Retrofitting TM and CK-7W

[Lazydocker]

Thing is... If you are going to route a TM loom then you have to have the HU cage out, if you are doing that it seems sensible to me to run the CK wiring out to the left straight of the ISO (except mute as after TM). At least you won't be hacking the original Telematics wiring.

So in theory I agree with LD!!!

That was my thinking too... Surely all the connections I need are present in the 36 way TM loom... Must be easier to pick them off before threading it in  :-/

Yep, except mute has to come from the car loom side of the TM as the TM mute is over-ridden by CK mute when using the CK.

I think I'll revisit this on Sunday (busy tomorrow!) when I'm not so tired and incohol fuzzled

If I understand correctly, the mute has to come from the car end of the loom, not the HU end?

[VXL V6]

That's correct.

Getting there slowly

All I need now are the pin numbers and/or wire colours I need to use

[VXL V6]

ISO Pins

2 - 12V switched (* double check that one!)
4 - 0V Ground
8 - 12V Permanent

35 - Audio +
36 - Audio shield

See, as much as I hate butchering built in looms, I would in this case pick off what I could from the telematics loom.

The way I see it, if I'm feeding wires across from the TM loom anyway (and the TM loom as well) I may as well do it all together

Your choice, but its already tight behind/around stereo, without trying to force more in

Right... Going to build the loom up in the next few days so any chance of wire colours to check please?

Also, can you please confirm that I can just put the audio feed directly into the HU (being Bose equipped) or does it need anything in between? Oh... And explain what pins 35 and 36 actually mean as I'm being thick

Finally... What colour/pin is the mute wire?

Thanks

IIRC pins are numbered on the ISO

Also, as I don't have enough bits of old loom kicking about any more, what grade wire do I need to build this loom up? Is it readily available at Craplins?

Albs?

Yeah, but I want to have it built before I go see him so I can feed it all through whilst we've got my stereo out to test his He can help me feed it all through as payment for using my car as a test bed

Hopefully it wont come to that. Jammy was right, you do worry too much.
I could possibly post some wires to you if need be.
Mute wire is black btw
