Hi all, I'm looking for some help with wiring an ipod cable in my car. I've had for a few yrs a blitzsafe adapter that plays and chargers the ipod. I've had problems with it ever since getting it due to the design of the 8-pin mini din connection. It "had" a spring load plug that never stayed connected. I had to use electric tape to hold it together all this time.
To get an idea of what I started with: (link to blitzsafe model)
Blitzsafe - CHY / M-LINK1 V.1AL
Anyway, I cut the spring loaded connector off and picked up a 8-pin mini adapter extension cable. At this time I have the ipod playing with perfect sound thru the car using the following wiring.

The problem I still have is with the charging. The four wires not connected do not seem to do anything. I've been all over the internet, even contact blitzsafe, to gain access to wiring diagrams. So far, the sources that seem to help only indicate the content or image was removed. (hmmmm)
In the pics you will see:
- the ground connected
- red to red
- blue to blue
- purple to white
- green to orange
I connected them in this order and could hear the sound coming thru better with each connection (sound level, then all speakers)
I've tried a number of combinations with the remaining wires and nothing seems to make a difference. I put a voltage meter to the wires coming from the black line (from the ipod itself) and found all have a signal except the yellow.
Honestly, at this point, I could have the the wires I think that work incorrectly connected, but, that's why I reaching out to you all.
Also, I should note, I am not interested in picking up another blitzsafe specific ipod cable as it will only put me back where I was with the spring loaded mini din connector.
Thanks all.
