Alpine Halo 11 + Connects2 CTKVW52 + Connects2 Cam 52

[Scott2]

Progress is being made between family life and work but now looking for help again.............

I have been upgrading speakers, soundproofing etc and now time for the headunit and it is very different to when I was 18 years old in my Astra SRI!!!

Van is T6.1 and I have the parts as per the title.

I think I am mostly there but just wanted to double check:
USB Wiring
* ACC connector shows as option to connect but is best to connect this to Y power cable on other loom?
* USB A goes to which connector? I assume one of the two USB outputs on Alpine (USB2 1.5A?)

SOS Loom
* RXD/TXD male connector (2 green wires) - Not used?
* Interface loom - 4 cable male connector (black, red, yellow, blue) - Not used?
* Mute wire (grey) - Not used?

Alpine loom
* HDMI-rem-out - Not used?
* AUX-rem-out - Not used?
* Steering remote - Not used? (I assume patch lead covers this)
* LIN - Not used?
* Connects2 I/F - Not used?
* Front camera - Not used

FM Loom
* Power antenna loose and not pinned in terminal block - Not used

Questions to above:
* Where can I take power for reverse camera? I have power wire with RCA, should this live and have camera available constant, or reverse wire (orange and white)? Does constant shorten the camera life?
* Speaker out terminal blocked connected or not if using RCA to send to amp?


Sorry the long post.
Cheers

Some images to show the problem parts.

 

[Scott2]

I can power the unit and radio works (DAB and FM) sound comes through speakers but not via amp/sub.
Looking in the Halo menu no CAN connected. I feel I’m missing something with wiring but been through so many times with both Connects2 and Alpine manuals, plus looking on here.
The wires don’t match in colour but I’ve joined parking brake, reverse, speed sensor etc.

Hiya

Just seen this, as not been on here as much due to being busy.

But I suggest dropping the Connects2 CTKVW52 adapter as it’s not a patch on the mib 303 alpine kit , this keeps the vehicle info/settings on the touch screen itself plugs into the 2 pink can wires on the alpine loom, also uses the Oe mic. Graphically far superior as well and far easier to install

[Scott2]

Thanks for the info, much appreciated
I tried the full instal again this evening just to try eliminate any errors and CAN still showing as disconnected.
How much could you supply the can interface for delivered? Do you have one in stock?

 

[Absolut5]

It will, the connects 2 kit does not connect to the alpine via Can,

I think I have stock at work £200.00 plus £7.99 postage

 

[Scott2]

I’ll call later.
Does this fit the T6.1? Model not listed on Alpine website.
With the above loom I would still have two questions:

SOS Loom - RXD/TXD male connector (2 green wires) - Not used?

* Where can I take power for reverse camera? I have red tail wire with the RCA, should this be live and have camera available constant, or reverse wire (orange and white)? Does constant shorten the camera life if perm live?

Thanks for the order today, and hopefully answered all your questions

 

[Scott2]

I’ve PM my details, so hopefully all good.

No worries, happy to order with you and give something back for your support.
Any further ICE purchases you will be my first call.

All questions answered and loom stripped out this evening in readiness.

 

[Scott2]

Hi Jason,
Just to let you know the loom arrived today and all fitted.
I have to say, it’s a much better solution.
Thanks again for your help.
Scott
