RNS510 Aux In / coding

Featured Replies

Hello

Purchased myself an RNS 510 - all fitted and looks luv-er-ly! Nav, HDD, DVD & SD, all work fine, and it's updated the maxidot display so that as well as the clock I get a little compass bearing the whole time.

Two issues - one's the usual rubbish CD changer quality issue so I'll swap the pins over this weekend (although i did have an MFD2 with Aux in already so wasn't expecting.this issue!)

The issue I don't know how to solve is that the Aux in is available in the RNS menu, so it looks like it's coded ok, but I don't get any sound through it - it's the Jumbo-box aux in.

I think this is down to the media adapter (not part of the quadlock) that the MFD2 was using looks like it's not a complete fit for the socket on the back of the MFD3. It fits, but doesn't lock and looks like there might be a larger one, so guessing the pins don't match. Does anyone know where I can get the new adapter / or what the PN is, and then how to update the wiring?

Also, is there any other coding that might need doing for the swap? I'm hoping to fit the OEM bluetooth I've bought in a week or two, so will be needing to do some anyway!

Thanks!

Remove the pins from the media plug used with the MFD2 and wire it up to the correct pins for the Columbus on the Quadlock.

ah, so it doesn't use the small media connector at all for aux in? Will give that a go at the w/e.

For some reason Skoda used the extra connector for the Aux in on the MFD2 - They didn't need to.

Can I ask VRStu, or anyone else who exchangerd Nexus(MFD2) for Columbus, about wiring on secondary connection plug for Nexus/MFD2?

My car's an early MY07 Octavia and has "big box" aux in as described above.

On coming to changeover, with v. valuable assistance from another member, we identified the 3 wires to activate/operate the Aux socket - also doing Quadlock wire switch. Everything then (eventually) worked fine.

However the small connector which fitted into rear of Nexus has 2 additional cables (green & brown??) with no obvious home.

Can anyone confirm/suggest what they could be for?

Many thanks
