Anyone have the pinouts of the Audi Phatbox cable?
« on: August 19, 2005, 11:18:24 pm »
I am looking for the pinouts that connect to the 13pin plug in the car. And the pinouts for the one on the Phatbox side.

Not sure if the VW and Audi pinouts are the same but the VW ones can be found here, if that helps.

I am in the process of making a custom cable to accomodate sat radio in addition to the Audi Phatbox. Here are some links:

This place has the male and female 13-pin DINs (very decent prices):

I just made a custom cable to allow my RNS-E navigation with the OEM Sirius Satellite Audi Tuner and my Phatbox without a toggle switch!

I ordered those parts to make a 13pin DIN but once I got them. The conncector on the DIN so that the wires can connect are very, very small!

So I ventured out and came upon a 13pin DIN from Kenwood that had exactly what I wanted! It was 13 pin DIN male on one side & a 13 pin DIN female on the other. Once I got it I striped the outer jacket off the center and found the correct pins that I needed.

You can shoot me an email and we'll exchange numbers if you would like more info on this cable and what I did.

I'm pretty good with a soldering iron, so I'm going to go the hard way. BTW, how did you determine which wires were which? Are the negative (minus) audio lines the same as neutral gound (i.e. chassis)?

Nice work!
