for the DVD Nav+ users outside of UK (i.e. without the CD changer wiring) please note that the connectors on back of the new NAV systems are different from all other previous Audi/WV radios where Phatbox has the cable and wonderfull "installation" manual
I tried to get information from AOA about pinout for Phatbox cable (Audi and Phatbox provides idiot proof install manual - pink wire to pin # x, blue wire to pin # y and so on, wonderfull pictures so even monkey could do it .....).
DVD Nav+ has has 4 different connectors, nice and big label on the bottom of the unit with clear description of each pin on each connector. Phatbox however provides only colors and pin # for Audi DIN connector, no info about actuall wire function.
:confused:
So, since last week, Audi and Phatnoise are debating who should provide the information - they respond quickly but substance was amazing - "we do not provide any hardware support here, please contact Phatnoise (Audi, response time 20 minutes). Phatnoise , day later ..... "we are not authorized to release any wirring information about our Phatbox units for Audi..... contact your car manufacturer....."
:argue:
so, if someone will want to use Phatbox in plus, I have the info ..... works nice with the 6.5" screen .... :thumb:
also the connectors need much smaller pins than supplied from Phatnoise/Audi with the wirring kit - we used some Motorola parts and worked like a champ ...
:brag: :cheers:
