Re: Delco Bose AUX Input soldered connection...
 

Chuck H / binghamtone ;

eMail sent there - I haven't gone back over the schematic, re.; cancel CD drive power, and still get signal from CD channels when the jack is inserted...

This could be only a physical switch in the optical drive tray, which closes a circuit. A ground (-) perhaps???

One of the terminals in the jack IS a ground - could the CD interrupt switch / ground be integrated INTO the jack's ground (-) ?

If you get yours pulled before I do, and find the switch, get some snappics posted here...

Hib,

Which Pioneer model are you talking about? I have an AVIC D3 and would like to connect my iPhone 4 to it. Read about the Pioneer module but doesn't seem to work well from comments. Any info would be of interest. I know later models of the Pioneer unit offer more sophisticated integration.

Check out the App Radio 2 or App Radio 3 (new)

I have the App Radio 2.. it works with iPhone/iPod and Android

Confabulation-

1. the act of confabulating; conversation; discussion.

2. Psychiatry-the replacement of a gap in a person's memory by a falsification that he or she believes to be true.

I had to look that word up, obviously the first definition works here. It was used by XFireZ51 back in 2009 as well. Good word.

Thanks for sharing the audio work Schrade, that info could be useful to many people.
I hope you find a workaround for the CD mainboard powerup routine.

Thanks again.

peace

Maybe I'm getting old (40) but my BOSE system sounds fine to me - actually pretty damn good and I have had some high end stereo systems in some of my cars.

Most times when people complain the system is not working properly. If you have a full refurb from Dr. Don, the system sounds damn good.

Re: Delco Bose AUX Input soldered connection...
 

I am old ! On the 94 the stereo system sound's fine to me , MUCH better than the earlier car's.
I'd Like to get the I-Pod connected if possible. That would help out on the long trip's.

Ok this is what I am looking at I tried connecting to the red and black wires which on your radio were blue and white and now cd player wont power up ?

Re: Delco Bose AUX Input soldered connection...
 

I unconnected the aux completely and the cd still wont power up at all so now I have a different issue that will have to be addressed before it will work I guess.

Re: Delco Bose AUX Input soldered connection...
 

It won't power up, and you re-connected the original connections?

How 'bout the cassette?

Re: Delco Bose AUX Input soldered connection...
 

And as I think further, the power defeat could NOT be as simple as re-routing the existing [switch] ground to the input jack ground, because it then would no longer be a switch, and the CD wouldn't play.

But POSSIBLY routing the CD switch POWER, THROUGH the input jack...

I need hands on. *&)^%@

OK, but it is grounded or not wire #1, where is it connected on the Radio head?
