One thing I do when splicing wires is to stager the length of each join so none are at same position. When you do a few wires you will find with all the joins in the same position you tend to get a bulge but another bonus of staggering the joins is that if you have a short in one of the joins it will be at the insulation of the other wires so you have double the protection

I took a different approach and simply used an old JVC head unit with USB and BT etc and fed the pre-amp outputs directly into the Aux input. I already had a Garmin GPS with BT that works with my phone for handsfree etc so my main need was USB music. The JVC has an Aux input as well so those with 3.5mm jacks are catered for as well. I used the generally available Aerpro Falcon BA/BF lower dash mounting kit - Repco $43 on sale The combo works brilliantly and you can use the JVC volume control to match the FM channel volume etc. Steering controls works as usual . The JVC just appears as Aux and runs whenever the car is running.

If you're like me and like bluetooth but are lazier, McDodo have a USB-A to DC 3.5mm Bluetooth to Aux adapter. It's basically a USB stick on one end, with an Aux cable coming out of it. The USB part is a bluetooth receiver, and is powered via the USB port, and the bluetooth signal is then sent through the Aux. Because of the location of the final Aux port in the Falcon/Territory, it's right by the cigarette lighter, so having a lighter USB charger is perfect; just plug the McDodo in and you've powered bluetooth!

The Ford unit amplifier has only with 3.5mm input was $150 in 2007 google "BAF289455BA" now $75 I put a ford unit in my BA Futura sedan worked great no engine noise at all, then moved it to a BAMKII Fairmont Ghia really bad engine noise. I believe from searching forums that the problem is bad earthing/ grounding thru the car. Some people reported that re-seating plugs under the dash and ICC helped solve the problem. I sold the Fairmont and put the unit back input the Futura all ok. Even cheaper solution is $24 from jaycar (AR3140 google "jaycar blue tooth car" this one gives you phone connectivity and USB ports +more, it uses the FM radio to receive the audio!

If you’re gunning for true hands free calls, the Bluetooth kit from an SY2 Territory hooks right up and can also handle streaming as well. B Series Falcons sadly never had audiophiles in mind with even their “Premium Sound” radios- the amplifier was woeful and the cost-over-quality paper speakers were miserable. You really had to do a DSP or tack on an aftermarket source into the tissue box for acceptable sound.

It's the same for me both ways. I can't recall off the top of my head, but do double check if the LOUD and Bass/Treble settings carry across from FM to AUX, or whether the head unit remembers unique settings for each. I could be talking shit here, but there's something in the back of my head telling me that. Worth checking anyway.

@@MotoringBoxTV ah yes! Great recommendation thanks, I’ll check that tomorrow. It’s a good sign that your bass is good thru both so I reckon you’re onto it. One last question I’m not sure if you’d know… but do you have any idea if I’d be able to use a ‘Matt’s audio’ Bluetooth adapter with the ASL kit? Apologies for the questions. 😅

I think his kit is standalone, so it would take the place of the ASL kit. Just from what I've seen and read though.

Pro Tip: i totally avoided the issue of AUX/ Bluetooth connections by shoehorning in a GT500 engine & box in my 7 month old BF XR8 and listening to neighing horses instead. Also: if you add an extra earth strap to the engine (also replace the crappy braided engine earth strap), and another to the gearbox, that engine electrical noise is basically cancelled out. Use quality welding cable, and some brand name ends for mounting.

I don't know anything about B series falcons but I'm amused at the fact they had an aux port that was never used, I gather that there must have been a premium sound stereo that uses the aux port. Doesn't seem like a normal thing Ford would do to just give you unused wires that are otherwise connected, I'm used to having to add all the wiring from a higher spec model to a base model to get anything working in the dash hence why I love my fairlanes.

I have the premium audio in my B series turbo and you’d think they would hook up the aux but still a no

I think there was a factory bluetooth kit which used it. But it was purely for phone calls (no audio streaming).

Awesome video. Do you know how to stop interference over radio when the radio announces are talking/ news playing, an you have a dash camera powered from your power socket just under traction control button on a BF 2 Fairmont Ghia?

Nice one 👍 do you find with those auxiliary inputs plugged in behind the fuse Box that they drain the battery slowly? Of is there no power supplied to the amplifier when the ignition is off?
@MotoringBoxTV Жыл бұрын
I don't believe so, they're only powered when the car is in accessories / running.
