Anyone knows the electric part (not engine related) of audi 100, 200 ? This is a 1989 audi200q turbo.

We know the

but the dash and the rest of the car is a blackbox with many unknown wires.

Speedometer

I should find the connector that should go to the transmission speedo output (we already have the backup lights hooked up properly and working ;-)

I think I have a good chance to find the speedo-connector by feeding signal with a soundcard (and protection resistor) to get the speedo work.

I noticed that the transmission has a 3pin connector, but only 2 pins inside. If it's a reed-relay (like on a bicycle), as some SJM page claims, than 2 pins is enough. Why does the female connector have 3 pins and 3 wires than ?


Dark dash - no lights even if the headlight is on... but why ?

Anyone (g60) ? can you scan 2..3 pages that could help me find why the dash is not lit ? The left glovebox is down (LCD was mounted), this would be a good time to fix dashlight


Radio - installed

The MMC-card feature is fun. (It also has CD player, but I don't know why a car radio needs any moving part inside!)

There was no radio in the car, but there were standard connectors that fit the new radio. Doing some measurements on the conn before hooking up the new radio: One has to measure with the ground-ring as base (not the black wire that is at the ground position on the drawing). The radio works now (it can play mp3 from MMC-SD or USB-pendrive, or ... prolly not gonna be utilized ... CD).

When the radio is switched on, (eg. by putting on the face, or by the PWR button), the antenna at the back of the car is ejected. This is annoying when the radio is otherwise not needed (eg. when listening to music on MMC). The antenna goes back when unpowering.

This car has some mesh under the dash (as one expects in a car with full-extra equipment designed in the 1980's)


Some noise coming from the dash

Maybe it's still the heating (squirrel-) fan just at low-RPM ? I think this is gone now. Something around the AC-control changed it. Maybe setting AC to "off".
