Thread: Nanocom between Port Macquarie to GoldCoast

Dealer is talking out their arse!

Hi Matt,

I can try if / when you get up here, but that may not be much help! I am about 50k south of Bne.

Also I would need it to work with just the nanocom, not the laptop interface, as my old laptop has broken and my work one doesn't have a serial port.

Will PM you my mobile number

Thats what I recon, and charged me $70 for the pleasure.

I was spewing I didn't have your number at the time.

Thanks for the offer Pete. I am going to stop and see MJK discovery in Belengin. Murray has an Auto logic, I think that will work but if it doesn't I'll give you a buzz.

is there a way to "hotwire" the seats? I need to tilt the back on passenger seat and I need to be able to move the drivers forward.

Cheers

I am trying to work out how to activate the seat motors to "manually" move them with 12v from the lighter socket. can anyone tell me what colour wire does what?

Cheers

Firstly, I am not a vehicle electrician!! The following may be totally wrong!!!

Normally in my line of work, the negative is eithe blue or black. If there's one positive, it could be any colour but the international standard is red.
I'm completely guessing here, but I'd expect one neutral & several lives of different colours for the different motors & directions. For e.g. a blue or black neutral. Then let's say a White for seat reverse, yellow for seat forward, purple for seat up, pink for seat down, grey for back down, and orange for back up. But I'd have thought that these would be wired between the switches & motors, with just a single live & neutral between the battery & the seat (and earth to wherever).
If I'm right, and if you can see which colour wire connects to which switch, you can probably touch a 12V live to the wire or switch connection concerned to activate the desired movement.

Remember that's all theoretical - I've never had a need to figure out seat wiring. However it may help & I hope it does.

Hi All

I have located the earth being Black. handy. I have used a second battery and put the earth on the back of the plug then tried the other wires. turns out it gave me a spark I though fare enough but then my wire started to Glow

any other tip on how to bypass the system to get the seats to move?

Cheers

Matt

Sounds like it's possible you're putting too much current through the cable. Good job you've desisted! Definitely wait to get better advice from someone who knows what they're talking about!

I am thinking that I will try a 15 amp fuse in line tomorrow with a feed directly to the motor under the seat. I will also disconnect the big grey plug under there first.

any other Ideas?
