Salim Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 Does that mean your iPod is in the boot? How do you change track then if its just an aux connection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee131 Posted April 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 to connect to the head unit i used an old pc cable and chopped it up to slot over each pin, and soldered the connections, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cos01 Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Excellent ordered one, will give it a go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee131 Posted April 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 you could just snip and solder/crimp onto the origninal wiring but i was the guinea pig so didnt want to do this if it wasnt going to work, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john.med Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Well done you! I thought I'd found a cheap work around when I got my connects2 for £30. If you made a plug and play cable with a connector on the H/U end, and a female 3.5 mm AUX in on the other, I reckon they'd sell like hot cakes.

RoryW Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) I'm going to try splicing into the loom and seeing if I can keep the multichanger in place and usable when aux in connected. Must be a way I'm sure. Edited April 17, 2012 by RoryW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cos01 Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Is this how u hooked it up Green wire is hooked to red, white and blue are bridged together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoryW Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) If your white and blue are earth then they're on the wrong pins I think. You want earths on pin no: 6 & 7. They are currently on pin no: 1&2. That's how I read the pin layout anyway? Sure someone will e long to confirm or deny soon.

RoryW Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) Pin layout to me is |-------------------- | | [6][7][8][9][10] | | [1][2][3][4][5] | |-------------------- | Pin 1 is left channel Pin 2 is right channel Pin 6&7 are ground.
