Grande Punto Grundig HU aux in hack

I picked up my blue 100HP yesterday, what a great car. all i can say is, well, its bloody good fun!!

the lead came from italy this morning, very quick. i went to fit it but the radio keys i have don't fit. looks like its back to ebay.

Just removed radio from my 100hp using coat hangers and fitted the lead from ebay italy.It works a treat. there seems to be a little electrical interferance but if you turn up the MP3 player and keep the HU down it sounds great. The only thing is the yellow ISO i removed had a green wire into the centre hole which i think is the earth/ground. is this going to affect the car at all? I'll take the lead out come service/warranty visits to dealer?

I read this thread and decided to give the aux-in method a try. I found an eBay seller who stocked the required yellow aux-in connection:

It arrived the next day, plugged it in and it worked :- )

I also tried the 9-pin blue connector that plugs into the CD changed socket and that didn't work with my Grundig unit so make sure you order the 6-pin yellow one.

Hope this helps someone as it took me ages to find somewhere in the UK that stocked the yellow socket.

Hi all,

Many thanx for the tip on the aux in hack. I ordered the cable in Italy (from GM Productions on eBay), received it in about a week and installed it. Works a treat! Beats the more expensive options from the Fiat dealer imo. For just about €20 you're set.

Be advised, only the cable with the yellow connector works. The cable with the blue connector is of no use with the F199CD SB05 radio that's currently built into the Grande Punto's.

Most of these links most of you have posted dont work anymore.. can anyone please post on for me please as I am really intrested in doing this!

Does anybody know How to Dismount the Blaupunkt DAB47 from the GP dub ????

You mean get the headunit out? Get a wire coat hanger cut it into 2 u shapes then push them in the holes on the headunit untill they click and pull it out.

Search in google: "ebay gm production". First link (for me) goes to the shop site of GM Production on ebay. The guy's on holiday in August, so you'll have to try again in september. (Can't post an URL; system won't let me yet.)
