Discovery Radio - CD changer connections
 

I have a Discovery which has a VDO type number 22DC597/60R Head unit
RG597W11048487
I want to connect this to an Alpine XQE000110PMAD CD changer.

The CD changer has a short lead terminating in a rectangular plug connector
with 10 pin locations arranged in two parallel rows of 5 of which 8 are
wired. The head unit has two rectangular multipin plug connectors one of
which has male pins and the other has female holes both of which are
arranged in parallel rows.

Apparently the CD changer is somewhat of a limited edition so a production
interconnection cable is not readily available and I may have to make
something up. Does anyone have a pinout of the connector for the rectangular
connector or an idea of the functions of the colour coded conductors
terminated therein and similar for the head unit?

1st January new building regs (Electrical)

Lives will be lost for this political move. Needed rewires will
be delayed, extension leads and adaptors will be used instead of
fitting sockets, fuseboards will not be replaced with modern CUs, and
so on. Its only effect is to impede sensible people improving their and
others' safety.

It is now an offence for us to improve our own domestic safety levels.

It is now an offence for someone with a degree in electrical and
electronic engineering to rewire their house: a 17 year old with an NVQ must
do it instead.


Whoever put part P together is in line for some serious embarrassment.
