Retrofitting Tcu Harnas For Combox

Hey,

I been told its easy to retrofit a combox when you have a TCU.
I dont have a TCU but i have cutted a part of the TCU wiring from a broken car.
The plan is to connect every cable to my wiring harnas at the back of the cic unit.
The problem is i dont have a glue where the cables have to be connected.
Are there people here who have already done this?


Or are there people who have a diagram for the cable from the TCU and the Big plug for the CIC unit ?
I have the Bluetooth antenna and the mic

This is what i have :

What is your vin? A combox media needs power and most bus. You could use a cd changer pre-wiring.

The new plan is to pin the combox (26 pin) cable straight to the quadlock

Can i remove the aux pins from the quadlock and link them straight to the combox connector ? Because from then the aux is controller true the combox and not true the Cic ?
Or should i keep them both ?

The kufatec connector is junk that does not fit. All you need a power and most bus for a combox media. I am sure you could grab power somewhere near the most block and run some most lines to the combox.

You only need power and most lines for the combox to work. All of the other wires are for telematics which are dead at least in the US.
