4.9.2 Possible Accessories
Electric Antenna- Activation line, pin B2
(Switched Accessory +) is switched: 0 Volts when
the radio is switched off and +12 Volts when the
radio is switched on.
Auxiliary Input- Accepts a line-out from a
personal stereo or digital media player. This can
be supported by left channel pin C5 (+) and right
channel pin C11 (+) with a common ground, pin
C6, wired to a jack plug socket.
Audio Mute- There is a requirement under the
Health and Safety Machinery Directive to mute
the radio when machinery is in operation - this is
necessary to hear audible alarms and signals.
Pin B5 (C3-5 on the electrical schematic) on the
FAKRA interface should be used for this. In order
to avoid electrical issues due to leakage, and to
ensure connector compatibility, a connector
insert and a pre-crimped wire and terminal are
available as part of a wiring accessory kit, should
be used (Kit Part number KT6C1V-14A411-L*).
NOTE: When this line is pulled low (ground),
radio / CD sound is muted. However, there is no
wire present in the harness as this function is
normally communicated through the CAN bus.
Refer to: 4.14 Special Conversions (page 131).
(Adding Connectors, Terminals and Wiring)
After Market Hands Free Telephone Kit
(Non CAN-based)- Power should be supplied
via a fused battery line and activated by the
accessory line, pin A16. The mute line from the
phone is connected to Phone Transceiver Active,
pin B5. The audio output from the phone kit
should be fed into pins B1 (+) and B7 (–). The
phone audio is then amplified and diverted
through vehicle speakers.
Refer to: 4.14 Special Conversions (page 131).
Adding Connectors, Terminals and Wiring (for
Phone Transceiver Active / Speaker Terminals
and Wires).
After Market Audio / Navigation (Non
CAN-based)- Power should be supplied via a
fused battery line and activated by accessory
line, pin A16. Auxiliary input is connected as per
above.
NOTE: Note: Vehicle speed and reverse are
now CAN messages and supplied via the vehicle
multimedia bus, A9 (+) and A10 (-). There is no
hard wired Vehicle Speed Signal or reverse signal
available.
Additional Rear Speakers- Camper
vehicles, typically, are only equipped with
speakers in the front doors, in which case at
end-of-line the vehicle will be programmed for
just the front speakers and the fade function
disabled on the radios. If the radio is set for four
speakers, and those at the rear are absent, a
fault code will be flagged. The vehicle would need
reconfiguring at a Dealer once speakers are
installed. The radio will output 17W per channel
(left and right); a wire size with a CSA of 0.75 is
recommended.

4.14 Special Conversions
4.14.1 Vehicle Speed Output
(Signal)
At present, this information is only readily available
as a CAN message. However, on Diesel vehicles
it is possible to access a hard-wired output.
In the engine compartment there are three
connectors on the left hand side (viewed from
driving direction). On left hand drive vehicles, the
three connectors are covered with a plastic
shield that can be easily disassembled. On right
hand drive vehicles there is a special metal
security shield fixed with a shear bolt (part
number 6M5Y-12B539-A*). The vehicle speed
signal is available on pin K1 of the middle (brown)
connector, C2 – see Figure E84720 (Additional
Vehicle Signal / Features). This provides a square
wave-form (50% duty cycle) signal, where a
frequency of 138Hz equates to 100km/h.
Note:-
•A hard-wired vehicle speed signal is only
available on diesel engine vehicles.
•Vehicle speed is derived from one of two
sources, the wheel speed sensor (for vehicles
with ABS etc.) or the vehicle speed signal – in
both cases, these are un-calibrated signals.
According to transmission, drive-line and other
vehicle parameters that are set, the
Powertrain Control Module generates a CAN
message of vehicle speed for all vehicle types.
There is No hard-wired vehicle speed signal
on gasoline (petrol) vehicles.
•There is No automated shift transmission for
V4347/8 (there are no plans to introduce this
later in the program).
•VMT6 transmissions will not support fitment
of a vehicle speed sensor.

Connector Position for Vehicle Speed Signal in the Engine Compartment
In order to avoid electrical issues due to leakage,
and to ensure connector compatibility, a
pre-crimped wire and terminal, available as part
of a wiring accessory kit, should be used (kit part
number KT6C1V-14A411-J*). For further
information see 'Adding Connectors, Terminals
and Wiring' in this manual.

4.14.6 Ground Points

Van, Bus, Kombi Ground Points
CAUTIONS:
Only use the ground points indicated.
Using alternative points may affect
the vehicle integrity.
Make sure that all ground points are
tightened to the correct torque.
Ground wires should be brought back to the Ford
ground points provided, please refer to the
following figures. For very high current users, it is
recommended that the ground connection is
made directly to the ground point close to the
battery ground point.
