With CD changer and Bose you should be set. Im not sure about the Tooki. If its already spliced in the fiber loop, then yes. You can just remove the clip on the end of the fiber cable that goes to the tooki and plug it into the new module.

TheBruce

Yes you should see two lights in the back of the unit. One is power, the other is bluetooth.

Where did you tap the power? I tapped the aux power socket in the passenger footwell.

If you arent seeing the power lights you likely didn't press the metal clip down hard enough when tapping the power line. I did this the first time. You need to press the metal clip flush with the plastic housing.

Your phone will immediately find "CarKit" when its powered up.

Ya Im not seeing the lights. I tapped the same wires that the the previous owner tapped for the Tooki and NavTV OP modules; a brown wire and a red and green wire. I need to splice it better i guess. I will try in the morning. Thanks A lot.

Im not totally following this post. Let me see if we can confirm some details.

I did not have the factory Tel module installed on my PCM prior to installing the LaPower unit. Previously if I clicked the Tel menu it would just say "telephone module not present" or something like it. As soon as I added the LaPower unit the Tel menu became active and a new row in my PCM main screen was added showing my iPhone name and signal strength.

In conclusion, it just worked.

I dont understand the question/issue here. Have you installed the LaPower unit already?

I haven't tried but I assume you can add multiple bluetooth devices. The pairing is controlled by your Phone/Ipad, not the LaPower module. If you bring your iPad into the car and open up the bluetooth settings you will see "CarKit" and just need to add it.

I need help... So i decided to tap the wires the old fashioned way to make sure they are tapped, and i did it where the previous owner tapped the wires for the navtv/tooki.
I still dont see lights on the unit.

TheBruce

Did you solve the PSM, PASM errors? That sounds like a low battery. Same thing happened to me after I tested it too long.

Where did you tap the power? Send some pictures.

rednerrus

Ya I solved the PSM, PASM errors. I searched around and it turns out, this is normal after disconnecting the battery.

Now my PCM won't turn on at all. Did I **** up my wirings?!

This is where I tapped the power. The brown wire and the red/green wire on the left and right side of that white wire.

TheBruce

Yes, if the PCM isn't turning on you definitely ****ed up your wiring :-)

I suggest reversing your steps until the PCM powers up again. Remove the wires you tapped into the PCM power lines and disconnect the Lapower. If it works then you just crossed some wires when tapping it.

I tapped the aux power in the passenger footwell with the supplied quick taps and it worked fine. You just have to press the quick taps really hard.

Once you get the PCM working again I would try retapping the aux power with the clips provided.

rednerrus

I hope I didn't do any permanent damage to the main harness/electrical system.
While I was tryin to tap the PCM power lines i accidentally touched the 2 wires and I saw sparks. Hopefully that didn't fry something. I will try to reverse the steps and see how it goes.

TheBruce

Keep us posted. You can hold 148 on the PCM 2.1 keypad to reboot it.

Wayne Smith

Generally when you see sparks the sparks stop sparking before you get the wires separated ... due to a blown fuse. I'd start at the fuse box.

rednerrus

Anyone know which fuse WOULD be blown?
Im calling it a night and will work on it again tomorrow.

Hi Bruce, Thanks for your reply -I will try to rewrite my questions and conclusion:

Yes the LaPower is installed.

To begin with my setup was following: PCM 2.1 with single CD, TEL module under front passenger-seat, No CD-changer, bluetooth or other devices connected.

I then installed the LaPower unit, connecting all wires as subscribed. My iPhone connected fine with the LaPower, but iPhone didn´t show on the PCM -I could hear music ande transfer calls from iPhone to car speakers.
Becasue my iPhone didn´t show on PCM, I decided to disconnected the TEL-module, and make a wire loop with the fibre/optic cables from the TEL-module. Turned everything on again, and the iPhone now showed on the PCM with name and signal-strength as you described, BUT everytime I turn the car on, I have to confirm Phone-Modul not active on the PCM-screen!
Question: Do you think it will help to re-active or de-active TEL in PCM with coding??

This was not a question, but a conclusion:-) my iPad mini is already installed in the car, and the LaPower works great with multiple bluetooth devices connected:-)

Another question: When you receive or making a phone call in the car, which speakers are then active??
When I listen to music all speakers are active, but when I make or receive calls only the speaker at the passenger-footwell is active

My guys worked for two weeks to sort mine out, the Blu-Tooth phone connection works but that is all, with the limited information in the instructions they did their best ... even brought in an aftermarket audio expert. Still the interface isn't recognizing the other functions.

They currently think if I can find another type (one with six dip switches) they might get that one to work.

Maybe I'll just look into maybe getting the Porsche AUX kit... more on my saga as it happens.

Motor On! (oh, wait that is for my MINIs...)
