So I’ve purchased a Sony XAV-AX1000 and a kit from incartec which can be seen here: https://incartec.co.uk/product/fk-271fa-swc

Upon installing I’ve found that no sound is coming from my speakers and the steering wheel controls aren’t working. I’ve contacted the tech support from I cartec and they’ve advised me to update the firmware which I will attempt to do.

If anyone has any ideas it would be appreciated or anyone/a company who is local to Suffolk/Essex who would be able to help. Cheers
 
Mate there is issues with the Bose units and aftermarket headings it's the quad locks and cables some people swooped the cables around and it worked. Some none Bose systems have similar issues. I got a pumkin head unit early 4 yrs now it was plug and play but I did have to swop some wires around

All fixed now, there was a tiny unlabelled blue wire that needed connecting to a terminal

I seem to be getting the dreaded alternator whine, when the volume is on 0 it’s not present but as soon as it’s turned up even on 1 it instantly starts making the whining noise which increases with engine rpm. If anyone could help it would be appreciated.

You need a noise suppressor in line

Thanks, that sounds simple enough, do you have any specific ones which you rate? Will I have to butcher some wiring or is it plug and play?

Also Amazon sell quite a few. I know when I fitted my head unit I got interference on reverse camera so I fitted a 50ohm one and perfect

Amazon product

Something such as this? I imagine I'd need 2 as there's 4 connectors for the bose speakers, front and rear
