MFD2 removed, Kenwood dnx520vbt installed

[AGray]

Hi,

I have just removed my MFD2 and installed a Kenwood dnx520vbt

My MFD2 has the Shark fine aerial on the roof, the ipod prep in the centre armrest and the car also had a Sony Ericsson Phone setup installed.

My problems are that my Radio signal is awful, and I have a lot of spare connectors left unused.
Here are some photos.

For the MFD2, the connector with the blue parts on it in this photo was plugged into the back of the MFD2
AND the connector with the cream part was plugged into the connector that my thumb is on:



At the top of this photo there is a cream, a white and a blue connector.
I am guessing these come from the shark fine aerial?
Is the Blue the GPS and the cream and white are radio?

These are the wrong type of connectors to plug into my headunit to use for GPS or radio.
Am I needing one of these connectors?



If I know what colour represents GPS and which represents Radio I should be able to sort something out :)

Oh, i forgot to say..... i had to plug the cream connection into the back of the Kenwood as the blue would not fit.
So I have the blue connector and the black one that my thumb is on both disconnected and just sitting unused.
I am guessing these are the parts that connect the sony ericson phone adapter and the ipod prep in the arm rest?

I want one of these so bad when you get it sorted if you have time a little review and install information would be great.

I'm in Falkirk, Scotland.

Yep I'll happily write a review, I've got it all working except for a perfectly clear radio signal and sat nav showing up on the highline dash display.

It just feels weird having all of these extra connectors and not knowing what they do.
I wish they had markings on them to tell you what they do as it is near impossible to follow them!

Anyone know which one of these connectors links to the highline dash to show the sat nav directions on the dash?

hi dude iv looked into these and as far as im aware as i asked a kenwood rep at a show he said they dont show navigation on the highline dude

Ahwell, guess I'll get used to life without it!

Thanks for letting me know! :)
