Default Fitting a Navall to a Hi Line - where's my aerial/steering wheel controls?

Hi all,

I sent a message to Sean about this around a week ago, but thought it might be quicker/easier if I asked on the forum too, as I'm sure someone can point me in the right direction - and if nothing else, it'll be useful to have this info available for others in future!

Quick history - I bought a Navall Premium as the Navall Eclipse had been withdrawn when I went to place my order. Unit turned up the other week, and had a go at fitting it on Sunday morning. Turns on and all works nicely - I'm just trying to figure out how to connect the last few things!

a) My 75 has the hi line sat nav, which apparently means all the important radio bits are in the boot. As such, I ordered the aerial extension lead, which I believe I need to run through from the boot to the front of the car - but I'm afraid I have absolutely no idea where I need to connect it to in the boot. I've taken the whole of the bottom of the boot to bits, and have found the two metal units (I believe one's for video, and the other is radio related?), but I can't see anything I can fit the aerial lead to... I know I have an aerial booster in the c-pillar - is it possible to plug it in there? Unfortunately, the fitting guide doesn't actually seem to mention this step at all, either, so I'm at a bit of a loss.

Here's the only thing I've found that looks even vaguely aerial shaped in the boot (coming from one of the two boot boxes), but it doesn't look like either the wire (or the adapter) fit:



Here's a photo of the leads I've got:


I know 1 is the digital radio aerial, and 2 connects the DAB box to the navall. 5 is the GPS, and 6 I believe is for the reversing camera, but do I need to connect 7 (an aerial adapter) to 8 (the aerial extension), and then plug that in somewhere in the boot? Also, does anyone know what are 9 and 10 are the aerials for?

b) I'm also having a bit of trouble finding my steering wheel control plugs. They don't seem to be working at the moment, and the guide mentions I should be looking for a blue/green/yellow plug, but I can't see anything like that down behind the ash tray etc, which I assume is where I'm supposed to be looking? Could anyone point me in the right direction for where/what I need to find to make these work?

c) I'm also a little bit puzzled about the reversing camera, which seems to want me to remove the numberplate bulb in order to fit it. Is this right, or am I reading the instructions wrong? As this would make the car an MOT fail, I'm guessing I must be possible to fit them both at the same time, but thought I should ask before I try screwing it together only to break something

Thanks in advance for any pointers!

Ian

Hi Ian

Been on a bit of a work slowdown
Summer vacation as some call it !

You seem to be missing this , Its supposed to be in the box. If not, let me know we cans end one.


regarding the SWC Please check these tio see if they help as well as a general guide to how things should plug together

Regarding the Bulb , Please contact Coolcat, He has a slimmer Bulb for the Plate lights where the camera is situated.








Please email at [email protected]
Much easier to track and respond there please with history
regards
Sean
