Retro Fit Auto Wipers and Lights

[Bad Dobby]

Hi, Everyone
This may be a daft question but has any one retro fitted auto lights and wipers to a non muliplexed cc. I have a 03/ 2001 2.0 se. Any help advice would be appreciated.
Many Thanks. Andy

Don't think it's going to be that easy to do mate
Mines 2004 so has them allready do u have the auto lights stalk ??

Hi. I can get hold of second hand stalks and window sensor from a breakers, but I am not sure if the visibility pack was available as an option when my car was made. I understand that the multiplex system was adopted in Oct 2002, so mine isn't multiplex.

Hi mines an 02 plate, and started life as an "s" its now got all the stuff an "Allure" has on it...
now it has auto lights, wipers and DEATC and leather and a 2.0l instead of a 1.6, so definitely do-able!

Hi Jack.
Thanks for the response, did your car already have the bsi/ multiplex system in place? The problem I have is that my car is a March 2001 so does not have multiplex. I am trying to work out if its possible to retro fit auto wipers and lights to a non multiplexed system.

I think it needs to be multiplexed.

I had my windscreen replaced recently and they asked me if I had auto wipers or not. So it sounds like you will need a replacement windcreen as well.

Multiplex cars have a com 2000. Non multiplex have a BSI.

I didnt do the work myself im afraid.... The bloke that did it said he had to rewire the whole car so yeah im guessing you will need this multiplex system....
Sorry i cant be of more help.

Found the parts. So now need to work out the wiring. I have also bought a JBL sub box but if this requires me to totally re-wire the audio circuit then it will probably find its way back on to fleebay

[cheekee]

Where did you find ther JBL sub box.

I desperately want one.

If you could let me know I would be grateful thanks.

[aaronwillis]

Think it's more hassle than it's worth to fit the jbl box
And if u change ur head unit you can't use it after
I was offered the full package from a breakers but too much hassle to fire in

[Bad Dobby]

Found the speaker box on ebay. I will have a look at the wiring when the snow has gone. I havn't got the luxury of a garage.

[aaronwillis]

Needs a new loom put in mate as the wires have to go from headunit to the boot
As the box has the amp in it

[cheekee]

Do you mean the power/ground cables plus the audio leads ?

I had an active sub in my 306 cc and wired it that way from the head unit.

[aaronwillis]

No the 206jbl one needs a complete loom
Don't think you can do it the normal way
