UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

I've got mine working as well. Used the Connects2 CTSVW003 adapter and spliced the red ACC wire from the headunit to the antenna power in the adapter loom.

hm. wonder if you needed the CTSVW003 at all then? mind you - i noticed something spooky i wasnt expecting. When my CAN02 switches the HU on ...

This shows the back of the QUADLOCK connector. CANBUS HI = ORANGE/PURPLE , CANBUS LO = ORANGE ...

All very interesting, glad it worked out for you, and very glad I didn't have such problems when I replaced the OEM HU from my 9n with a single din face off unit from Sony!

well, when i put the HU in the 9N3, I didnt have these problems either, but then I did have to connect the HU to a permanent ...

DONE IT!

yes yes yes yes!

dammit, its so HARD , especially with no documentation.. or at least very very VERY dispersed documentation.

right.
heres the lowdown - the bit that i wish i found documented:

to connect an aftermarket non-canbus headunit (ie: one that needs a data signal from your car ...

Can-bus is quite literally ruining my life...

tell me about it. Near zero documentation, and i just dont understand why aftermarket headunits dont talk CANBUS (and have selectable flavours of them, as different manufactures use slightly different signalling apparently).

CANBUS - great idea ...

hi blaze -

Is this the CTSVW002? It's basically meant to fit between the quadlock plug on the wiring loom and the new stereo.

no - This is the Connects2 CAN02.

(they might be resellers, as it seems to be labelled part 032.1010 from rta-mobile ...

Morning Chaps -

Righty.
A quick one.

I have a Pioneer AVH3200BT headunit.. connected it in, all lovely.
snag is - if i dont drive the car for a week - the battery dies because the unit is connected to a permanent +12V power source. The "good old RCD200" (yuk puke retch.. but at least it playes ...

Well.

Its in.

And its fitted in quite nicely, thought i say it myself *chuffed*.
Basically, I had to think this one through quite carefully, since the car is a company car, and I cant make any permanent modificatons - so this means no drilling holes, or adding flux capacitors, Mr Fusion fuel ...

ps: putting back the glove box.. mysteriously.. i have 5 T20 torx screws left over....

HAHAHAHHAHAH HA HA h HAhA HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA...
theres no way im even going to TRY to put those back. theyre in the glove box. they can sit there for all i care.
the glovebox itself seems stable, so stuff it ...

Well..

Thank you very much everyone for your fab and valued advice.
I have crossed the bulkhead into the cabin!

Thing is - i couldnt get the cable to go via the grommet near the windscreen corner, passenger side. Which was a shame, because I was quite chuffed i got the glove box out. I "had a ...

Another guide for removing the glovebox because imo pictures speak louder than words (or something like that)

oo.. useful.. thanks for ...

Nooooo!!
unless you want to explain to your boss how you managed to burn out your company car lol


heh.. ok! This idea has been officially trashed, in a bag marked "Do Not Open until 2094 AD. Also hazardous to aquatic life".
That should prevent future generations going down this track ...

you need to take the 3 T20 torx from the tray, then drop that down, then another 3 holding the glovebox up, then a couple in the sides of the glovebox, then one on the catch!

fab - nice one, thanks for that info - i'll keep an eye out. Saturday - going to give this thing a damn good effort and ...

Allo All.

Ive had a thought. Ive got a company car - 2006 Polo 9N3 1.4 TDi , had it from new. Last year, I finally had enough of the rubbish-but-at-least-plays-mp3-on-cd OEM stereo, and stuck in a Pioneer 2DIN headunit, which im really pleased with.

Thing is - its a company car, so ive installed ...
