Title: Changing to Blaupunkt head unit - Autoleads?
Post by: JayUK on 23 September 2007, 15:34:23

Well I'm going to change from mySony head unit as it's starting to cough on MP3 discs I'm using. Eject put, put it back in, fingers crossed - Repeat until it works...

Anyhoo, I'm looking at the Blaupunkt Memphis MP66 unit as this has SD card support.

I'm getting conflicting reports though of getting the steering wheel controls to work, some say there's an Autolead connector out there and others say can't be done.  :-?

Anyone got Blaupunkt after-market head units working?

I work in the in car entertainment business, Autoleads do a blaupunkt wheel lead called the pc99-bla if i remember rightly and is available off the shelf in halfrauds for £5.

Most Blaupunkts have the facility for it except the really cheap ones. The 66 should be fine! if you can have a look on the back of the unit, it plugs into the mini-iso port above where you plug your car loom into. The vauxhall leads the expensive bit, bit if you already had you Sony wired up providing you have the new style multi-part system its a £5 swap over :)

hope this helps.

Cheers for that, I'll track a lead down.

The Sony's connected fine, but will I need a new vauxhall connector as it's Blaupunkt not Sony, or are they the same?
