Sony Ericsson HCB-30 Bluetooth install

[Slugger]

Got one of these to put in ^ but havent got the installation instructions.

Mostly its easy, couple of connectors into the unit and couple of connectors the other end for the stereo but its also got a red and a black wire. Anyone know what these are for? Power and earth? Would have thought it would take those from the stereo connectors?

Help please

Cheers

[specialK]

switchable or constant power?

 

[Tom]

should have 4 wires


red - main feed
black- earth
blue - mute
yellow- switched feed

 

[specialK]

he knew what blue was !! yellow is wired into the connector so the red and black were the only other spare wires - so switched or constant for main feed?

 

[Roamer]

Constant.

 

[specialK]

oh, re-read your post - yes, red must be constant if yellow is switched - so now he is off to blow up the Veeeeee !!!

stereo change, speakers change, B2 install, bluetooth kit install - oh mi god !!!

Im currently installing my nokia bluetooth car kit in my Mk 11 172.

Does anyone know where the mute wire connects to the standard head unit?

Is the thickest cable to the cigarette ligter an ignition activated power source (switched feed)?

And wheres the easiest place to access a good main feed?

I dont want to distroy the electronics in the head unit or anything by sticking stuff where it shouldnt go. Thanks guys.

Dave.

Cigareete lighter, at least on Mk1s is switched yes..

Just find Head Units mute wire and connect the two.



My car kit was easy, its just ISO connections which I thought was cool.. just plug it in.. and away ya go. Hardest thing I had to do (electrically) was change the fuse holders over.. so it would go off completely when I turned ignition off.. heh.

Thanks. Ive got it all working now except the mute function. How can i tell which is the mute cable, theres like 20 cables coming in and out and theyre all unlabeled. Ive got the standard head unit.

Manual?

Hard to tell - My Pioneer HU had labels round each wire
