I NEED HELP MCS2000 Dual Head Setup

Post by NE2WAY »

I am trying to install a dual head 100-Watt MCS2000 Radio into a customers vehicle.

The Dual Head Cable has the connector for the front and rear control heads, and the radio. The fourth wire coming out of the cable which goes to the accessory connector has been cut.

There are 3 wire coming out of the cut piece a Green, Yellow, and Brown.

I have search all over and can not find out which pin these wires go to.

Motorola has no idea either as their solution was buy a new cable, but since they are no longer in production that was not a viable option.

Can anyone provide me with any help? If you have one of these radios it would be as simple as popping the cover off the accessory connector and just telling me which wire goes to which pin.

Thank you in advance for any knowledge you guy and gals can offer.

It definately has somethign to do with the rear speaker. I noticed this as I forgot to plug that in our new install and had audio in the front but none in the rear. Ours also has the red ignition wire off that plug.

NE2WAY,

I checked our bench cable and it says,
Green to pin 10 on DB25 Analog Ground
Brown to pin 11 on DB25 Filtered Audio Output
Yellow to pin 14 on DB25 SWB+
