NAV and CDC-4 from burned C2S

[soV]

I have removed the DVD NAV player and CDC-4 player from my 06 997 C2S, which unfortunately burned almost beyond recognition (engine compartment and interieur).

As I have these 2 players sitting on my desk, I was looking for a wiring schedule to try to find out how to get power to both of them (to the correct pins), so that I can at least see if the basic operations on the players still work, and retrieve the CD's and DVD.

I have no original connectors or wires, just the two players.

The players look to have escaped unharmed, but it would be nice to check (and get my music back... ;-)

Anybody any ideas that could help?

I am quite unfamiliar to posting on renntech, but have read a lot of topics with great interest. Very nice how people are sharing their experiences.

Thanks a lot, Pete

Hi,

Sorry to see your car like this. I have

two wiring diagrams off a 996. Should

be real close to a 997. The first one is the

radio and the next one is the navigation. I

will attach one file here and the next file on the next reply.

Good luck. I am not a electrical engineer but this

should get you started.

Hi,

Here is the navigation.

Sorry, guys the 996 wiring is not even close to a 997.

997 series cars have easily 10 times more CAN (network) and CAN controllers - that all interact.

Apples and Oranges really.

Hi Loren,

I had no idea. Thnks for

the information.

That could be a real challenge. The 997 NAV and CDC-4 communicate with fiber optic cables (MOST network). Did you salvage those too?

On the DVD Player A1 is ground and A2 is power. You will need the fiber optic cables off B1 and B2 also.

On the CDC-4 A2 is ground and A1 is power. B! and B2 are fiber optic again.

With that said I have no idea if they will function onside of the car over the network or if they still need at least one network controller.

Let us know how you make out...

Hello Paul, Loren,

Thanks for your replies, I will attach 2 close up pictures of the backs of both the DVD and CDC-4.

At the time when I took these two items out of the car, I did not salvage any connectors or other wiring material.... :-(

Hello Loren, thank you for your reply.

Can you please clarify a little more on what is A1 or A2 in reference to the pins, for both CDC and DVD. I editted the picture in my previous post, "drawing" the numbers that I could see in the CDC. I see no numbers or references in the DVD pins?

Thanks so much, Pete

On the left is the CD Changer with 6 pins.

A1 = 1

A2 = 2

On the DVD Player - would be easier if you had the connector (as it is likely numbered).

A1 should be ground and chassis ground - so if you take an ohm meter there should be zero resistance between pin A1 and the chassis. If I had a first guess I would guess the top right pin in your pic is A1.

A2 should be the next pin in the A1.

On the DVD Player only A1, A2, and A5 are used. A3 and A4 are for diagnosis so they are not normally connected. And A6, A7, and A8 are not connected.

Hi Loren, thank you for the information, in the next 1/2 days I'll try to find out, and update you if I got any basics to work, Pete

Hi Loren, the CDC-4 was exactly as you described, and when applying 12v and ground to the pins, it released the CD's just like being hooked up in the car (at the same time I noticed a red light in optical connections lid up).

The DVD, I think, has passed away, I did for a second also see a red light pop up on the optical side, that was when I put ground to the top right pin, and power to the one below it. Nothing mechanical happened, and it did not release the DVD. Tried another 5different possibilities, and might have even fried it in the process.

I am happy I got my CD's back, and consider the DVD player to be lost.

Thanks again to all for your help, Pete
