It should work with my Jag setup as well. I'll try it in the next few days.

Hello Veff. Have you any book explaining the D2B system or any bibliography?

Thanks.

I have not found any books, there is some very basic info you can find with google, but it is rudimentary.

@ZWille,

I'm a bit confused by the question. The D2B bus runs on two fiber optic wires - for example in your second picture the cable with yellow label phone/voice...module. There is a third wire which is electrical called WakeUp - it is in cobbled together with other cables on each device - no really standard for it's location. You can download the electrical diagrams for your car and find it there.

The electrical connector for the CDC has only 3 pins - GND, 12V battery and the WakeUp signal. The 12V is in the middle.

Thanks, I talk about the connetor port inside the box (IO board, attachment) mounted at the back of cdc. There are the 17 pins you describe in out txt file.

I am searching for a USB-device intead of the cdc that I can connect to the 17 pins. Do you know something like Dension or Yatour.

Greetings
Kai

That is not a standard connector. I'm not aware of any other device you can connect to it, other than CDC.

Ah OK, that's a pity. But you have your own IO-board and a connection to a raspberry, isn't it? Can I buy such a board?
And would you help me to build a box like yours?

Greetings Kai

Hi Veffremov... new guy here looking for a solution for bluetooth. I have a 2007 x-type estate that has the big screen sat nav. It also has a phone and bluetooth module installed but these are not compatible with my smartphone (Samsung Galaxy J5-2016). Having read the reviews about you bluetooth kit and dongle, I would like to know if you could supply one to me and how much would it cost me, including post to the UK. Thanks for your help and keep up the great work. Cheers. Bob

Very nice! I would like to do this as well. Where did you get the D2B board? Can you share more details please? The Google Drive is gone.

Hi All,

I made a account here just for this thread.
I have a W210 Mercedes that uses the D2B system. As a software engineer and hobbyist, I've wanted for years to create my own module for audio purposes and this is the only thread I can find of anyone with wither the intent to do the same of coding information on the protocol. On google no results ever come up- whatever basic information that was previously available seems to be lost now. Installed in my vehicle is a Soundgate D2B to Alpine adapter but it does not perform as well as I'd like.

@veffremov if you're still around, I'd love to see any documentation you have available.

Thanks, Mike.
