-G- Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Hardly the most technical question I'll ever ask, but what length of usb cables do folk use for their Head-unit USB connections (presuming you're using the rear ports on the head unit to keep your cockpit looking tidy I've opted to go for a flat-micro USB cable and a usb 3.0 extender to offer up future connectivity without having to revisit removal of the head-unit - i'm curious to know who else has fed cables back as far as the rear armrest and what length of cable you used (if you can remember) Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bizizl Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Not sure about exact length, but if it helps, it's pretty much a straight path from the back of the headunit, down to and past the gear stick and back toward the armrest. I would budget for the length of the back of the headunit to the back of the arm rest, plus a little length for pulling the phone/whatever up to reach. You can always feed it back down, there's plenty of extra room under the center console. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cs2000 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 The cables in the box with the headunit are long enough to run along the centre console and come up in the cubby you don't need any extrensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool - do you remember what actually comes cable-wise? There's an HDMI output and two USBs on the AVIC F70 DAB I have - are the HDMI and USB cables supplied?

You don't get a HDMI cable, but you do get 2 USB extensions, a male to female one so you can either stick a SB dick straight into it, or a iPhone cable. Personally, I have iPhone cable in USB1 and a USB stick in USB2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willem_dafoe Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I'm trying to make sense of the wiring in my 2003 Z. I don't suppose you've got any picture or info about where the connectors go for the steering wheel controls? Not sure if mine had a bose or not before.

eddymon42 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Isn't the HDMI an input for mirrorlink? I ran my USB cable through into my cubbyhole, but I never really use it. I've got appradio one and I have found it is absolutely pointless. Bluetooth all the way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
