Trying to convert from APS20 to Comand NTG2.5 - with problems
Hi everyone,
I realise that this subject has been written about a lot of times. Still im hoping that someone has some insight that I can use.
What I was trying to do.
I wanted to convert my original APS20 (CD with changer) and no microphone unit with a newer Comand NTG2.5 unit bought on Ebay (HDD edition with updated maps)
What I have incountered.
Tried first to install the NTG2.5 directly using original wiringharness - only because NTG2.5 dealer told that it was possible. It is not..
Next i bought wiringharness from German Kabeldaviko with microphone and tried again. This time the power went on, but I ran into the following problems.
1. The unit turns on, if ignition is turned on.
2. The unit turns off when ignition is turned on
3. I can not turn on the NTG2.5 when the ignition is on.
3.a If i try to connect through STAR software, NTG2.5 instantly turns off.
This is where I am at present time. Each time I revert to APS20 and drive on.. But weee.. I would love to get my NTG2.5 working.
Any Wizz out there with any kind of solution?
Best regard,
Martin
