Hi all, I'm in the middle of installing a Grom BT3 bluetooth / Ipod adaptor, and I've come to the connection bit. I am suffering from the 10 pin blues

And just go to a scrapyard and dig around in the boot of a BMW 3 series for the 3 and 6 pin plugs. |

Hi Chris, thanks for the link, but I have already seen it, probably 10 times! I know I saw a post with all the pins listed, that one only uses 3 wires out of the 5 that are in the socket of the new interface.

I still need HELP!!!!!!!!!! the ffrr 10 pin connector pin outs are hiding from me. I found what I thought was the answer, but after careful study of the pictures and de-coding of the abc xyz labels that had been assigned to the photo, I have realised that the author has labelled pin 6 (6 pin con) as pin A, and given it a connection. This is completely wrong as pin 6 is a no connection, as shown on the excellent BMW chaps diagram. Plus I can confirm that this is correct by the lack of pin 6 in my connector.

I followed the re-pin instructions on the link I posted above and it worked for my Intravee. Any pins which didn't require moving to the 3 or 6 pin plugs I just left them in the ten pin connector. That way I had no bare pins hanging about and I wouldn't lose the ten pin plug for when I eventually remove the Intravee and put the CD player back in. |

Hi Chris, there is nothing wrong with the instructions that are on web, however they do leave the earth shield and an audio ground in the discarded pile. This could lead to strange goings on with the system from interference, in a diesel this would be very unlikely, and not too common on a petrol, but not impossible. If BMW / Rover thought they could do without the shield and an earth they would have left them out, thus saving them a fortune in copper cable. It might be dotting the i's and crossing the t's, I feel that it was put there for a reason and therefore should be used. In the electrical and audio worlds electrical interference is the biggest source of gremlins, and leaving out ground and shield wires would be a big no no. |
