DSP - Digital Sound Processing unit removal

[Tailwind]

You just need to jumper pins 2 and 6 on the connector. Worked for me. Radio functions as before, and you can still use the tone controls on the HU.
Crappy reception and funky functionality known in the CDR220 have me about to replace it with the Pioneer SPH-10BT.


(sorry for the poor focus)

Wow great tip! Really???? So I take it that this is part of the harness that plugs into the DSP? Do your rear speakers work as well; all six?

(Not sure why I am bothered as the exhaust dominates the soundscape most of the time)

So for everyone else:

1. Disassemble lower centre console
2. Remove DSP module
3. Unplug harness from DSP module
4. Jump pins 2 to 6
5. Enjoy lower centre console space along with all six speakers and all audio controls

Yes?

I will try and pick up some suitable jumper pins and try it out. Much better than putting in a whole new amp. Let me know what jumpers you used that fit and don't drop out...

Thanks

That's it. All speakers work
Whenever I lifted my foot off the throttle to apply the brake, I would get caught on the footwell light, plus I have long legs, and wanted some extra legroom.
Looking at the schematic, I figured it out. In my case, I was installing the console delete, so I had taken the DSP and CD Holders out completely, and installed the footwell lights into the side covers.

Nice! I really like the console delete. I am average height but have long legs and it really gets in the way sometimes.

I will give this a quick try this weekend if I can get of some jumpers; don't have any wire on hand

I can confirm that the Tailwind solution does work. It's obviously the best combination of simple and effective.

I did some testing with DSP and without (jumper installed). DSP in and audio deck powered there is a background hiss with no volume. I think this is normal and has been present since I have owned the car. DSP removed and jumper in place the hiss gets louder. It certainly wouldn't be noticeable with the car running.

Is there some resistance needed to placed in the jumper to calm things down?
