[Steering Wheel 'Info' button with aftermarket Head Unit]

Ok think I have found what I need:

Can anyone confirm this actually works on the K12 Micra -& enables all functions before I buy one.

[Steering Wheel 'Info' button with aftermarket Head Unit]

I have just fitted an aftermarket DAB head unit in my K12 - this has obviously disabled the steering wheel controls, including the 'i' button that scrolls through the trip computer (the button on the instrument cluster still works as normal). whilst I am not bothered about the rest of the wheel controls, I do like this button - is there any way to modify the unplugged connector to enable the use of this button?, if so which connector is it & what do you have to do?.

Thanks in advance

[Immobiliser & alarm issues - BCM?]

I have an issue with my 2008 K12 CC Acenta - the NATS system would not recognise the Key & the red immobiliser light was flashing, I hooked up NDSII and cleared fault codes P1610 & P1611 this worked & I was on my way again.

It then started happening more frequently & clearing the fault codes did not work, I then disconnected the battery overnight & again this cured it. It has now happened again & whilst disconnecting the battery cures the NATS issue & the car does start - the alarm & Hazards are stuck on permanently, every time I connect the battery. The remote control C/L works normally, but does not disarm the alarm.

This started happening when the cold & damp of winter set in - too much of a coincidence?, I'm thinking I may have some water/moisture ingress in some connectors or module, possibly the BCM?.

Where is the BCM located on the K12? - I will dismantle & check it out.

Does anyone have any idea what else it could be? - are there any common areas of water ingress problems?

I do have the full version of NDSII - I assume though it can't connect to the BCM on the K12?

Thanks in advance

Hello to all at NOC,

I have recently purchased a 2008 K12 1.6 Micra CC Acenta 84'000 miles to use in conjunction with two other vehicles I own, mainly to do a 4 mile commute to work, I also

own a Nissan Elgrand 3.5 4wd camper conversion - which is obviously not really suitable for a daily 4 mile commute! 

I paid £650 for the CC Acenta via eBay auction - it needed two front tyres & a couple of small jobs, apart from that it's spot on. over the moon with it for that price!. I wasn't actually looking for a CC - but I spotted it local & thought it would be fun in the summer & ended up winning it. the roof works perfectly. So first port of call was to join the owners Forum 

However it has now developed an issue, which I will post in the relevant section.

A bit about myself, I am a 25 year time served Technician at Horiba MIRA in Nuneaton, I do all of my own work on my vehicles & have access to both two & four post vehicle lifts at my workplace, along with all the tools & equipment I'm ever likely to need. Car maintenance is more of a hobby to me & I love doing all my own work (only thing I can't do is weld)

The Micra does need a few jobs doing (as I expected) so I look forward to messing around with it this year!

Regards

Jamie
