VK-VZ Stereo wiring colours.

On the VY Blaupunkt HU, does anybody know the wiring that goes from the HU to the dash? Even better, what type of comms it uses to talk to it! Toying with the idea of making a circuit to interface between the steering controls, my laptop and the dash display. I currently use a laptop with a FM transmitter for most of my music but plan is to build a touch screen PC into the ute at some stage, would be neat to be able to skip songs etc on the computer using the steering wheel controls, and display some basic info on the display.

Just b4 i installed my Sony i went to AutoBarn and for 15 bucks bought an adaptor plug,from VT to Sony...Voila...20 minutes later new stereo was working without ANY damage to the car...

I did the same for my Kenwood unit. Except I had to buy two adaptor kits from Supercheap. One Kenwood to ISO plugs and one ISO to the VX factory head unit loom.

Wiring the unit up literally took 30 seconds.

it's all well and good to talk about wiring adapters but this was put there for people who don't want to use the adaptor or have had the original connector removed.

what is the 12v output and the illumination output used for? will not connecting these kill a power/illumination circuit in the car? just checking before i do something wrong. never encountered anything like that before?

 

[Tasmaniak]

the illumination wire is used to dim the CD Player when the headlights are on. Not many CD Players have this feature. So, simply tape the wire off. Failing to tape it off can cause it to short out and blow the fuse making your dashlights, parklights and tail lights stop working.

The 12V output is for any factory amps.

thanks man!

i just pmmed u so ignore that. so to get it clear, i use the illum or the illum output?

Just wondering what people can tell me about the wiring for the phone input on the VY with Blaupunkt HU. From what I can gather there's a plug on the passenger side that a kit can be plugged into? What are the wire colours for this plug? I wouldn't mind rewiring my CB so it goes in through the phone plug. Anyone know of any problems with doing this?
