Civinfo - View Single Post - AUX in IPOD integration

Resurection time.

This is just thinking out loud, but input is appreciated if I'm missing something all together or just being really daft.

I'm just sitting wiring up the Parrot Handsfree for installation tomorrow and thinking about this H&K Drive & Play Aux in/out problem.

So far the only solution would appear to be a Connect 2 box. Why? Can't we just splice into the existing loom to mimic an AUX CD changer? What does the Connect 2 do that a direct splice can't?

As I also sit here converting my 27Gb of AAC files to MP3's, I'm trying to work out what is so difficult about the wiring in situation.

I know that we will never get the track info or steering wheel controls to work, but with an H&K system does it really matter.

The problem appears to be tricking the HU into thinking there is an Aux unit fitted. Now as my SE won't have any fancy-dan Sat Nav (other than my N70 with Tom Tom Mobile), it will be a standard Honda HU.

Can anyone supply me with pictures of the rear connections on a NON Sat Nav HU?

How Many connections are there into the back of the HU?

I have a SIO Comms connection here for a 17 pin socket which incorporates the Speakers, Power, Etc. for installing the Parrot.

Now all but five of those wires are asigned a name. 8 are speaker wires; a red +12 Power; a black Ground -; an orange Car Light; a yellow +12 Memory.

The remaining 5 are:
Pink
White
Grey
Yellow/Blue - This is a slightly heavier guage of wire than the others (matches the 12v wire). The other wires are thinner than the standard 12v/earth wires.
Grey/Blue

Now I assume that none of these are the aerial judging by previous posts, as I assume the mini co-ax attaches via a small two/three pin plug.

I also know that some of these wire must connect to the dash. I am really curious about what the pink connects to as there was a loose pink wire on the loom.

Answers on a postcard please!

Now looking at the Connects 2 Wiki, there is a third port (?) as this connector block looks totally different to mine, and mine is the correct Honda block (I hope) according to SIO Communications.

Now if I have no sat nav or cd changer this port should be empty, or does it also connect to the steering controls? If so and there are free pins then these must surely be the AUX connection pins.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?

Can I ask why no one has pusued a wiring diagram for the stereos as yet?
