Head unit loom
I have just bought a ZT and when I bought it the prev owner said it used to have highline unit and he tried two head units...one looked like early 75 lowline unit, and the one it currently has is a CR80 unit. Neither worked originally as C0981 and C0391 were disconnected and plugs trapped. The red/green telephone wire has been pulled out of somewhere too. Anyway I don't think this had highline as pictures of highline head units I have seen have different plug connections. Any help as how difficult it would be to fit highline?

looks like most of the loom is there so should not be too much of a issue.there is a section the plugs into the bmw quadlock plug that connects up to the head unit.looks like the aerial has been extended to the front from the back.it would be worth checking in the boot area so see if all is ok there,i may have the missing section for the front end and i also have the head unit and cd player that i do not need.that will leave the tv module plus the radio module plus the nav drive.i liked the highline system it worked well however is now rather dated and cost wise you would be better of with a modern double din unit instead.

Looking at the second picture, the Brown & Grey ISO connectors and the cable with the LED on the end indicate that the original fitting could have been a Kenwood stereo.
The OE highline stereo (Symphony) uses the same ISO connectors, the OE highline navigation system has Blue & White connectors for the display monitor (C815 &C816). |

If the Original was a Symphony unit, there would also be the 20 pin mini ISO connector (Yellow, Green & Blue). I can't see the part number of the square box in the second photo, but it could be the unit that converts the Kenwood infra red signal for the steering wheel controls, that and the DIN plug makes me think that the original unit was a Kenwood.
If there is a Blue/Orange cable in pin 2 of the grey ISO connector and a Blue/Purple in pin 3, the steering wheel controls will work with a Symphony. The Red/Green cable has not been 'pulled out' as such, it is a for 'mute' connection if it is needed for a fitted telephone unit. Last edited by raykay; 14th July 2019 at 20:29.. |
