Video aux in for Sat Nav....

[drewy1]

Hi Doctor,

The model i have is the kenwood sat-nav/dvd/bluetooth in dash unit, this unit is only released in the my08 2.5i Ltd. All other and previous models in the liberty with sat nav has a dvd rom drive under the passenger seat with is retro fitted in australia before delivery.

I've got the MY08 Ltd Ed with sat nav and just had the dealer install the Audio Aux In for it. Unfortunately it's not working. I checked it out and the break out cable includes many other inputs and outputs including:
Video In/Out
Sub Out (which can be enabled/disabled and turned up/down via the nav)

I've posted some pics and what I've worked out the 24-pin connector on the back of the head unit to be here: http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=98042

Does anyone else have the Ltd Ed nav with Aux In? If so, any hints on what I have to do to get it working? There are a few unconnected wires on the aux break out cable, do any of these need to be grounded to enable the aux in?

Edit: I've worked it out, all documented here: http://forum.liberty.asn.au/viewtopic.php?t=3505

Hi atmurray,

i had my installer mate call up subaru (he called two different dealers) and apparently they told im that such a plug (the 24 pin connector that allows sub out) does not exsist?? can you give me the details of the plug u got installed?

he said if he cant get one from the dealer, he'll have to find it elsewhere from car shops which is gonna be a bitch!

thanks

When I spoke to Subaru they told me the exact same thing as I think for the non-llimited ed head units this is probably true. The part number I have is is called "H0010AG100 Cord Convert" and was installed when I had the Aux In installed. I'll attach a picture of the installation instructions it came with.

oh cheers mate...

so i would have to get the 'opitional accessory' aux in plug to be able to purchase this converter plug?? damn....

You could always add the needed pins to your existing connector. Hunt around and try and see if you can buy a connector with similar pins.

slight thread hack here, but i figured i started it...i can hack it....
After giving up in disgust....does anyone know where I can find the info that tells me what cable does what at the back of the HU in a NON GT Lib??? There are like 5 mulitpin connectors at the back of that thing

Plenty of stuff out there about the Macs...thats great but seriously unhelpful for a few of us....I've got the HU from a 06 2.0R. Therefore it has your usual CD, FM, AM choices along with CHR......I know this means changer...the changer isnt fitted....so I'm almost certain I can use this as an aux in....

I just need a way of finding out what cable does what....can I tell by checking voltage or resistance?????

Sorry...here endeth the rant.
