Hi there, I have listed in a cruise control manual Landcruiser 95 on EFI a BLUE/WHITE wire in an OEM plug (vacant) above the brake pedal. 4000 PPM. I have not fitted cruise to one of these but this manual is usually fairly accurate.

Hope this helps.

G'day Al, if your amp has high level inputs I would ditch the converter & just run the speaker outputs from your headunit to the high level inputs on your amp. The amp should be fine for running a sub. ? If the amp has no inbuilt crossover you can buy an extenal crossover that is wired inline on the ...

G'day Luke, it sounds like there may be a short in the 6 x 9 speaker wiring. Have you run the speaker wiring from the amp to the 6 x 9's without any joins in it? Is there a chance the speaker terminals may be touching metal? Maybe when screwing some of the plastic trim back on it has pinched the ...

Apparently it will come with the right plug on it so that side of it is easy. The location is a bit tight, I was thinking of getting a couple of cheap 21mm spanners & bending them to suit if required.

Hi there, I have just had my check engine light come up on the dash on my 2001 XL7. The owners manual states that this indicates a problem with the emission system. I have disconnected/reconnected the battery twice but it still comes on about 10 seconds after starting & doesn't go out.

These are generally rolling code remotes so one off the shelf will work but it will need to be programmed to suit your car.

That is a Vision brand aftermarket remote pictured. They supply remote systems that are fitted in Australia with the brand of the car on the remote. Autobarn stores stock Vision products. I googled vision but only came up with Steves car alarms as a Vision stockist.

Good point Scott, I should have read that a bit closer. Could hook up buzzer red wire to positive wire that supplies illumination lights for dashboard etc just means buzzer would also work if parkers were left on. Only question would be if car is regularlily parked with parking lights on.
