I have it all wired up except the amp turn on. On the vehicle harness the amp turn on is blue and white. I'm not sure what it is for my headunit but here's the diagram. Looking at it, I think it's the orange and black. The words AMP. CONT throws me off.
Can someone verify?

"cont" = "control"
Which would be the same as turn on I'm guessing.
Yes, while the antenna control wire supplies also 500 mA to power an antenna amplifier/booster, the amp control wire should only carry a signal used to turn the audio amplifier on (voltage present) or off (voltage absent) and couldn't be used to supply the full power to the amplifier.
Hi
Im just wondering if this worked. I also bought the same joying unit. While the harness asked for amp on blue /white wire to be connected to the head unit, the head unit blue/white was labeled as BRAKE.
Did the orange black "amp-cont" connect to the blue/white harness work for this?
Thanks
how did you know which one on the vehicle was the amp wire?
I'm having this same issue with a Jeep Wrangler with the Alpine system.
and how do you connect that AMP wire to the gray harness thing?
Hi all
Do you know what to short wire so as to fool the unit think it is the hand brake and not to interrupt the video/av when in motion?
Thanks

Hi all,
After reading some of the posts regarding headphone adapters for the XDA II (M1000 in my case) I was deciding whether to buy one of them or try to make my own up. My soldering skills are somewhat lacking but I thought I'd go for the latter.
I had three choices:
1) Buy some ear/headphones, take off the phone plug and solder that into the answer/hang up/microphone bit. Would work but would be stuck with that pair of earphone/headphones.
2) Buy a female phone connector, chop off the earphones on the supplied hands free and solder them onto that. Excellent solution for cheep (79p in Maplin!). Looks a little ugly tho cuz of the mahoosive gap around the cable going into the sheath of the socket.
3) Buy a headphone extension lead, chop it off near the female connector end and then solder this onto the PCB of the answer/hang up/microphone bit. This required better soldering skills than I currently have so that'll have to wait until my mate is able to do it for me! Will look better as the connector will be sealed tight to the cable going into it.
So, I lumped for option 2. And I must say it works flawlessly. I also have the advantage now of being able to connect any pair of head/earphones into it or even connecting it into my Hi-Fi/Car stereo/portable speakers depending on what I need!
Couple of pics are below...

I wanted to reduce the cable clutter on my nightstand and replace the computer speakers I'd been using. Thought about buying a bluetooth speaker, but what I wanted was a bit more than I could afford. I also had a decent set of bookshelf speakers wasting away in the garage.
I bought a Logitech Wireless Speaker Adapter: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Wire...1T5S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333572885&sr=8-1
and a small class T amp to power the speakers: http://www.amazon.com/Lepai-Tripath...6OTI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333572949&sr=8-1
Works flawlessly and I'm really pleased with the sound.
Hmmm pretty neat idea. After looking over the site for awhile, I might get the Lepai LP-168HA mini-amp which has a built in usb port for a BT usb dongle. That way I don't have to worry about two separate units. (*** I can't verify if it'll work though.***)

What's the pointed of having the amp. Could someone clarify?

That amp looks pretty cool. it looks like you can plug a usb stick with mp3's or cell phoneon it. not sure a bt dongle would work. I went for the cheap one...
The amps is so you can use bookshelf speakers rather than having to use a receiver. you could just use computer speakers, but the set of speakers wasting away in my garage where far better.
The USB port is a very nice option, not sure why it wouldn't work to charge the phone.
Hello again! So you might know by now I am always in the market for power supplies that will trigger fast charge on a Nexus 6P, Google Pixel or Pixel 2 device! Well I found this cigarette lighter adaptor from Bestek that supplies more than 2.4Amp to the USB port plus has 2 additional cigarette lighter female sockets for more connections!
There are some better pictures on ebay than I could possibly take, but found it for a much lower price on Amazon if you are interested in snagging one of these.
I just upgraded to a Pixel 2XL and was very interested in how well it can charge my new device. I was unaware that the Pixel 2XL actually kicks into charge overdrive when you turn off the screen. So it took a while to capture this image showing it supplying 2.7 Amps!

Add to this, the capability of supplying almost 5 Amps total, and being able to switch each side off and on independently! You have a 12V cigarette lighter socket and USB port per side! Plus you have a display telling you how much current is being used! You can't beat this for the price!
Hi guys,
I've got an XTRONS TE706PL. Unfortunately I've accidentally damaged one of its proprietary connectors namely the one connecting 2 USB ports and all 6 individual wires have fallen out of the connector.
Could anyone with the same unit kindly take a picture or two of the connector showing all wires so that I may rewire it myself? I've had a look around the internet, but unfortunately the pictures are too low in resolution to be able to tell.
Thanks in advance

Thank you very much. I had contacted XTRONS then and they were kind enough to send me a replacement cable free of charge. I was planning on updating this Thread and posting pictures of the new cable to help anyone else, but you have done that now. :good:
Ok, so I’ve had this unit for maybe a year or so but contacted wondefoo because I found that my car battery was draining from constant power to the head unit. It’s difficult with the language barrier, but they told me to cut the red cable (this is my photo with their markup).

I cut it, the unit doesn’t power up now. They said it was the canbus so I ordered another one of those…that hasn’t fixed it.
I’m not great at this stuff but any assistance would be appreciated.
They sent me this today. Neither of them look like my wiring loom and and it’s really grainy…I’m confused.
Check that (+12 always) and (acc) are actually correct in your head unit harness. They are likely swapped and incorrect.
Do you use canbus interface.
Also, details of headunit post Android system unit including mcu version.
Thanks for your response.
I asked a bunch of questions to the seller and they just said they’re going to send a new harness - I wonder if they can see that the one I got is not correct…
I’m using a canbus interface.
I don’t have the pin out for the canbus interface or the head unit so I can’t tell which wire is supposed to be where.
It’s running android 10. Seller: Wondefoo (AliExpress).
I’ll grab the version shortly.
