CCR2006 cd connections
« on: 18 February 2011, 12:57:15 »
Having looked at the excellent post about removing the cd changer part of this stereo it gave me an idea. The cd changer connects to the tape/tuner part by a ribbon lead, could this be used to connect an aftermarket cd changer (by appropriate adaptor)? My player is really struggling to play any cd now and it is doing my head in. Does anyone have details of the pin connections between the units?

Unlikely as it's proprietry to Siemens / Phillips, it may be possible to connect a CDC2 instead of a CDC3 but that would be a downgrade and a lot of work for little return!

Thanks VXL V6, back to the drawing board then. I have bose and am quite happy with the system, plus i don't want to re-wire the speakers for a new headunit, just thought it might be possible to add a changer using the red connector/ribbon that connects the two units. Oh well, the joys!

It is possible to replace the lower half of the CD Changer with a know good working one. Just keep the vertical board in the CD Changer with the headunit, as this is how the CD Coding works.

Thanks guys but I think I have found something that means I can fit an aftermarket stereo and retain the Bose setup, just need to find if they will send it from America!

Check with Dave DND - he says each manufacturer uses a different Bose system, running at different levels.  I assume that means that Bose adapters have to be manufacturer specific?

This is the product and it is adjustable.

I am in conversation with someone at Bose at the moment to get the output levels so it could be calibrated.

It will be interesting to see what DaveDND has to say about this little gadget.

The manufacturers manual is available online

Assuming I can get this from America, what else is required to keep the steering controls and display. Am I right in thinking that Kenwood are the only company that do a display interface? And also is there a remote wire for the amp from the original HU?

Yes, there is, and it's a reasonably conventional "+12v when on" signal that also powers the illumination of the steering wheel buttons, triggers the MID to display radio data and powers the antenna preamp.

You will need interfaces for the steering and display specific to the head unit type.

Cheers Kevin, so most aftermarket units will also be able to keep the display, I know most will connect to the steering wheel but I thought in most cases you lost the function of the display.

Sorry - that connection just tells the display that it needs to switch to showing the radio information. The display will remain blank unless you have an additional adaptor to connect head unit and display. Not sure how common they are, TBH.  :-/

Cheers, I think from my previous exploits in my Vectra and Astra, Kenwood are the only one that make a Vx Display adapter. I will look into it, it's not essential was just wondering who made the display adapters

OK,

No, you cannot simply connect an aftermarket changer, its not just the wiring that is different, the protocol (language) they communicate with is wildly different.

No, the Scoshe convertors do not work on the Omega - they are very good on GM units sold in the USA, but like everything BOSE, they all work at different levels.
