And now I'm having some trouble getting it to work, it won't turn on and I don't know why. And from the forum posts I've read replacing the Audi radio with Bose system isn't necessarily straightforward because of how it is setup.
I've taken alot of pictures to try and give a complete picture of the situation.
These are the connectors going to the original Radio. As far as I've understood; connector 1. is for canbus and maybe som other stuff(?) connector 2. Is the main power connector 3. Is for communication with cd changer, dashboard screen and sending sound signal to the bose amplifier(?)
This is just earth, connected to the chassis of the original unit, probably not necessary to connect.
These are aerials, I'm guessing A. is for the FM antenna, and either B or C is the GPS antenna. And the last one i have no idea. Corrections?
This is the wiring diagram for the original connectors.
This is the connector for the holster/adapter to the new unit. N2 and N3 corresponds with 2 and 3 connector. I have nothing that fits in N0 and thus no place to connect 1 connector
Any idea why it's not turning on and what I have to do?
Is there additional steps i have to take to make everything work, all speakers and such in the bose system?
So I made some progress, or rather discovered more symptoms.
I was meassuring voltages to confirm that the radio was indeed receiving power.
I discovered that what I thought was earth(4) was actually 11v+, so I reckon it's some kind of power to the antennas, not that important as of yet though.
While I was meassuring I was disconnecting stuff and seeing if it gave any ***** readings. With the ignition on and connecting the can bus decoder the player turned on! Unfortunately it turns of again after 30 seconds.
