    Mbus wiring help

    Hi all,

    I have a CM5808 and wanted to do a little tinkering with the mbus plug. For the life of me I can’t find the wiring schematic anywhere. If any of you happen to know what it is or have a pic, could you please share?

    thanks a bunch!​

    Guessing no one knows? I got the Bentley manual, and still no dice.

      it's proprietary to alpine. they didn't release schematics to bmw. i'm pretty sure they are out there though if you do a search. there's a few threads on adding bluetooth and external inputs on the board, you may find what you want there.

      edit : pick up an etm to trace electrical here : http://wedophones.com/Manuals/BMW/
      hopefully that helps. save a copy now as the resource could vanish any day.

        Thank you. I do have that PDF, was the first place I looked, then went down the rabbit hole of the repair manuals. I know most people rather just yank out the radio, but I want to keep the radio and still use the tape deck.

          try a search for adding bluetooth or the extra input. there used to be a few pretty in depth threads on it.

            I have found quite a few in depth threads, just no dice on the wiring.
