Radio Connection - Page 2

The Symphony and changer relies on a K Bus connection for full operation.

The changer is connected to the Symphony via the Blue mini ISO plug.

The K bus is connected to the Blue mini iso plug pin 19.

You will have to find a K Bus wire in the car loom [there is a K Bus connection

in one of the plugs to the IPK Speedo/rev counter].

Just solder/connect onto the white/red/yellow at the IPK end and then connect

this wire to the wire going into pin 19 blue mini ISO plug.

This is what the Blue mini ISO plug should look like.. Ignore the Yellow and

Green mini ISO plugs in the picture.

Does anyone know where the wire is on the plug to the ipk.

Yes, Blue/Orange to pin 2, Blue/Purple to pin 3.
