What Options if There is no pre-wiring loom,VDA connector on ZAFIRA?

I have Zafira 02 CLUB
What options do I have if I have not got the pre-wiring phone loom,
VDA connector nor the antenna. I wish to install CARK91 where the
telehone audio goes thru the car speakers.

I have checked the white square that should contain the transformer-
it does not actually have any metal connector sockets in it, so one
assumes that there is also not any wires attached to it either. The
metal connector sockets for Fuse 19 (10A) is also missing. The VDA
connector and the antenna are also missing.

I did have the CAR300 radio but I swapped it for Delco CDR500
CDPlayer. I checked the ISO connector plate where the CDR500 slots
into and the metal connector sockets are missing for TEL MUTE and TEL
AUDIO, although all the metals contacts are there.

I suspect the VDA wiring is missing because the factory radio was CAR300
- which, from memory, has no phone support. The Club, being the base
model, may well have a stripped down wiring loom as well - as many of
the options on higher models aren't available even as factory extras on
the Club.


Your options now are somewhat limited - at least without a load of
hassle.


I presume you have my document from
http:://www.wood2.org.uk/carkit.doc


I think your only option is going to be installing the missing contacts
into the radio plug (the documentation is on the top of the radio,
actually), and finding your own power feeds. The VDA microphone is a
dead loss - use a Nokia one.

The mute line is easy enough - yellow wire to the mute terminal on the
radio's ISO connector. You'll need to get hold of the transformer and
figure out which winding is which. If you want to go down this route,
email me, and I'll see if amongst the papers I have on file I've got the
wiring details of the transformer.


Any help and advice much appreciated.

Well - I wouldn't want to attempt what you're doing - but I'll do what I
can to help.

It's neater to use the audio input on the radio if you can - for a
start, it means that the steering wheel volume controls work.

However, the original poster's car is going to lack steering wheel
controls, as it was originally supplied with a CAR300.


Maybe that lead is the best solution in this case. I certainly wouldn't
want to attempt what he is intending to!
