CD70 AUX IN Modification Guide

GENERAL

STEP 1

Update your CD70 to latest firmware, i.e. 10/10/2007.

Noted that firmware updates require an update disc, this disc is different from
language disc. Normally you could request this disc from dealer or borrow from a
friend; this is a one time job anyway. Skip this step if you already got 2007
firmware.

To upgrade the firmware, simply put the update CD to “NAVI” slot, and follow the
instructions. This step takes about 15 minutes.

STEP 2

Find a Tech2 or vaux-com or similar product to activate your aux-in in the

software.
A new "Aux" menu will be appeared just as shown in the very last picture of this
document after a successful activation.
Audio pass is not required for this process.

Use your tech2 or vaux-com or op-com, go to EHU menu, change Code index to
013, (Astra models please change it to 012).

STEP 3

Open your CD70 and solder some components (which are provided by this
auction) to the main board, this will require an AVERAGE soldering skill.

CD70 can be easily open with a small flat (to help open the panel), a T9 and a
T10 screwdriver.

Please check the schematic, and according to the schematic and placement
picture, solder the parts on to the board.

STEP 4:

Connect 3 wires to the rear connector of unit, and possibly you could buy a
3.5mm stereo socket.
Wires and socket are not included, can be easily sourced. e.g. Maplin, Ebay.
The wires and that socket will be used for audio signal input, e.g. from your
iphone.
