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-S3C1Terminals are
IL-AG5-C1-5000They'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
