help with sirius install

mikegeo · 09-05-2011, 01:48 PM

Like a fool i moved some of the fiber optic cables without labeling them.. now i am getting the dreaded SOS message.. Is there a way to tell which are the two ends that go to the car?
And if so.. what position on the plug do they belong?

thanks

Easiest way to find which cable is which:

I'm assuming by your statement 'ends that go to the car' that you are referring to the leads from the HU in the dash.

Get access to the fiber optic leads from HU behind dash, disconnect them one at a time, shine a flashlight in the end of each cable - you will see the light transmitted thru the fiber optic cable to the other end. So while shining a lite in end of each cable @ dash, look at cables in distribution block to see which ones are transmitting lite - that will be the mating end of the cable you are shining the light into @ dash
