Title: Fitting MDI Kit in tandem with Bluetooth kit?? **solved**
Post by: jason_rmh on May 13, 2012, 07:05:27 am: I have fitted a 5n0 bluetooth kit and also want to fit the MDI kit.
I have the kufatec MDI fitting loom and a plug and play bluetooth loom.

What confuses me is that the kufatec kit appears to have a blanking plug on the quad lock connector and doesnt have the pins to connect to the rest of the loom.

Quadlock from car and Bluetooth kit looks like this:

Quadlock from Kufatec MDI kit looks like this:

Which order should these looms be connected?
Is there a way to remove the blue blanking plug? WOuld it make a difference if I did?
(You can see where I have tried to pull the blue blanking plug out)

eg.
HEAD UNIT -- > MDI LOOM -- > BLUETOOTH LOOM -- > CAR LOOM

Thanks
Jason

some MDI looms I have seen haven't had the wires for the Telephone

That's what prompted my question. The blanking plate will not allow the connections. The wires are there tho.
Will have a better look later and report back.

Works fine here.
