Need Dietz Wiring Diagram!
I have a Dietz 1440 I am trying to hook up in my Euro Comand 2.0 from MBenzNL. I need to know where some of the pins from the Dietz plug into the C1 and C2 harnesses. This is what I have so far, if anyone knows whats wrong, please help!
C1
Pin 1. Red for RGB
Pin 2. Light Green for RGB
Pin 3. Dark Blue for RGB
Pin 4. Black for RGB Ground ????
Pin 7. White for RGB Sync ????
I have no clue if Pin 4 and Pin 7 are right. I'm pretty sure 1, 2, and 3 are in the right spots. I got crystal clear video from my TV Tuner for a sec, and all the colors looked fine. It just stopped working after that
C2
Pin 2. Orange for Right Audio
Pin 11. Light Blue for Left Audio
Pin 17: Purple for CAN Lo
Pin 18: Yellow for CAN Hi
I already figured out that I need to switch pins 2 and 11 around. My audio is backwards. The sound works when I pop a DVD in, and also when I have the TV Tuner on. Sounds fine. As far as the CAN Hi and CAN Lo, I assume I have these correct as well. The instrument cluster recognizes that I have a TV option, and displays "TV CH". The TV button also works. Not sure if the black or white wire from C1 needs to be in C2 instead.
Anyone who can help, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Wouldnt the left over wires be audio ground and shield ? The TV option has private can and you may need some kind of activation in the head unit.

If anyone out there has a dietz1440 or something similar, I'd pay for a wiring diagram. The one Dietz sent me isn't the same as the one I have. They keep giving me 13 wiring locations, but the 1440 only has 9 wires coming out of it. I dont see how they dont know their own products.

how are you getting the TV Ch to display if you are using Dietz 1440. this adapter is used without the OEM Tv Tuner. when you hit the TV button, your screen should just blank and the video source should be displayed.
by the way, your pins 4 and 7 are correct. 4 is rgb ground - black and sync - white. you should also have 3 more wires aside from the C1 and C2 connectors which are red, black and pink. Red to your 12v constant, black to ground and pink - non-grounded = 4:3 and grounded = 16:9. since you have a comand 2.0, do not connect the pink wire to anything.

THe black and red wire from the dietz box are hooked up, and the pink is not. The instrument cluster says "TV CH" when I push the TV button. It does not give me a channel number though.
