Hi Folks,
recently picked up a 2009 200. I've pulled the stock radio out, looking at putting a Pioneer SPH-20DAB into it.
Various people have mentioned getting a Connects2 CTSRN007.2 to retain the steering wheel controls.
I spoke with Connects2 and they have been very responsive but said that they do not offer a compatible product.
Can anyone advise? Will it/won't it work? Pics included of the connections remaining in my car incase that helps!
I'm great with DIY but rubbish with electrics. The reply from the Connects2 team (which I haven't got my head around yet) is:
Looking at you vehicle it appears that the wiring harness has a wired ignition. As the vehicle harness has a wired ignition then this may mean that the vehicle you have may be different to any interface that we have. The older interface would have had a Wired ignition but this would have been for a different radio and this configuration would not work.
The later vehicle would have no wired ignition (only battery) and the radio would be maintained by the vehicles CAN-Bus system and also the steering controls would be done via CAN Bus. As there is a wired ignition on the vehicle harness there would be no ignition switch on for CAN so our interface would not get the signal to power up the radio. Also if this the case then the steering controls also would not work. It appears that your vehicle is a cross-over system in between the old system and the new system where both of our interface settings will not work.
And
If the Vehicle harness has a wired ignition where there is both a Permanent 12v and a switched / accessory 12v then our interface will not be compatible. Our interface is a CAN-Bus interface and is designed to generate the 12v ignition feed / accessory supplied to switch on the aftermarket radio, these type of radio systems will only have a permanent feed (and a Ground connection) on the power section of the ISO. With vehicles with the wire ignition our interface will not generate this 12v ignition feed / accessory supply required to power up the radio as this command will not be in the CAN-Bus data on the vehicle due to the vehicle / vehicle harness having a wired ignition so the radio will not switch on. Even if you wire a separate ignition the steering controls will still not work. This has been tested by other customers where they have tried this and the radio has powered up but the steering controls do not work.
TIA!
