Nosman85 New Member 13 Member For: 3y 11m 4d Posted 27/05/20 03:09 PM Share Posted 27/05/20 03:09 PM @rosey. What have you done with the standard icc screen mounting wise. Does the hvac still work with the screen out or have you tucked it away somewhere? I am going to be tackling the 650e install this week or next so will need to wire the head unit and hopefully steering wheel controls too. Any chance you have a resource for the wiring colours from the stock harness to alpine at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a basic resistive circuit and works great. To quote myself “I also got the steering wheel controls working, it was a bit backwards but you have to complete the circuit on steering wheel controls getting power from the headunit on key 1 or key 2 and ground the other pin. So 1204 to key 1 and 729 to ground. “ The headunits then typically have an app where you program what resistance for what function. Its simply a matter of pressing a steering wheel button and associating that with play slips volume up down etc. pretty straight forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosey Member 46 Member For: 4y 6m 28d Posted 28/05/20 11:07 AM Author Share Posted 28/05/20 11:07 AM I’m in the process of locating the top ford icc display to the lower pocket and not disconnecting the main icc harness at all. I hope to get the display to the rear of the pocket area and mount the front section of the clip in pocket back in. Soooooooo a casual look at my fg will see just a normal area in front of the shifter with the cig socket and aux still there, but a display that is visible though the the ‘gaps’...........maybe 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosey Member 46 Member For: 4y 6m 28d Posted 31/05/20 08:45 AM Author Share Posted 31/05/20 08:45 AM Sorry but the unit I have installed is the discontinued Alpine ILX-007, which is the ‘father’ of the w650 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosman85 New Member 13 Member For: 3y 11m 4d Posted 01/06/20 04:36 PM Share Posted 01/06/20 04:36 PM looking at the dimensions the ilx007 is 178×100×75 Ilxw650e is 178x100x60 so should be identical fitments wise with more room at the rear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
