Hi there, Firstly, hello, just joined and this is my first post here. Nice group, I certainly hope that some of you might be able to help me.
Here is my dillema. I am building myself a carpc, which I have got all the components for. A Mini Itx P4 system alongside an 8" tm-868 touchscreen supplied with power through a carnetix CNX-p2140 which I want to be able to set on remote start. This will then go through my Pioneer DEH-30mp which in turn is amplified through a panasonic 2 channel m652 amp.
That was the plan anyway! The reality is that I know sweet FA about electronics apart from the bare basics and have got myself stuck at the first hurdle.
The first hurle was infact that the guy I bought the car off had already patched in the Panasonic Amp to whatever connector it is that is standard with BMW.
However, the problem I have here is that I do not and can not for the life of me sem to find a proper wiring diagram for this connector. Does anyone please have one?? He has wired the amp and speakers in some funny way to this connector and I can't work out what is what. ANy help here much appreciated!
Secondly, and also quite important. I want to be able to pulse start my carpc so that it turns on when I deactivate the alarm. This is quite possible but need to know if there is a connector on that block that has that wire on it? If not...then is there one for the ignition on there?
Failing that, does anyone know where the pulse start wire maybe located??
I know it is not the easiest of questions to answer but ANY help would be very, very much appreciated!!
Graciously Wishing for help - T
