Rd45 pinout location for rca audio

Post by McLaughlin15 »

Hi, ive changed the headunit from my c5 and it had an alpine head unit, so I've bought an rd45 but the rca wires are in the wrong part of the block because my car must have come with the rd4, does anyone know which part of the block the rca wires go into because at the moment they dont touch anything on the head unit, thanks

The rd4 and rd45 should have similar quadlock connections, so check that they haven’t fitted an aftermarket harness to interface with the Alpine unit into the vehicle’s wiring system first of all.

I’ll get some pin info for you shortly

The pin numbers for the RCA connectors are given in diagrams on the first couple of pages of: viewtopic.php?t=58078 I think that there may be more complete pinout information later in that topic.

Cheers, my usb cable will be arriving tomoz and I will be adding my own non standard mic using the diagram, I know they won't work because I'm going to have a guess that I will need lexia to open them up because I cant see them on the screen and does it have to be lexia, my wifes dad is a mechanic and is always showing me his fancy snap on diag tools and says they cost thousands, will they work with it?

Not quite with you when you say you need Lexia to "open them up"?

What C5 are you referring to a MK II (2004-2007) or the latest shape MK III (X7) 2008 on?

For configuration of the RD45, the VIN will need coding to the Head Unit and you will likely need to change some parameters. I can advise from a Diagbox point of view but not a 'Snap On' as I only use the PSA Kit.

I never noticed a problem with the sound quality from the analogue input, but I disabled it anyway as I use a USB stick or bluetooth and did not want an extra input to scroll through.
