The head unit is the system and as said if it's a double din there are some nice units for around £80 that would be a good replacement and the buttons and instructions in English, imo a lot less hassle and an upgrade.Īlso sat nav and GPS are basically the same thing. I'm not saying your ignorant just trying to explain things correctly, didn't want to think you had been ripped off for something that was a cheap add on. Now if you or anyone can read Japanese that would help me greatly to set the time. ? The system I have installed Has a Sat Nav, (not bothered with) GPS, Radio and Cd (working). The lead I had installed gives me all stations from 77.4mhz to 107mhz,and happy with that, but ,what I am looking for is to have the correct time set. ![]() I did not know that you could change the head unit of the system without buying a new one, which depending on the type and make is about €240-€900. Your pardon for me being ignorant, your right it is a lead with a little metal box that was installed. On a personal note, I think this is one of those times a simple thing like setting you clock is a bit of a nightmare for an imported car !įirstly it's not a chip fitted in the radio to change the radio frequency but an aerial adaptor in the aerial lead cost of about €15.Īs for the clock it seems the others have given you a lot of help, my surgesttion would be to replace the head unit with a European one if its a double din fitment as you will never be able to use the sat nav here and depending on budget by replacing the unit you could get one that works here. The dealer who you know who I use Rob got a chip installed for the radio stations but they don't know about changing the clock. The radio is a Gathers Honda Multi Car-AV System VXM-090CV. Hi Guys, thanks for the great info but I forgot to say in my post that my radio has got Sat Nav but in Japanese. Use the link above then page 199, shows the buttons in 'english'. If you have Sat-Nav, it should set automatically ? Dealer I bought the car cant help but he did get a chip put in which gives me the English radio stations. The car is a Honda Fit 2011.Ĭan anyone help me by either telling me how to set the clocks time or else set it for me. Problem is that it has not got the correct time on the radio clock. Hello there, I have just purchased a second hand car which has been imported from Japan Circa 2011.

The radio is basically doing the same thing with the wire from the ignition.Īnyways. an amplifier has a huge wire for positive and a huge wire for negative, then a tiny wire for the remote to turn it on and off. That means less water and more time before you can swallow. if you wanted to suck up some water because you were thirsty, you wouldnt want the water to go into a second straw of smaller size before it gets to your mouth. the main power can come from the yellow wire, the red wire, or both. I consulted with my father about it and he agrees and cannot figure out why it is not working. ![]() I tested the wire at the end of the plastic bracket that clips into the back of the stereo as well and confirmed it to be hot there as well.įrom my reasoning, the stereo should not be resetting the memory. I have stuck a testing probe in the slot and played with the ignition. I have the power lead for the memory tied into the "clock" slot in the fuse box which provides a adequate constant power supply. Both power supply cables are wired into the fuse box. A ground, constant power supply (for memory), and a key on power supply. ![]() Aside from the speaker wires there are three wire required to run the stereo properly. The stereo will run fine when the key is on, but every time it starts up everything is reset. Ok, now the problem is the stereo loses its memory every time the ignition is off. Stereo I bought: http /It doesn't really matter concerning the question but I know people will ask. I know this isn't exactly "home audio" but it's pretty damn close and figured this was the best suited forum.
