Radio connections

Just had a look at the back of my stereo. There is 3 coloured connectors that appear to be blanking plates/connector blocks. Apart from one that has 2 (I think) leads going into it. Anyone now what they are? The colours of them are yellow, green and blue. Anyone now what these connectors are for? I have got some pictures but cant upload them.

Also, can I use this: http://www.bluespot.co.uk/stock/preamp.asp

Cheers

Re: Radio connections

I know about the ipod connector. I wanted to now of any of those connectors (using an adapter like in the link in earlier post) can be used to give a pre out to connect an amplifier. Want one of those under seat Blaupunkt subwoofer but dont really want to chop the wires into the stereo to provide a high level input to an amplifier.

Re: Radio connections

I don't think you can use these connectors for other than what they're intended for, but in saying that I've never tried!

This may help slightly (its not great I know, but somwhere on your radio there should be a diagram showing the pin-out. The blue plug is "E"- CD changer/iPOD kit)

Connector C/D/E:

Pin Function

C1 LH AUX signal.
C2 RH AUX signal.
C3 AUX signal
C4 N.C.
C5 N.C.
C6 N.C.

D7 Telephone audio in + (version without Media Player)
D8 Telephone audio in - (version without Media Player)
D9 Telephone mute (version without Media Player)
D10 Steering wheel controls 1
D11 Steering wheel controls 2
D12 Earth for external connections

E13 CDC data IN
E14 CDC data OUT
E15 Permanent power supply for CDC
E16 Positive signal for CDC power supply enablement
E17 CDC data GND
E18 CDC audio GND
E19 L input for CDC
E20 R input for CDC

Re: Radio connections

Thanks for that, I didn't think i could use them for a pre out. I've looked at the diagram. Not sure on some of the symbols. Got a photo of it if anyone wants it.

If it is then I'll be looking to fit an amp and sub in the boot when I get my GP
