While redoing the stereo in my GS, we came across the stock tape deck with 2 wires plugged in. We found that this is what made the touch screen work. I was wondering if anyone has found a way to eliminate the use of that plug, to inturn, eliminate the stock tape deck.

We thought it may be a 68ohm resistor, but I just wanted to check to see if this has been done before, and what the solution is?

Thanks!

 

no one has done this?????

 

let's see if you get better response here

 

??????????????

 

Tonight Tony (turbosc) and I tested out our fix idea, The factory head unit had 2 wires TX+ and TX- that were required to run thrugh the head unit to keep the navi screens touch screen capabilities. By connecting these two wires by a 68ohm 1/2 watt resistor we were able to remove the factory radio and still maintain the touch screen functionality for the navigation!! METAL

 

This should go in the FAQ IMO!
