ok soooo ive FINALLY managed to track down a CN+ unit from a fellow FF member, also i might have bought myself a MF Steering wheel off of a 2.4... unfortunately im going to have some connection issues... namely antennae for the GPS, GSM (phone), and microphone unit.

GPS i could probably deal with if i knew what kind of cable was used... hint, HINT!!

the phone isnt that important to me personally BUT i would like to install it for that OEM functionality should i ever come to sell her

now as i understand it fiats GPS/GSM antenna was built into the aerial base at the back of the roof aaannnddd it probably used a different aerial, for the different wavelengths.
ive seen the punto window mount GPS unit HERE so id need to source the correct cable and a generic GSM unit HERE which i can only assume would work. as for the microphone... does it use a standard jack connector? im guessing not because its fiat

which one of you all knowing fiat bods would be able to help?

I did that upgrade on mine recently. check out ebay for the arial GSM/Gps . Type something like alfa gsm gps arial.

As to the microphone thats easy too. Goto Maplins and for a 12v amplifield microphone . Costs about 10 quid. Cut the jack end of of it and put some female pin connecters on the 2 wires. Connect these to pins 9 and 18 on the back of your connect nav. Next get a 12v power feed to the same wire and earth and your phone should now work perfectly as well as voice command etc. Thats what I did anyways !!:slayer:

The CN+ aerial base has 3 flyleads, one each for radio, GPS and GSM. The aerial mast is different for CN+ cars.

The GPS and GSM connectors on the CN+ are type GT5.

The standard microphone fits in the front interior light. It has a small 2 pin connector that connects into the loom. The loom connector may, or may not be in your car already. Any similar specification microphone would work.
.

is there any particular minimum criteria the antennae have to meet to work properly with the CN+? im assuming that anything i can pick readily off the shelf today would probably be good enough as the tech has moved on in 10 years

the reason i ask is because RS components do a GPS antenna for £9 and a GSM antenna for >£3... ill probably go for an ebay special HRS GT5-1S for £2.20 each, so under £20 for the same kinda set up with a little bit of work and waiting!
