Fitting Sony H/U trouble
« on: 04 August 2009, 20:22:10 »

Hi,

I tried to change my CCRT700 for a Sony MEX-1GP head unit, I have an adapter to allow use of the steering wheel controls and display, (a Connects2 DOPS004)

the trouble I'm having is marrying up the DOPS004 to the Omega's Harness.


The car connector


The DOPS004 connector

As you can see the connectors are different, anybody know how I can marry them up? an adapter maybe?

Thanks

You should be able to split the adapters longer plug off the clump and plug it in seperately

Er . . . .

 . . . . . Wrong lead   ::)

Just a thought though, and I may be mistaken on this, but I didn`t think the DOPS004 was compatable with the CCRT700 display ?

If I am wrong, then ask your supplier for the correct lead with Mini ISO terminals on it.

you're correct in that it isn't listed as being compatible with the CCRT700 but I'm removing that from the equation and going back to the main harness, and want to connect the DOPS004 to that.

@welung666:
I did think of that but the locating lug/catch is physically in the wrong place.

I used to have a sony unit in my old Miggy a '95 CDX and I had that working but for the life of me I can't remember how  :(

All the prefacelift omegas used a std (ish) iso 26 way connector apart from ccrt700 equipped cars that use iso 36 way connector.  Facelifts use 36 way ISO

So If I get a 36 pin ISO adapter to go with the DOPS004 it would work? Ive seen one but it lists it for a double DIN system, so wasn't sure  if it would work on mine.

You'd need to check wiring diagrams to see if the steering wheel connectors are in same place between ccrt and facelifts.  I guess its only steering wheel controls that you will use the top block for

Steering controls are on the lower 8 pin power part of the ISO block, and the three connections at the top are the data lines for the display.

But the reason that I have a doubt, is that the CCRT uses a completely different protocol language for the display, and to the best of my knowledge its far more involved than simply swapping a few wires around.

A CCRT700 does NOT use the same standard configured 36 pin Mini ISO block as used by the rest of the Vx Double DIN range, and the block advertised is for lower spec head units, CDR2005 / CCR2006 etc - CCRT700 does not have a solution available for doing what you are trying to do - you may need to downgrade the display itself

Oopps! Didn`t think of that one -

Sony would not be very forgiving at all if connected to a BOSE car

I would ultimately like to have the display and steering wheel controls working with the Sony, but it's not the be all and end all, if I can't get them working or at least the display part not working then I can live with it, tbh the steering wheel controls are more important to me. typical Vauxhall eh? ;)
