skahigh Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Hello, as mentioned in a previous thread I have just bought a Pioneer app radio and have also bought the ICT loom etc. that I need to replace the existing Bose head unit on my 57 plate zed. Now all the bits have been delivered I am having a play with the cable to see how it all fits together and all seems to be going well bar one or two connections I'm not sure on. In the image above the blue and white cable labelled with A and B is part of head unit cabling and is labelled 'System Remote Control'. C is part of the ICT cabling and is labelled 'Amplifier Remote turn on'. D is attached to the aerial adapter that was supplied by ICT and is a bare end wire. Regarding connecting B, the Pioneer manual states: "The pin position of the ISO connector will differ depending on the vehicle type. Connect *6 (the left side of the connector B in the photo above) to *7 (the right side of the connector B in the photo above) when Pin 5 is an aerial control type. In other types of vehicles, never connect *6 and *7." I've sort of been following the super guide in the stickies but Kenwood seems slightly more complicated than the Pioneer unit I have. 1. As per the quote from the manual above, is pin 5 (the solid blue wire in the ICT cabling) an aerial control type? Should I leave this connected as it is currently? 2. In the super guide in the stickies it is suggested that the amplifier remote turn on (C above) should be attached to a blue and white wire from the head unit, in my case should I be connecting this to A above? 3. Should D attach to A? If not, what should be done with D? Any help gratefully appreciated. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meeerrrk Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Hi Jon, I fitted a pioneer to our Zed recently. The connections A, B, C need to be connected together, this will power your aerial amp and switch on command for the Bose amplifier. I can't really see where D is coming from from in your picture but I guess it is probably for your steering controls interface?

I guess I could either cut the connector off C and solder them together or attach an equivalent connector to A. The aerial adapter is plugged into the head unit on the far right, there is a black cable that comes out to the grey connector on the far right of the picture, D is then a bare ended blue wire which comes out of the grey connector. Any ideas what this is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skahigh Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 Reading the description of the aerial adapter on the ICT website it says "Also used as half of the cable needed when fitting an FM modulator." Is the blue wire used to connect to an FM modulator and of no use to me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meeerrrk Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I don't recognise the grey connector, I guess that's the aerial adaptor but ours is an earlier car so must be different. Have you got a link to the website your looking at? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skahigh Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 These are the four products I bought from ICT. Aerial adapter with the unexpected blue lead is 21-118. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skahigh Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 Well as ridiculous as it is, it looks like I wasted £8 on that aerial adapter as it doesn't seem to be needed at all. Installed today and seems to be working nicely! Thanks for your help Meeerrrk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meeerrrk Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Sorry only just logged on again. I can't figure out what It is so maybe the supplied the wrong part? Send it back. Glad it is all working, it's quite easy with the proper guides and loom adaptors Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
