No navigation voice

[willy_manily]

Well i just installed Navigation into my E39. It came prewired with the Front Widescreen Monitor and the TV tuner, so i purchased the 'jump up loom' so that i can have both navigation and tv installed and working. That all came today and i installed it and its all working a treat except navigation voice.

Basically the sound mutes but no voice is heard through the speakers.

I plugged the navigation unit straight into the blue cable coming from the car with no 'jump up loom' and it worked, but when i use the loom no sound comes from the unit, just the tv.

I have read here that people are having the exact same issue http://www.xoutpost.com/electronics/...v-voice-2.html

Can anybody explain how to fix this issue, and what wires i have to change etc, im pretty confused as to what i need to do, does anybody have a diagram or anything.

This is the jump up cable that i purchased http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....#ht_900wt_1139


EDIT: Here are some photos of hows its wired up: ( excuse the poor quality of the photos, taken with phone )

The audio wiring in your adapter harness may not be correct. Try the fixes discussed in these two threads.

#1: MKIV Voice Buzz Issue SOLVED !!
#2: Nav Audio - Success

Sounds like the 2 wires that plug into the radio module have not been done.

Check the following:

On the blue plug (on the mk4) pin 9 (nav audio out +) and pin18 (nav audio out -), should go to the TV modules white plug on pins 3 (nav audio in +) and pin 12 (nav audio in -).

From here they go into the radio module (one of the smaller blocks in the big radio plug).

bm54 (flat pin), 12 pin white plug (I think) pin 10 (nav/tv audio right), pin 12 (nav/tv audio letf) and pin 12 (nav/tv audio gnd).

Also check the black 12 pin plug pin 5 (nav/tv audio +) and pin 11 (nav/tv audio -)

Are you getting sound from the TV?

Yes im getting sound from the TV, just not Navigation.

Also how do i know the PIN numbers, do you have any charts or anything.

Thanks

Hi there, i found that pin 18 and pin 9 of the blue connector in the back of the MK3 goes to this large white plug which connects into the car, not into the TV tuner, could this be a problem. Im not sure what that large white connector does. But i think this could be the issue


EDIT: Fixed, it was that plug, not sure where it was going but its all good now
