USB no connect works!
hi,
I have been posted before about my bluetooth module that i got installed in dealear after I got my 2011 outlander SE but i can not find that post anymore. Anyway this is the deal:
after i got BT module installed in my car I noticed that I have USB on the screen and then USB NO CONNECT. I pulled the BT module out and noticed a "USB LOOKING PLUG" but unfortunatley it's a special USB plug. I decided to give it a try and I pulled it out and try to make the special USB cable for it. what I did is... I took a USB extension (male-female) and I striped the male part to make it fit in the special slot that the Bt module has. I finally got it done but nothing happened. It was the same USB NO CONNECT. I called the dealer and asked them for the special USB cable since they installed me the BT module and that guy told that I have to buy a USB kit wich is $150 US. and i told him that i need just the cable because i already have USB on the screen wich means it is already installed but he keept telling me I have to buy the kit wich includes the USB cable and the module. I did some research I found the USB kit online with $149 but I wasn't able to see whats included in the kit or how the cable looks like. after 2 weeks I decided to measure wich side of the regular USB has 5V and wich side of the BT has 5V.
I noticed that the + and - were switched and this is why the cable that I made didn't work.
I attached some pictures in case anyone else has USB NO CONNECT on the screen but no plug in the center console, you just need to strip down a USB extension cable and you are done!

Nice find!
Do you think any of these cables work on it?

Might save somebody from sending +/- 5V to the data +/- pins and destroying the unit. I am wondering if the dealer first needed to enable the BT module on the ECU feature list before the module would work in any way.

you need a male cable, like the first one on the list but i'm not sure if is the one(need more pictures). you can not destroy the unit because you don't have power on you USB drive. you might be able to destroy the USB drive but not the module, plus I did sent +/- to -/+ on my USB drive the first time I tried and nothing happened. I had an LED on my USB DRIVE an it didn't come on, that's how I decided to swich the wires, but I used a voltmeter first to see wich one is + on the BT module.
