How to connect cables
The Alpine ILX-007 does not have a dedicated GPS antenna so I didn't reuse the GPS Fakra-C cable (blue connector) of the RNS-E. And so far the GPS chip of the iPhone has done the job perfectly.
The dual amplified antenna adapter connects to the dual Fakra antenna cable of the car. Then you join the loose blue lead of the antenna (to power it) to the ISO connector of the SRWH-AUD3-HILO harness, just in front of the corresponding blue lead already there (vehicle's power antenna). Well shown at 08:47 in this Enfig video.
There are 3 loose wires on the SRWH-AUD3-HILO harness and also 3 loose wires on the PNP Alpine cable. How to connect them:
- The REVERSE orange/white lead of the PNP Alpine cable goes on the REVERSE violet/white lead of the main harness. This if you want to add a reverse camera on the back of your car. You can buy an expensive one from Alpine, or an incredibly cheap version on eBay, that almost disappears into the number plate light and fits there without drilling.
- The PARKING BRAKE yellow/blue lead of the PNP Alpine cable goes on the PARKING BRAKE green lead of the main harness *OR* if you prefer, use the parking brake switch bypass instead. just connect the parking break lead of the Alpine to a ground lead instead. It works, no need for a so-called "parking brake switch bypass". Save your money!
- Let the VSS (Vehicle Speed Sense) pink lead from the main harness loose, it is useless in this setup.
- Connect the "+AMP ON" orange lead of Enfig PNP-ALP007 (it's blue/white on the original cable provided by Alpine, if you use this one) to the labelled "AMP ON" blue lead of the SRWH-AUD3-HILO harness if you have Bose. If you don't have a Bose amp, let it loose and keep the "AMP ON" blue lead connected to the "REMOTE ON" blue/black lead that came already connected together on the harness.
