Clarion E950 - original R/C - Wiring

[DKWW2000]

Thanks for that Ian , most helpful.............3 power feeds? Unusual

[KiwiDave]

Today 'cos the weather was agreeable, I finally got around to removing the Clarion. It has never worked anyway insofar as it turns on then helpfully displays CODE and will take no further part in any proceedings!
A work colleague has agreed to help with installing a Nakamichi replacement so before he realises exactly what he has got himself into, I'd best make a start.

First off, what the feck is this???


Wiring diagram says it's a choke coil. What does it do and do I need to retain it?

Second question ... The red main power wire takes feed from the clock! Can anyone recommend a better power source

[DKWW2000]

Dave,
The "Choke" (Inductor) was used to filter out/suppress high frequency interference which was caused mainly by Alternators producing AC current, modern systems have them built in.

As far as I remember, the Radio has 2 x pos feeds, one for the On/Off (normally Ignition Fed) & the other +permanent to keep clock/station settings etc.

Thnx Pete. I can see the two feeds on the wiring diagram. It's quite helpful that the radio wiring is still labelled (for the most part anyway) so that's a help.

Taking the power feed from literally anywhere else has got to be better than using scotchlocks Abject barabarism

In case it might be of help to anyone in the future, here is the service manual for the Clarion E950/E951 radio/cassette unit.

It was invaluable in fixing my "no FM radio" on my unit

Fantastic resource thank you. Really appreciate you posting. My radio has the same issue of no FM. Do you know what was required to fix the problem?
Cheers
