Title: F900bt installed! 1 question about handbrake cable location
Post by: DanoGTI on April 01, 2010, 06:15:24 pm
As topic really - successful installation of F900bt (Pioneer), however a few of the functions are greyed out because I haven't fitted the handbrake cable.

Question is this - where/how do I access the handbrake cable on my MK5 Golf?

Thanks in advance,

Dan  :happy2:

There isn't a handbrake signal in the Golf V just a signal into the canbus

Ahh righto - so I'm guessing that the handbrake cable goes into my canbus adapter.... no instruction manual with the canbus, so I'm kinda guessing - hence my not connecting it just yet!! LOL!!

Any ideas which colour it is?

It depends on the can bus adapter not many I have seen come with the handbrake signal.

What does the headunit expect the handbrake signal to be? to ground or positive?
