CDc fitting to car????

[Phil58]

Hi. Did you not manage to send instructions. Thanks phil

[Raistlin]

Sent last night by e-mail.

 

I'll send again but check your spam folder please Phil.

Basically Phil, if you don't have any other D2B devices in the boot, plug in the D2B connector and power cable to the CDC - job done, except to find out whether your car needs to be told it has a CDC.

 

Other than that, it'll just be a case of bolting the rack into place and putting the trim back, but if you're unsure, just ask me... or head over this part of the world and I'll do it for you.

 

BTW, I have three spare cartridges - I bought them before I installed the ACM.

[Phil58]

Cheers. Well that sounds more like it I'll see how car goes on tomorrow at garage

[Phil58]

Hi. The serial number you gave me is for s type, would the one out of x type fit ending in code ab. Cheers phil

[Raistlin]

If the rest of the part number is the same then yes - no problem Phil.

 

Have you got a link?

In the words of the old American Express advert:-   "That'll do nicely" :)

 

You can see a very clear picture of the connectors, showing the D2B connector and the small power connector to the left of the D2B. That will give you an idea of what to look for in your boot Phil.

 

Another one to watch:-

[Phil58]

Many many thanks for all your knowledge

[Phil58]

Beat you to it

I have the dvd satnav player in the boot, will I need anything else to connect a cd came in??

[Raistlin]

You'll need an appropriate D2B cable Andy, either buy the correct item with three ends or buy a two ended cable and modify your existing one.

[Phil58]

What would I need to do satnav? Obviously screen, DVDs drive, what else

[Raistlin]

Crikey Phil. One thing at a time mate

 

Only joking. You'll need the GPS aerial.

 

You intend to go completely touchscreen?

[Phil58]

Hopefully full touch screen. Would I need optic cable for cdc and DVD to link

[Raistlin]

Yes Phil, each module must be in the network topography for the system to work so you'd either need to get a cable with the correct number of connectors or modify one that you might already have.

 

Retro-fiiting touchscreen would be an ... interesting project

 

Eminently do-able though, I would think. I'd need to do a bit of research to be sure.

[Raistlin]

Phil, I just checked up on what I thought might be the biggest problem with retro-fitting sat nav and I got the best answer back

 

Do you have the digital climate controls or the manual knobs?

 

If digital, the touchscreen operating system controls everything perfectly and I'd suggest you go for bluetooth and Jaguar Voice as well

 

If analogue climate control, to be fair, I'd forget it... at least for the time being :(

[Phil58]

Hello tomtom

[Raistlin]

Hello tomtom

 

 

I take it that means you have analogue climate controls?

[Phil58]

Sure do

[Raistlin]

Not saying it can't be done... but wondering whether it would be worth the time, cost and effort Phil?

[Mr Lawrence]

I've never seen analog heater controls in a s type.

It's alway been these two

[Phil58]

Mines pic one Andy, I think that will be classed as analogue

[Raistlin]

No, That's a digital setup Phil. Do you have a CDC button on the radio?
