PM Jay or Keethos, i'm not sure you will find them online seeing as they were the two that worked out the wiring in the first place!

 

They should of put it in the how to guides by now!

Yeah sorry Rob, I've got it all written up again but wanted to add on what Jay (I.e. not use a new 16pin connector) did for his and the others but he hasn't got back to me with anything yet.

 

But yeah, I got my harness of the American fella and Jay would reuse the existing connector by just jabbing the new wires into it....how exactly I'm not sure and how they stay in but he's not had any issues with them coming out again.

 

It's difficult to find the connector and pins as no one knows the actual names/part numbers for them.

hopefully by the sounds of it  my dealer friend has a company they use who are willing to sell me the pins :D  

so il find out tuesday if they are the correct ones or not and then if they are il buy quite a few.

 

the way i have been looking it basically means you crimp the 3 new pins on (1 for power pin 7, 1 for the camera signal pin 8 and finally 1 for the earth pin 16)  So crimp these on then basically remove the 16 pin connector, push them into the correct locations till they click and locate then replace the original 16 pin connector into the HU and voila.

 

the pins can be removed relatively easily as i removed the handbrake signal pin earlier today to check the pin type.

 

 

Il post my findings on tuesday
