Anyone here know any audio installers that would have access to clarions CeNet Pinout diagram? I have a theory that it has all of the pins of the Murano's sat connector from Jaak's website with two additional pins carrying a + and - voltage to power the remote units. My hope is to add to the Murano's audio connectivity options by using CeNet compatible equipment.

I thought the same thing, but don't have the pinout, nor any clarion CeNet devices to compare.

If it was compatible, that would be a lot of fun!!!

I've been searching for this ever since you posted Inichols, but I come up with zilch everytime. I'm beginning to think that Clarion doesn't want anybody else to have it.

 

[jaak]

Yeah, I searched everywhere too......

I have a feeling that they don't want people to know the pinout, but without the protocol the pinout won't do other manufacturers any good. I don't see why the pinout would be proprietary unless they don't want 3rd parties to make cables.

I would think that a car stereo repair shop would have access to the information. Does anyone know anyone at a shop that services Clarion gear.

Well...the CCA-519 Y adapter cable is like $80 at Crutchfield and it has 10 pins:

Have no idea if that is even remotely similar to the unit in the Z or MO. That is the limit of info I have been able to find. LOL

There is a service center locator on Clarions site:

Well, the PhatBox works, or should... I've been talking to a guy that just installed it in his G35. They're working on the code though, as he had to eject all his CD's for it to be recognised.......

Jaak, do you know if they were able to get text information with the phatbox, or just like a non text CD changer with CD number Track number? At one time Phatnoise was working with Clarion on a CeNET version of the Phatbox that would allow text information to CeNET devices, but it looks like this died or something as I can not find any other info on it.

I'm not sure, I'll ask. Unfortunately the G has a dinky little display, not the big one we have.... So even if it does, it would be limited.

If you really want a PhatBox, call them and ask them what they can do now and what they're working on. I know they've got different firmware loads, as there was discussion of trying the SAT emulation instead of the CD changer emulation on the G...
