Gday all I bought a wh grange a couple months back (was looking for a vito!!).
At first I was under the impression that they were based on a caprice as per a hsv history book I have but the vin number implies that statesman. In these books and hsv press release statements on the Internet they state that hsv deleted the rear roof mounted radio and ac controls, speakers, vanity mirrors and rear headphone jacks, ive decided to refit them. As expected the plugs were all there and after completely stripping out a black leathered wh caprice's interior, the hsv deleted feature's have been replaced.
Now heres my problem, I have a kenwood ddx7039 dvd head unit. Although a little older it has more features and more functionality than many current units. Plus its still a bloody good bit of kit!
Last night I finally pulled my finger out and swapped the roof linings, installed the additional loom pieces and roof mounted rear controls, speakers and mirrors.
As expected everything went smoothly and works but the audio controls.
Are the roof controls connected to the head unit in the same way the steering controls are? Same loom maybe spliced together somewhere?
As Autobarn gave me the wrong the iso loom with s/wheel control I have to swap those over and so cant answer my own question.
Also anyone else with a wh caprice, does the control unit light up when on? And when the rear climate controls are used does it adjust the drivers or the passengers side temperature read out?
Cheers guys
