NB 2001+ Audio Wiring Looms... where to buy ?

Postby Marador » Wed Oct 03, 2007 9:57 pm

Guys,

Im looking for an Australian distributer for a 2001 or newer NB audio wiring loom. I want to plug onto the existing wiring loom and go to an alpine head deck... so either straight to alpine (ideally) or to wires than i can then join onto the alpine loom.

Ive got a place in the us that sells them... but would prefer australia. And from what i can find out Aerpro or dont sell them...

Marador,

I have 3 suggestions.

1/ Do what I did and take a digital pic of your loom plug, and take it into Super Cheap. My loom matched an EB Falcon of all things. The sizes are not always manufacturer specific. So you might get a quick result that way.

2/ Try here

3/ Speak to SPy. He may tell you again his advice he gave at Dodgy Day (which I was too inebriated to recall).

Hope this helps.

Ebay America is by far the cheapest and easiest way to buy one. 8)

If it helps, the plug for an NB8B is also the same as that for a mazda 3, 6, RX8 etc

I ended up ordering one from mx5parts.co.uk. It looks like i can then take that loom to autobarn and connect it to the generic to alpine connector they sell... which means no joining no nothing for me.

The US Ebay seller i was looking at required a verified paypal account... i dont have one...

Ok... the head decks in and working beautifully.

I picked up the wireing loom from the office on friday night, plug it into the iso-alpine cable i bought and found that there where cables needing connected etc. I took the loom to autobarn on saturday morning and they wired it up for me however the arial would not work. On top of that when i accelerated the headdeck moved because it wasnt properly secured.

I cracked the s#$ts and took the car to Northfield at Nundah and they finished off the installation and fixed the wiring for next to nothing. Everything sits well and is secured, it was well worth the money.

Ill try and post a pick up next weekend or if i make it to the cruise you can just see it then.
