Which audio cables are these?



Sorry for the blurred image


Can someone tell me which audio cables these are? Ok. nr.1 is the antenna plug. What are nr 2 and 3?. Could nr 2 be the microphone plug from the handsfree cradle? If not where can I find the microphone plug and are there adapter plugs to 2,5inch audio jack available outthere?

I wanna use the original interior integrated mic and not the mic that goes along with the 2-din kenwood system. Is that possible?

I also need to know the meaning of these car wires:

Where does the mic lead to?

Could someone explain to me where the wire of this mic leads to?



I need to find an end of this microphone wire. Any ideas where to look for it?

DIY vehicle wiring information. If you can't find what you are looking for in that application, you can call their support line and they will give you the information you need.

1. is antenna
2. is phantom antenna (since when have the US models this antenna sucks because you need to buy an adapter for a good functioning of the antenna)
3. is optical (phone or CD-changer)

The wires of the mic go to the dome-light you can uncouple it there it just plugs in. Watch out for what you are doing don't mess up the cabling and cover the ends of the optical connector because you can damage it. When selling your car stock is always more interesting for buyers.

The ISO connector with three wires (two brown, one blue) is the CAN-bus and D2B wakeup. The 1 and 2 are the two FM antennas for diversity.

In US cars and my car in HK the Mic wires meet in a multipin connector that plugs into the premium audio amplifier on the right rear wheel arch. The Mic in my car is intended to adjust the volume of the audio system relative to the noise in the vehicle. In my car the music becomes louder when I drive with my wife.
