Hi evveryone
Time has come to upgrade speakers and amps. Want to keep my RB3 (european version of the RB1).
Anybody have (or know were to get) the factory "audio" wiring program for my specific truck ?
Wondering why the small plug on the radio is connected (and what it is used for) since the truck has no Bluetooth nor a CD-Changer ?
To my knowledge, the left and right (+) audio pins (commom audio ground) on this small plug on the radio (the 10 pin plug) is radio IN (and not radio uot) - right ?
I also figured out that the radio "only" send one "set" of "L+R" signals to the amp, allthough it actually has two "sets" of L+R (front and rear).
I'm planning to use as much of the factiry wiring as possible, so I already ordered some aftarmarket "amp-bypass-wiring" harness from Metra (70-6510, 70-6512 and 70-6514).
Maby one harness will do, but I need the full pinout from the radio to the remote new amp (to be placed under the center seat) and either 70-6510 nor 70-6514 offers that, but 70-6512 have.
Wiring diagrams, pinouts and comments to my project would be highly appriciated.
Kind regards, Klaus from Denmark in Europe.

Not sure if this can help but here is a link to all three years factory service manuals - @HemiLonestar seems to be very knowledgeable on this subject maybe he will post

Diagrams in the manual links she posted. To be honest I'm not a fan of the OEM 3rd gen head units. Best change I ever did was put an android unit in it's place.
 
@ Wifey: Thank you !
@ HemiLonestar: The RB3 headunit is an old one I agree, but it "fit" the rest of the truck and make the interior look "original".
I dont like some VISIBLE aftermarket headunit in my USA TRUCK
When I figure out what the small plug connected to the headunit is used for (plz advise if you know), I'll disconnect it, and plug in a eftermarked bluetooth unit that makes me able to stream from my ANDROID phone selecting "CD2 to CD10" on my headunit. I have this system in my RB3 equipped 2005 CE Viper and it works super (the small plug in the headunit in the Viper was factory NOT used/wired up)

Makes sense when wanting to keep it as stock as possible! Maybe the wiring diagram will show what that small plug is for.

Have you tried any YouTube videos? I'll continue to search the forum here for any information others may have posted so check back in - our time zones are slightly different hahahaha!

Same here since I have a parsitic short somewhere in the stereo system and I have the fuse pulled out to stop the short from draining the battery .. I think the short maybe where the wires from the cab into the drivers door is. I know the drivers speaker was sounding like crap , popping and static sound ... it may be the speaker itself .. One of these days ill take things apart again and see f I can find out .. Until then the sound of engine music is good for the soul orms that sole when impush the gas padal ..hahaha

Must be normal as we age hahahaha! I don't use my sounds in the daily either - just on a long trip. And never in the 10 especially the CD player wouldn't want a stuck CD in that changer hahahaha. And that's usually my luck with those contraptions

Do you lock your truck when parked in the garage?
That puts it to sleep otherwise it is chomping at the bit. Are we going now? Huh?......How about now? Are we? I'm ready to go are we going somewhere? Like a puppy.
Most modern era (error) vehicles are like that now. Some have 9 computers whirring away chewing up that battery. So getting them off Standby and putting them to sleep is very important.
My truck only lasts 2-3 weeks if not locked. Any longer than that I put a solar top up charger on it
 
To be fair the OEM sounds are not flash in the real early edition. Just the same as the older model Jeep
I have no CD stacker.
 
Were the handsfree bluetooth an option on the 2005 SRT10 CE ?
If so, mine don't have it, but the truck is probably pre-wired for it and therefore the small plug is there and connected to the radio ?

My 04 definitely no bluetooth, no nav, nothing. Very plain as it was assembled in late 03

Yes it was. There is a separate module required for the hands free feature. A full explanation is available in the 2005 FSM. The link above shows how to do it with factory parts after the fact.

So, it might actually be that the "main harness" is equipped with the basic wireing for the handsfree features (and therefore the small plug connection), but the HF modules (and what else was/is needed - like the appropiate mirror, microphone, etc) is not there ?
