Help - What are these...any ideas ??

[marksk]

Hi,

just bought a used autocom system for a friend and it has come with a jumble of wires and some extras I don't recognise.

Anyone able to tell me what these are and what they do;

Top photo looks like the "extra" box to plug in a Garmin GPS.

Top is a Bluetooth dongle.

Below is an Amplirider (mini amp to boost audio feed. It's made by a bloke in Canada, nice chap he is too. They work really well).

Dont think it is Mike, I think Red1 got it right. I have the same add on for my Autocom system and its a splitter so you can plug the audio in for the GPS as well as having a phone and music plugged in.

Looks exactly like my mates dongle thingy, one hole in the top with a little light and one to stick a pointy thing down and press a button when pairing.

Could be as you say though (his is all black), I've only encountered Autocom's that have a jack socket for satnav feed in the main unit.

Right then chaps the top pic is our Part 1282 which is designed to run a phone and GPS connection. It is NOT a bluetooth dongle as they are supplied in a solid black box and do not have the two jack plug sockets.

The second pic I do not have a clue, I would say nothing to do with our systems as I have never seen anything like that since I have been working here

Indeed. The bottom pic is an early version of the Amplirider.

It is a 12v amplifier with 3 inputs and 1 output.
Very good for boosting volume and improving sound quality for MP3,Satnav etc.
