I decided to change the factory installed radio-CD, which cannot play mp3, for a newly bought Daewoo AGC-5280. Instalation was done by the authorized Dacia personel, but it was really a straitforward operation, disconnecting and reconnecting a standard ISO car audio connector and antena connector. The newly installed radio randomly mutes sound during playback from any source, showing message "tel mute" on it's screen.
I first replaced it at the store, then I had the replaced one checked in the authorized service, and thay said that it was OK and that I should check the car's wiring. The Dacia authorized dealer said that everything is OK with the car, and that the problem is with the radio-CD. I noticed that the wire exists in the car's side of ISO connector that corresponds to the "telephone mute" signal on the radio-CD's side of the connector, but I don't know how it is wired, and is it compatible. Does anyone have the electrical wiring schema for Dacia Logan, even a partial schema for car ISO radio connector? Does anyone know the electrical specification for this particular signal, on either side (radio-CD or car itself)? Did anyone else have similar problem, was it solved, and how? BTW, being that nowadays many better car radios can be found in the market than that installed by the factory, I think that this should be an option, on every equipment package of the Logan model! What is your oppinion? |

I had some spare time this weekend, so I did some fiddling with this problem.
I did some measurement of voltage levels on the pins in the car radio ISO connector, with and without the radio connected (I hope my car dealer is not reading this, as I'm not counted as an "authorized" person ). Strangely, on the pin corresponding to the "telephone mute" signal on the radio, the voltage level depends on the position of the key in the ignition lock! In the ON position I measured 0.3 V, and in the STAND-BY position it was 5.6 V (!!!). Then I took out the radio from the car, and connected it to the external power supply on the bench (hope the radio supplier is not reading this either, for the same reason as above ). When left open, the "telephone mute" pin on the radio itself has the voltage of nearly 12 V, and it works correctly. When connected to the "-" of the power supply, 0 V that is, it activates the telephone mute function of the radio! So, it is clearly an incompatibility of the signal levels in the car and on the radio! The solution was then quite simple, to leave open that pin, which I did by insulating that single pin with a leatle piece of insulating tape. What still puzzles me, is something wrong with the wiring in MY car only, the whole Logan model, or just the radio?! I noticed also that the radio has another signal, "dimmer", on which it would make sense to have different voltage levels depending on the ignition key position, but I didn't test it's behavior. Could it be that those signals were misplaced erroneously in my car?! Any experience regarding this matter, please??? |

If the stock radio cd in your car was working properly before replacing it with wthe new unit then I assume that the wiring is OK on your car and the installed unit has other wiring layout.

And, since this is the topic for PROBLEMS... here's one!
I'm the proud owner of a new Dacia Logan Laureate Pack 1.4 MPi since 8th december 2006, exactly a month today! Ever since I first activated rear window heating, I noticed that one of the striped heating conductors is not working, the very middle one! After a closer examination, I found the exact place where it is damaged. In the authorized service thay told me that they would replace the whole glass, all I have to do is fill the reclamation form, since there is no way to repair the damage. However, I'm not sure should I do that, because I heared from someone that when the glass is changed the seal might not be as good as from the factory. I'm also concerned if that operation might cause some other damage, for example on the paint. Apart from theese "little" things, generally I am very satisfied with the car, but this is the matter for the other topic, in which I'll be glad to participate also |

Not every model of the radio employs every signal defined by the standards, I still don't know if that's the case with the stock radio. That's why I asked for other people's experience and/or knowledge. Is there any Dacia official on this forum, especilally from the service, to answer questions? |

Actually you CAN repair the gap in the striped heating conductor, all you need is a chemical that is silver-based. I don't remember its name however but I'll ask somebody who does. And about your last question, there is nobody from Dacia around (I mean they're not posting, but I am sure they're reading). This post has been edited by Illusi0n: 8 Jan 2007, 16:14 |

I'm surprised that people from the service don't know about it. |

Thanks mate, I supposed correctly that such a material, or kit must exist.
Now just wish me luck when trying to find it here in my country! |

Nobody still with any info on Logan's wiring schema for audio ISO connector?
Although I fixed the immediate problem with my radio, this is still a professional curiosity. I'm especially puzzled by the voltage levels I measured on the "Telephone mute" pin. |

Thank you both Martin and Illusion, but from what I could see from the documentation you provided me, it only looks that the standard is not quite standardized
Kidding... It is still not clear how that signal is used by the car, why and under what conditions the voltage levels change on that pin. |

I went today to service, my complaint was that I have noticed some strange behaviour of the instuments (RPM meter and speed meter).
When driving on freeway with constant speed the RPM meter is set in to one position, but sometimes it goes down for less than a second and then it goes back again as it should be. I have noticed this 5-6 months ago, went to service to ask what might be the problem, and they told me that this is the first time to hear such problem and that I should keep monitoring and if this same problem hapened again I should return to service. Driving in town is not so easy to monitor and see because of the trafic and the constant real variable of the RPMs of the motor. But every time that I was driving on the freeway this was hapening, at least once that I have noticed because I dont look at the instrument table all the time. This last time, and it was this week, same hapened but with the speedmeter. It is set to 120 km/h and for less then a second (a period of time) it goes down to what ever it reaches aproximately 80 km/h and it goes back again as it should be at 120 km/h. The RPM meter from the begining was showing this strange sound from 1800 RPM above, the answer from the service was (and it was a long time ago) that this is normal for all RPM meters to show this sound, and at Logan the instrument is too close to the instrument table that is why this sound is louder from other cars. So they said then. Today they told me that the whole instrument table needs to be changed because of this noise and strange behavior. This is a problem I think. |

This problem raises an interesting question - are the instruments on the dashboard purely mechanical, purely electronic, or some kind of electromechanical combination? Does anyone know this for a fact, to provide an authoritative answer?
I personally expect that in a model like Logan, where the engine is completely electronically controlled, the instruments should be electronically controlled also. In that case, from the glitches you describe it would be obvious that the instrument table was faulty, and that it should have been replaced in the first place. As those instruments are just indicators, I wouldn’t say that this is a serious problem that could affect running of the engine or the whole car and cause some serious damage. Nevertheless, although it’s just an annoyance, with wrong indication of the speed you could get into trouble with the police, so this problem should be addressed with the same attention by the service as any other, and they shouldn’t be pulling your nose. |

The instrument needles are moved by some kind of miniature (stepper) motor as they are getting the information in the form of an electrical signal. There are some photos around showing the disassembled instrument panel. If I find them I'll provide a link.

As far as I know there is at least one user on the Romanian part of the forum that experienced this kind of onboard instrumentation fault. The problem should be covered by warranty.

I've driven about 44.000 km with my Logan and had following problems: glove compartment door that will not close tightly, so light sometimes turns on, fixed it with thin piece of rubber which I glued on the door next to the light switch; A/C is very noisy in VERY hot day, especially over 3000 rpm; rear ligt switch broke but service replaced that in warranty; wiper blade mechanism broke one day on highwat, so service replaced it all in warranty. Osram head lamps are poor quality, went off after 6 months and the clutch makes strange noise in standstill, just like in many Renaults Apart from this, I'm very satisfied with my new (old) car

Something for this topic from me...
The other day I checked under the hood after a long while for fluids levels, and to my surprise I found out that hydraulic fluid for steering servo is at minimum level (it was almost full). Still don't know how big a problem is that, will check at the service on Saturday. |
