Making replacement cable and plug

[Anthrax]

hello.

i want to build my own cable and plug for my v1 since i cant find my original one are there any things i need to know about?

i have a pin diagram which im not sure about so heres what i have already.

pin
1 - not used
2 - Data
3 - Ground
4 - 12+
5 - Mute
6 - Not used

so i connect pin 4 to 12v and 3 to ground using an internal fuse located in the plug.

is it possible to just take a plug from a telephone, cut one end off and connect pins 3 & 4 respectively? then plug it into the V1 and car so long as a fuse is present?

Thanks

Your diagram is correct.

Do you intend to use a power switch on your cord?If so then be sure to
connect the switch on GROUND wire,not 12+VDC and use 1A fuze

Since you are making your own power cord,it might be a good idea to add a remote mute button,too.Here is the diagram.Make sure you use 1/4W 5 or 10k resistor,if you do this.

sweet, cheers.

also what type of wire is used?

is it the same wire as found on a telephone?

Yeah, they're the same as telephone cords, its called rj-11 I believe. The stuff is pretty cheap from VR, it might just be cheaper to buy a new hardwire kit from VR or eBay.
