Hello,
Am in the process of upgrading the stereo in my Doblo Cargo Maxi type 263 with a modern aftermarket head-unit with carplay, DAB+ and that kind of niceties.
First hurdle: the aerial.
The factory built-in aerial shows corrosion on the thread with which the whip goes on the base and the thread is slightly damaged. Could have been caused in or by a car-wash street, I do not know.
Fit a fresh roof aerial, DAB+ certified, seems a good idea by me.
That means some 'work' on and with the cabin roof-trim, the overhead stowage/parcel shelf above the innerside of the windscreen, the plastic over the window pillar, it all has to come off, and back on again.
Sounds simple, but I have no clue how to do this and I dislike using force and the risc of breaking things.
Anyone in this forum been there yet? If yes, would you please share your experiences?
The stereo will most likely be a Pioneer SPH-DA230. The Pioneer installation manual says it needs an ignition switch with an ACC-position. A Doblo does not have that.
To me, this is somewhat confusing.
As far as I understand things, a modern head-unit, like the forementioned Pioneer, 'need' a constand, always present 12V and a ignition-synchronous aka 'switched' 12V. The radio-cable loom in my Doblo carries both via an ISO-connector set.
As I understand it, the constant 12V and switched 12V matter, is solved.
However, I wonder why Pioneer would prescribe such an ACC-position as mandatory? Or, what am I overlooking or ignorant?
With kind regards,
Camionette
