How and What do I need to connect an amplifier RCA cables to the Amundsen MIB2 ?

 

As far as I know, the factory harness connector doesn't have RCA leads!

 

When it comes to aftermarket infotainment devices, they have RCA connectors and Blue"Signal" line for amplifiers.

Don't you guys have an answer ?

Correct, there are no RCA plug or remote line on the factory headunit.

 

You'll either need:

- something to convert from high to low level input and create a remote line - just for example: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Critical-Channel-Speaker-Output-Convertor/dp/B073D55T5L

- an amplifier with high-level inputs and auto-sense technology to turn on/off

Isn't there just a T Harness adapter with Lineout RCA and remote line ?

The factory amp uses CAN-bus to turn on/off and fibre optic (MOST) for audio.

 

That's why there are no low level outputs or a remote wire 😉

I get it now. I need that converter to get a low amp lineout from speakers lines, don't I?

But I would use a quadlock ISO extender or an extender with Reverse Camera input to avoid making changes to the original adapter cables when connecting Vibe lines. Isn't that a better idea?

 

And what about that amplifier with (auto-sense) ??? What is the auto-sense ?

I have read on Amazon that Vibe converter provides a remote line!

I would definitely use an extension loom or similar to avoid cutting the original wires.

 

Some amplifiers need a remote line to turn on. Others will turn on automatically when audio is detected on the input, this is auto-sense but may have other marketing names.
