Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

The cheap BT module was perfectly good for music, but rubbish for handsfree calling, so only a partial success, and I've since replaced the headunit with a Sony.

I know I can run the positive cable back to the fuse box, but I'm lazy so want to avoid this if I can!

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

First ever post on PH, and I don't think I've seen a definitive answer to this, but I could be wrong! I've got a 987.2 Cayman with the bog standard CDR30 (no aux-in, no bluetooth), and I've bought a cheap BT adapter from China, which comes attached to a ready made wiring loom that looks like this: I like the idea, as I can easily rip it out if there's ever a need to claim for something on the warranty, however this is drawing power from the supply to the radio on pins 12 and 15 (highlighted in yellow). My question is: is this a switched supply? I know I can run the positive cable back to the fuse box, but I'm lazy so want to avoid this if I can! All suggestions welcome...

You might want to look at the canbus adapters from Connect2. That will turn the permanent live into an ignition switched live.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Their universal canbus adapter looks ideal, thanks!

POST 4Original post

Hi, did you get this sorted ? I’m in a similar position of wanting to stream music into my CDR30 but can’t figure out how best to do it without splicing wires (eg. As the A2D-CDR30 item suggests!). Any help would be be appreciated! I have an Aux on the CDR30, which I think is connected to a 3.5mm Jack in the centre cubby.

I got it working fine, using the ADP110 canbus adapter from Connects2. The cheap BT module was perfectly good for music, but rubbish for handsfree calling, so only a partial success, and I've since replaced the headunit with a Sony.
