Guest V6 galaxy Posted March 14, 2003 Report Posted March 14, 2003 :phHI Can you help me? I have a Radio Navigation System MFD made by Blaupunkt which they are fitted into fords, seats and vw, s.I have the code but when i put it in (IE ) the system seat idol and then it asked for the safe-pin if I put a total wrong code in 2 times in it shut down for an hour. The unit number is: VWZ1Z7X0011289 and the code from the OE booklet is 0667. can anyone help 34r: [ Quote
jakey247 Posted March 14, 2003 Report Posted March 14, 2003 I take it that this unit was not factory installed! and you are installing it as an upgrade???? I can help as I have played around with these units quite a bit - (see other posts on this site on how to use MFD as third screen hooked up to rear DVD etc!) Basically you need to supply the safe pin, thats the third pin from left on second row up from bottom (directly above the illumination) with a positive 12v supply - this will then allow you to enter the code and the unit will then function! Hope this helps, if you need more info please ask! remember you need to connect the sat nav 26 way plug wires to the ABS modele at plug C60 under the bonnet to get it to work properly! Quote

Guest V6 galaxy Posted March 15, 2003 Report Posted March 15, 2003 Thanks jakey247I can see were i was going wrong how!!! I will give it a try later on today (as i have only just got in from work, night worker .)I am still after a cd changer for it? do you have one? as my ford oe one is a mismatch with the MFD .I have tryed ebay uk and ebay germany but no luck ie they will not post changer to the uk.Were the best place to get the sat nav 26 way plug fords or vw,s. Thank again .PS you are right in thinking it a upgrade as they are to dear from ford,s or vw,s and when i was looking for my galaxy, they where was none a round at the time.or the motor was to dear with one.

jakey247 Posted March 15, 2003 Report Posted March 15, 2003 Try a UK VW dealer for the 26way plug. Although I may be able to get yu one from a german friend. basically you only need to connect a couple of the pins, blue/white and green/white. If you don't have it already its worth buying a copy of the TIS CD as this has full wiring diagrams! Regards Jason Quote
Guest V6 galaxy Posted March 16, 2003 Report Posted March 16, 2003 I have got it working ie the radio but not the CD???????? Quote
Danny Boy Posted March 16, 2003 Report Posted March 16, 2003 Where can I get a copy of the TIS CD from?? :rolleyes: Quote

jakey247 Posted March 16, 2003 Report Posted March 16, 2003 V6 galaxy - when you say CD is not working? what do you mean? In case you are trying to play audio CD's then it wont! the slot is for the CD Rom map only. Explain alittle and I'll help if I can? - remember for full navigation to work you need a GPS aerial connected and unit hooked up to ABS module under bonnet RH side of engine near radiator expansion tank. Regards Jason Quote
Guest V6 galaxy Posted March 17, 2003 Report Posted March 17, 2003 Thanks again jakey247i was trying to play a audio cd.So far i have got the RNS MFD,GPS aerial and all i need now is a 26 way plug yes??and a boot cd changer to play my audio cds.I have all the mapping cd,s for the eu but i neen one for the uk , do you have one for sale!!.My unit is a B version.Can you change the illumination from red to green on the RNS? as the one i have is marked VW and red. Thanks again jakey247 for all the help Quote
jakey247 Posted March 17, 2003 Report Posted March 17, 2003 V6 Galaxy - the standard red/orang illumination on the VW/Seat/Audi units can not be changed easily. Unlike some head units (e.g. Sony) its not a case of push a button hey presto green illumination. It can be done, but you need some parts and plus you have to open the unit up and go inside, never done it myself! but i have seen the green led/circuit boards for sale on German e.bay. As for softaware well as your unit is a B version it uses the Non DX version that is used on the latter C & D series units. Had it been a later one I may have been able to help you. This said I have seen the discs pop up on UK ebay a few times, you need to ask the seller though (in case its not in the description) if its the DX version, if it is, it will not work on the A & B series units. Regarding the 26 way plug, have you tried a UK VW dealer? if you have major hassles I have one I can probably spare for a small fee. Also are you still after the 9 way blue CD plug? Regards Jakey247 P.S. please keep the group updated on how good the unit is when you get it working! as I get the impression that I am one of only a very few fans of the MFD navi so far???? Quote
Guest V6 galaxy Posted March 21, 2003 Report Posted March 21, 2003 Hi jakey247 i have got the the 26 way plug from ebay germany,so i hope to have it running properly very soon.I got a cd changer as well.I will keep the group updated on how good the unit is or how bad ?????.If i need more info can i give you a shout??.Thank for all the help. PS The unit you have for sale is it marked VW,S or FORD and is it green or red ?? THANKS AGAIN FOR THE HELP Quote
jakey247 Posted March 21, 2003 Report Posted March 21, 2003 V6 Galaxy - Did you get a VW CD then? as I could not locate a ford lead easily. Anyway I ended up making my own patch lead up to use a Sony Minidisc player, which works fine. My unit and my spare sale one are both Ford series D units so have green illumination. The VW and Seat units have orange illumination, but to change this to green is possible but requires fiddling inside. When connecting the 26way plug you are connecting to pins 21 and 12 thats green/white and blue white (Rear ABS sensors) easiest point is on loom just by the ABS module, pull plug off and expose cables under tape of the loom. No problems just ask if you need info, if I can help I will! Quote
Guest V6 galaxy Posted March 22, 2003 Report Posted March 22, 2003 Hi jakey247I got a vw cd changer and lead .How much do you want for the MFD or do you want to do a deal???Hope to hear from you soon. Regards V6 galaxy Quote
jakey247 Posted March 22, 2003 Report Posted March 22, 2003 V6 Galaxy - What sort of deal had you in mind? Also I would prefer to talk shop via 1 to 1 e.mail as opposed to here??? Currently I am looking for a Galaxy Fridge, beige leather armrests, one 2003 Ghia Alloy wheel, Towbar. Regards Jakey 247 Quote
Guest kkamal Posted July 26, 2003 Report Posted July 26, 2003 jakey you said : When connecting the 26way plug you are connecting to pins 21 and 12 thats green/white and blue white (Rear ABS sensors) easiest point is on loom just by the ABS module, pull plug off and expose cables under tape of the loom. what pins do these connect to on the 26 way plug? where is the abs module? on the existing wiring i also have a single purple wire on the back of the radio connected to a yellow connector do you know what this is? and finally i also have a small square connector on the back, is this the exisiting cd changer plug? it's a ford 5000 system thanks a lot for your help :) Kenny Quote
