I am putting in a RCD510 and am also getting the 9W2 module (not the wiring) that came with it.
From what I read (and there is a lot to read) the module is from a MK6 white-display vehicle so it won't work with my red-display vehicle correct? I have a non-MFD non-MFSW Rabbit, but the bluetooth module requires a connection to the CAN right? So having the RCD510 in the vehicle wont magically make this 9W2 work? I don't really care about MFSW capability or anything, I really just care about A2DP and making calls though the system on my phone. Unfortunately I don't know the exact model number of the 9W2 unit yet.
So since I am a cheap DIY person who doesn't mind playing with car electronics, I am attempting to research all the connections needed to make my own bluetooth harness.
I know I need a mic (two wires, they go to that connector to the bluetooth module, not known which pins).
The aux is easy to figure out too.
Now the problem I am having is the actual plug and harness that goes from the module to the back of the head unit.
Here is an ebay picture of the harness
JetTurbo has another one from the Stu dude too.
And this image from the stu dude's website:
I want to make this cable myself since it's not that many wires.
From what I can gather:
Needs a wire for:
High CAN (I know where this is on the quad lock plug, but not which pin on the bluetooth module plug)
Low CAN (same as above)
Red Power (same as above)
Black Ground (same as above)
****Updated with exact pin info (On the QUADLOCK)****
CAN Hi - Pin 9 (Orange/Purple)
CAN Lo - Pin 10 (Orange/Brown)
Ground - Pin 12 (Brown)
12v Positive Supply - Pin 16 (Red/White)
****
and then that suspicious green plug that nobody identifies what pin goes where (but I assume carries right, left, common ground, maybe something else?)
So the info I am missing:
a pinout for the plug that actually goes to the bluetooth unit (a part number for this plug would be good too)
a pinout for the green plug that goes into the back of the head unit (a part number for this plug would also be good).
Really there aren't that many wires going places at all:
Power/Ground
CAN High/Low
Two wires to the mic (on further examination of the picture, those black and white wires look like they terminate on that plug on the module, so pin placement is unknown)
and that green plug with the blue and yellow wires (unidentified).
If anybody has this information it would be greatly appreciated (If you have the harness sitting around it is really easy to use a multimeter and figure out which wire goes where! You would be helping me and I'll make a DIY for others so be a hero!) If you have the harness sitting around and want to send it to me so I can duplicate it and post my findings and I'll send it back to you, that works too
Thanks mucho.
