Questions about wiring everything together

**Lucifer** · 08-21-2005, 08:25 AM

Hi, I finally got to the step of wiring everything together.
I have:
Morex 3688 (incl its 60W PSU)
K301 indash LCD touchscreen
Carnetix P1260
Mini-USB keyboard
(GPS USB not bought yet)

But before I do, I want some expert advice from you guys. Attached is my wiring as I think it should go. Some open issues though. The grounds for example, where do I connect to the car-chassis, where not (or do I connect straight to the battery?)
Also for the K301, I'm not planning on using the reverse or park, do I connect them to ground or leave them not connected. As for the remote connection on the K301 where to connect to on the VIA? it's for opening the screen when it receives a signal right?

Also where to put which fuse?

Everything looks good...I have one query though. The dlyon rom the Carnetix is only a small current signal, I'm not familiar with the touchscreen wiring in your setup...is that all the IGN wire is, or is it gonna draw a decent amount of power through it ??

As for grounds, they are all good as they are. You can connect the Carnetix to the chassis instead though if it saves you running a cable front to rear on the car.

As I said, I'm not famliar with the wiring on that screen so can't advise on that point..

Fuses, you need a fuse in the live to the Carnetix (can't remember the rating but it's in the manual). Same goes for the amp.
The Carnetix outputs are regulated so no need for fuses really as it's internally fused in case of a short I think.

Lucifer,

I would suggest you download the CNX-P1260 manual and take a look at the connection diagram. You need to move your fuse to the +12V battery (red) wire, not the ignition (yellow) wire.
