A few dilemmas connecting up a Factory SatNav to 08 VE

Specific interior modification information for Holden Commodore VE and VEII Series Commodores, and HSV E1, E2, and E3 models

Hey,
Recently I purchased an 08 VE SSV, I'd read up previously prior to purchasing the vehicle that if the vehicle had the TravelPilot unit in the glovebox that the vehicle had SatNav and that the 'Full maps not available' message I was getting when I pressed the Nav button only meant I had to install a CD, Little did I know that it seems the prior owner seems to have purchased the unit separately and just thrown everything in and never connected anything.

After pulling the dash to million and one pieces (Which was surprisingly easy to do) I found that I seem to have everything except a plug was missing 6-7 wires and a video wiring harness missing (Which even if I did have one I can't find anywhere on the head unit to connect into.).

This is the plug from my car harness to my glovebox (Blue wire is boot popper and Orange is the glovebox light, black obviously being the earth)

This is the plug from the glovebox harness and the car harness together.

This is about the only connectors I have on my head unit box (the only plug, besides the arial on the other side that is used is the bottom connector in this image.)

This is my Facia

I have the
Nav Gateway
TravelPilot
GPS Wiring harness (Glovebox side)
Nav Antenna

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Please feel free to flick through the rest of the photos to get a better idea. (If dropbox will let you)

Hi SSVinator.

Have you had a look at this doco
view_doc.php?doc_id=75&model_id=19
Have a good look at the Fitting a custom VGA Cable part.
(Your headunit has the required video connector, its just that you will need to make a custom cable to connect
the VGA style Video connector from the Sat Nav unit, to the Holden specific Video connector on the main headunit.

I also saw your revised posts on justcommodores,
It definiely looks like your vehicles glovebox connector does not have the extra wires needed.

Make sure that the connector you are using on the vehicle is this one.
16277
as all Series I models fitted with the colour LCD screen SHOULD have these extra wires available for the Sat Nav Option on the vehicles wiring harness.

Failing that, I can try and look up the wiring information for that connector, to try and determine what wires you are missing,
and see if you can splice in to the harness somewhere to make connections.

Actually looking at your drop box photos, it definitely looks like you are missing a few connectors on the glovebox harness on the vehicle.

Here is a link to the wiring information for the Sat Nav Module

TO get the Sat Nav module registering, try connecting the Dark Green wire coming from the Navigation Gateway (Pin5) directly to the Low Speed Single Wire Can Bus wire on the Radio Connector (X4 Pin 6 - Green Wire)

More Info here...

Once that is connected, you should be able to use Nav (but you wont have voice until you connect the Nav audio lines to the headunit)....
