Taking the NCDC 2013 CDC apart
« on: 22 September 2017, 15:36:37 »

Is there a guide for this? It looks like the back plate can come off, once you remove the plate that joins the two units.

The CDC on mine is buggered, I'd like to solder on the hack for an aux input.

Would you like another?


I bought one, with the paired screen, all working a while ago. Never got around to fitting it, and it's surplus to requirements.

Thanks for the offer  :y

I actually have a spare already, with screen paired. But I'm looking for the aux input, rather than working CDC  :)

Piece of piss.

Split the two units and follow the Russian guide on tinterweb.

Alternatively, sort me a Sky Q box with multiroom and I will do it for you ;)

So I can just connect an RCA to 3.5mm jack input, what is that box he is using?

Why does he tap into 'masse' audio? Can I not just take L & R audio?  :-\

The wiring diagram halfway down the page clearly explains it ::)

The third wire is the ground (left and right audio return)

And before you get all arsey, I have actually offered to help you with this on numerous occasions. But, if you don't want my help with it, I shall leave well alone. Never mind the fact that I have actually done this mod to a couple of my Omegas...

A slight swerve on this.My Elite has a 2006[?] and the info screen thingy looks the same as the one fitted to a pfl elite I was owned.So what if anything would be gained by fitting a 2013 or a 2015 unit in its place are they worth the money seemingly being asked for them?

I think so yes. My car already had one, but with mono screen, and I replaced it for one with a colour screen which I really like.
I don't think the problem is so much the price of them now, but actually finding one.

2013 HU has SatNav, 2015 as per 2013 but has (if fitted) a Telematics Unit (GSM Phone interface), both have dedicated  Screens, a Mono MID or Colour CID.

You can forget the box, just interrupt the Audio feed from the CD Changer to the HU Amp and feed your Audio (ideally preamp level) into the HU assuming you dont wont to listen to CD's any more, other wise your looking at switching between your CD and your Aux In Device.

Use good quality screened cable and keep it short, the Guy who did the Soldering in them pics needs shooting, theres another guide somewhere in German much neater, he used reed switches to switch the audio source, ie, kept it all nice and local inside the HU so less chance orf picking up stray interference within the cable lengths.

The German one was from a guy called killer Hardware off the top of my head, I did post it up years ago on here but it got nuked, guessing things have calmed down a bit now these days, so will try and source it again when I get 5 mins spare.

Thanks Zirk, I may drop you a PM. I bought some boxes anyway, only £1.60.

Yes I don’t want to use CDC, only get aux input, to then use a Bluetooth adaptor.

So I can use just left and right input?

Stupid question, as I don’t want the CDC can I not unplug the loom from CDC, discard the cdc unit and solder the L/R input to the pins on the plug?
