Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Maintenance & Servicing DAB Radio swap, Help Please

Installation manual is a hideous mess!

But the info is there.

When testing in car depending where dab module gets it's power from try it with the key turned on.

don't need engine running.

You may have it off the switched supply or visa versa

Thanks Howard, I was thinking about it today and suddenly wondered if there was a setting on the JVC to send power to auxiliaries if connected. I will check this out, might explain the issue.

I hope you have some big speakers and ear protection as its not easy to hear much unless you turn the sound up , maybe its just my exhaust !

Well what a wind up, I checked the wiring again and took the meter to the lead from the Morgan to the power ISO block and found the constant feed with the ignition in position 1, not the one I expected, then I found the switched feed. So I connected these correctly, The I checked the aerial connections and that when the unit was on the I was getting a power feed to the aerial, the JVC unit still reported no DAB signal. Then suddenly while fiddling about I got Radio 2 on DAB . The unit if powered of goes to no DAB station selected and you have to positively select one.

Unfortunately the Bluetooth connection initially work and then decided not to pair, a job for tomorrow as getting cold in the garage.

Great result....

I take it you just swapped the red and yellow bullet'd power feeds over them Adrian?
