BA/BF ICC (Radio) Mods and Hacking

[Robertau]

Right! So while I had the ignition barrel out.. I saw this little plug up in there.. not connected to anything.. any ideas??

Thats the plug for the Adjustable Pedal Box, or more to the point the plug for the switch for adjustable pedals.


.

So I think those two plugs are the phone connector.. 4pin and 2pin connectors there.

correct on the 4 pin and 2 pin plug.
the 4 pin plug is +12 Constant, ACC +12, Ground and phone mute.
the 2 pin plug is phone audio + and -

Annnnd... I didnt notice this plug before as its wrapped in foam.. but appears to be 6pin.. and its looping in on itself on one of the pins. I think tats the Aux plug..

That does look like the AUX plug to me the top 2 in the pic are the ones that Loop back?

I'm 90% sure its the AUX plug on 2nd look

Cheers Rob!

I think it is, I was twisted up like a pretzel trying to get my head in there, so Ill unbolt the fuse box so I can get a better hold of it.

Will pull off that foam surround and unplug it, see if that disables the AUX on screen.

Yep that was the aux plug.

Time to put together a dual aux style like you have Rob!

Weird that theres a bridge plug in there like that, does it actually have a harness on it running off somewhere (like the factory AUX?) that i can't see in the pics or is it literally just a plug with the aux enable loopback wire?

I think it is a factory Aux on as it looks exactly like the ones Iv seen in other BA/BF's when Iv done work on them.

But yeah there is a loop back wire in the misc of that wrapped up wire.

Currently tracking down a plug, pins and parts to make up a dual aux version of it.

you should be able to get all 3 plugs from the back of a VT commodore? from memory out the trim and lights that fit in the boot lid (got mine of my brother) he was going to throw them out, even better is you'll get the matching sets if you take them out of both sides!

Thought about that, but as they are common automotive connectors, they should be readily available for purchase. Just a matter of tracking down the right plug!. Alot of sites only have datasheets.. and no actual pictures... so its gonna be a shot in the dark

[TazzI]

I will never.. ever.. ever attempt getting a harness out of another Ford again. Gave up in the end and top the snips to the harness to start grabbing the connectors out for all the main modules.
Completely understand why wreckers have simply ignored my requests for the harness... its an absolute b**** of a job to get out.

But.. now its time to get some wiring diagrams flowing to fire up the ICC, cluster, HIM, BEM and ECU all up on bench.

Will start with the ICC first

(Excuse if the image is down.. seems my sever is having dramas...)
Sooooo. got the ICC wiring.. time to find the required wires...




Sooo.. looks like the wires we need to fire it up and communicate are:

-Const Bat : Yellow
-Ignition : Red-Green
-Ground : Black
-ACC: Black-yellow
-CAN H : Brown-yellow
-CAN L : Pink-Blue

*Edit, confirmed the above by matching wires from diagnostics spec and power schematics

*Edit2: Updated to correct colour coding, thanks for pointing out Rob!

isnt it black for ground, black yellow for acc? thats how i have mine wired up and working.

blue in the SCH's is L im sure
