Hu-803 Aux Input


850Base

Recommended Posts

Hello, I just picked up a 2004 S60R with the HU-803 headunit. The unit looks good, but I have an MP3 player (which is NOT an iPod) that I want to hardwire to the unit. FM transmitters suck in central Mass (finding a quiet FM band around here is a lost cause).

Looking around I can see some options for the older, SC headunits but I need one for the HU series. Anyone had any luck with any adapters out there?

No NAV system. Are you talking about this one?. It looks promising. I see that 01-07 S60s are listed on the compatibility list, but it's vague on which head-units.

i got the usa spec 111 or something like that. i bought it from IPD.

they give you a great dvd on how to get the HU out and connect it. gotta watch the ground wire. finding good metal is more difficult than you think.

overall pretty easy install.

Awesome. Yea it looks like they're available all over the place, but none of them as low as the price on USA Spec's site. Did the DVD come directly from IPD or was it included with the USA Spec package? Might seem like a dumb question, I only ask because it doesn't seem to be listed on IPD's site anymore...

What did you end up using for ground?

the vid was made by ipd and its very good. if the prices are only a couple bucks diff the vid is worth buying ipds.

the ground is only 12ish inches and i never found a ground spot i was totally happy with. lots of plastic and the little metal around isn't a great ground. may want to add extension.

Good feedback, thank you very much. I wasn't expecting the answer to be so simple.

Hey, I got a USASpec PA!!-HON with adapter cable CBP VOL for my BD and am trying to do the install. The wires that plug in are no problem but one wire is identified as ACC+ (red) and the other is B+(yellow). Where do I connect those? The info sheet calls them 12" constant and switched leads. There is no information on which is which or where to connect them in my instruction book?! Help!

Thanks

Michael

To answer my own question, near as I can tell the red ACC+ goes to a yellow w/lavender stripe wire on pin 13 and the red B+ goes to the green w/brown wire on either pin 4 or 12...
