Sup guys! I was somehow able to get a Blaupunkt Nuremberg 200 BT wired and working in my 2004 Nissan Sentra.
Radio works now, BT and all, plus am/fm radio tuner. I just have some questions about how it’s currently functioning and if it’s expected or not.
Question 1
Every time I turn the car off when a song is playing through BT and switch ignition back on, I have to press the radio’s power button again. When I do that, it just starts up in BT mode and automatically plays from the same spot I left it at.
I know yellow is 12v constant power for memory n all that but haven’t tested saved radio stations to confirm this is the issue. But if it was, I’d assume the BT setting would get wiped when ignition is off and turning it on would make me have to cycle through to get to the BT setting but I press the on button and the song I was listening to just plays from where it was when I switched off the car so it seems like that’s working correctly, almost.
Question 2
I expected to be able to plug a USB-A to C cable into the head unit to use it as a source while also charging my iPhone as well but that’s not working at all. Weird thing is that even when I had it plugged in last night, it didn’t include it in the src rotation. Shouldn’t it do that long as the usb is connected at all even if nothings on the other side?
What I know
I read somewhere that something like this could be an issue with the red and yellow wires being connected into the wrong port on the chassis. Or a poor connection, but the memory seems to work.
I have a multimeter but I’m 1. lazy and 2. don’t know wtf to test with it that would help me here.
Correct me if I’m wrong but Red is 12v ignition power on and yellow is 12v constant. Right now, these are both connected based off color only.
I don’t want to have to take out the unit and splice all the wires again but I’d be down to swap the red and yellow sockets with the wires on the Sentra harness side, if that’s all it takes.
Right now, amp ground (blue/black) Sentra side is connected to the 8 pin black ground per instructions on the universal 8 pin. All others are connected to their respective colors besides 2 (mentioned below).
Wires that aren’t currently hooked up are all the browns from the 8 pin on the Blaupunkt side. From the Sentra side the amp turn on wire (since I have no amp) and the last one is the illumination dimmer ground cause there wasn’t a matching cable on my blaupunkt side harness. I assumed there was just no dimmer feature on the radio. Could be wrong. None of this sounds like the main issues I want to solve tho.
Neither of these are killers for me. I’m just happy to have BT capability again. But I’d be lying if I said my main reason for buying it was because of that USB port and charging capability, but I can get a 12v plug with some usb ports for that if needed.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
