MY10 Nav Hack Cables

[garthos]

Anyone got a spare cable or one they're willing to part with?

I'll sell you mine for $601.95 - plus I'll throw in a tow bar and a iPod integration cable for free?

Lol. At this rate you'll be throwing in your whole car for free just to get rid of that towbar!

Anyone still doing these?

Thanks to a Legacy owner in Italy, I've identified the proper Japanese terminal to fit the green 6-pin plug (as well as the plug itself, for people who want to transplant this nav into a non-nav car).

They are made by JAE. If you look closely at the car's plug (you'll probably need a magnifying glass and bright light), you'll see the "JAE" logo embossed on the rear very tiny beside pin #1.

Plug is IL-AG5-6S-S3C1

Terminals are IL-AG5-C1-5000

They're available from RS Electronics, Digi-Key, Mouser, and Allied Electronics (and probably other places).

This parking brake hack is for the 2010-2012 -ish OEM Kenwood satnav head units, where the main HU and its screen are integrated into a single unit. The older Kenwood satnav with a separate screen also has a green 6-pin socket and plug, but that connector is strictly for signals from/to the display screen (nothing to do with parking brake).

I would be grateful if someone could post some good pictures of one of the newer-style satnav HUs--

• The entire front (bonus points if you have something "interesting" on the screen)
• The entire rear (with everything unplugged)
• The entire top and/or bottom (whichever sides have model numbers)
• The left and right sides

I'm particularly interested to find out what model number(s) were used in Australia.

Cheers
