want one. £25 posted. They are copies but work just fine! Let me know if you're interested.

    What is the oval shaped openin on the left side of the stereo?

    It was so insanely useful, even for small shopping trips, it could handle about a few Tesco bags too. Amazed some people haven't been curious enough to investigate it fully!

    Diesel emissions

    It's a hell of a lot less smoky than my old 406, both when it was on veg oil and regular pump diesel!

    Changing HU in 05 Tino (the one with the LCD on top)

    Can I upgrade my screen to sat nav/CD player to play MP3s?

    You could probably daisychain the 12v feed for the MP3 car changer into that unit! I was lucky as there was a 12v ignition feed leftover from an old Nokia in-car kit in my car, I wouldn't know where to source one I'm afraid. You don't really want it coming straight from the battery cos it'd...

    Can I upgrade my screen to sat nav/CD player to play MP3s?

    Take anything Halfords says with a pinch of salt. The "joy" about having the climate control integrated in the main screen with the audio is that if you take the old stereo out (the CD player bit) the climate control will no longer work! The way round that is to install it separately somewhere...

    Can I upgrade my screen to sat nav/CD player to play MP3s?

    The car has zero bluetooth connectivity unfortunately, you'd need to get a separate Bluetooth headset unit. It doesn't have an aux in either I'm afraid, however the kit I posted up previously has a 3.5mm headphone jack that works when there isn't a USB stick / SD card plugged in. James.

    Can I upgrade my screen to sat nav/CD player to play MP3s?

    I bought it for £50 last year, from here in fact: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260995942379 There's no modification needed to the stereo, it just plugs in the back, you just need to supply a 12v power feed to the MP3 adaptor. I'd sell it for £40 + P&P. Let me know if...

    Can I upgrade my screen to sat nav/CD player to play MP3s?

    Not sure about the first point, but you can get an adaptor that plugs into the CD changer port of the headunit which lets you play MP3s from SD cards and USB sticks. I'm selling mine as it happens, and here's a demo of it in action that I video'd (it works with both the LCD and VFD screens):

    Hi in new and after an Almera dci :)

    I'm considering it. Mine needs a fair bit of work to get it back to what I'd call a decent standard, but from what you've said most of the problems I had with it will be fixed with modifications! ;) I'm looking for £500 for the car, it's done 102k and does need some TLC but if you're...

    James' N16 SXE DCi

    After having no luck finding a replacement wheel for my buckled OZ's, I managed to find a set of P11-144 Sport+ wheels in a local scrapyard for a decent price, so I have decided to just stick with them for the time being. They don't look too bad, better than the standard N16 wheels I think...

    Almera Tino 05 Centre Console Not Working

    The fuses should be the ones below your right knee if you're sitting in the driver's seat. Check all of them to make sure none are blown :)

    Almera Tino 05 Centre Console Not Working

    First thing I learned in IT was always check the basics, which is why we always say to turn it on and off again first! :D

    How's about these fuses?

    Almera Tino 05 Centre Console Not Working

    I thought if it needed coding from Nissan it would say "SECURE" on the display, so if that's not even working there may be something more sinister afoot. Are there any fuses relating to the display unit in the fusebox?
