hey guys, connected a disc stacker to my head unit the other day and when i went to put it back in it wouldn't go all the way because of the chord from the stacker. I think its hitting up against the heater box or something....not sure what its called. Just wondering if you guys have had this problem in your VL and what you did to get around it. It used to fit in nice until i hooked up the stacker. Cheers

yep we all get that problem, just try getting a couple Right Angle RCA adaptors to put on the back of the headunit, this should fix ya prob Jaycar Electronics have these here (http://www1.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=PA3566&CATID=35&keywords=&SPECIAL=&form=CAT&ProdCodeOnly=&Keyword1=xxxxxxxxxx&Keyword2=xxxxxxxxxx&pageNumber=&priceMin=&priceMax=&SUBCATID=597) Cheers, Chris Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

its not the RCA cables that are the problem, its the chord that hooks the stacker up to the HU (not the RCA cables)

yeh it does have RCA cables hooked up but I've got the right angled ones and they don't hit that back wall bit. But the actual power chord that runs from the stacker to the head unit is whats stopping it from going all the way in. Is there a different chord I can buy from somewhere? Cheers

i think he means the wires that the headunit uses to control the stacker, of course i could be totally wrong ops: Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yep thats the one Jazza. Its one chord that sticks out too far

Weird that thats not angled .. i had an ancient sony 10 stacker for a while and even that had an angled stacker cable .. What actually is behind the stereo, is it airflow ducting? or the firewall? I woudlnt have thought itd be far enough back to be the firewall? I guess if it was you could measure it up and drill thru a bit .. maybe goop seal it up a bit to stop chaffing on the cable .. how far out does the stereo sit with the cable attached? Any chance making some kind of forward sitting mounting for it?

yeah ok sorry, dunno what you can do there, it is the heater box yeah

Get a heatgun out on the heater box and mould it inwards a bit so that there is enuff room for the new plug

one end of the stacker cable will be right angled, you probably have that one plugged into the stacker itself and not the headunit? what is the model anyway?

on my car i used a hairdryer to mould the heater box :?

the new sony buss cables tend to be srtaight on both ends pain in the arse they are the only ones had a right angled one on them i have herd oof 2 ways of fitting the head unit in 1 was using the heat gun as stated the other was to make a bracket that makes the head unit stick out a bit if you look in most commo mags theres usualy one vl that has done this he walky in street commodores june 2003 is an example
