2000 Jaguar S-Type Premium Replacement

[DittoGlen]

Has anyone replaced their premium head unit and got all 8 speakers working? (center and sub's working)
Can someone tell me the function of each wire in FC74? Which ones are the remote on wires?

I'm told this is basically a Ford setup, will any of the Ford OEM/ROEM interface units work for me?

Any comments from someone who's been down this road before me would be appreciated, thanks.

Your car does not use Ford wiring.

Consider this

and then you can manually wire in your adapters

you need a differential adapter also

I don't see the purpose of the SOEM-4 unit, it does't explain its technical purpose.
I'm guessing it converts the 12v remote on to 5v remote on (assuming these amps require 5v)
This can be done with either a simple resistor (6k comes to mind) or a 7805 transistor and a couple of caps.

I don't want to manually wire anything (except connecting the adapters to the new units harnesses), I'm looking for plug-and-play.
I'm realizing there is no adapter anywhere for FC74.
I'm thinking about desoldering an FC74 receptacle from another radio for use in constructing an adapter harness.
I've since received a better schematic of the system, and am confident that FC74-3 is the Sub Amp remote on, and FC74-7 is the Center Amp remote on.

differential converter.

If I were you I would buy the tech sheet

That kind of logic is incredible, buy a sheet of paper that describes a different product?
