Wiring diagram for accessory plug needed.

Hi,

I want to plug in a D type external speaker into our Motorola T5419. I have tried making up a connection with a 2.5mm stereo (3 way) plug but the radio just transmitts. I'm guessing it needs a four way 2.5mm plug. Any ideas. I have 6 to wire up for our volunteer railway group. We only want to listen and do not need the microphone connection remotely connected.

I am looking for the same wiring diagram. The headset Moto sells is a single earpiece with microphone, so how does that end up being a stereo connection Neto? Just curious how, or is there also a full headset with microphone? ( I dont' know, just asking)

Would this be a 4 ring TRS connector? Sleeve = ground, then left, right, and the tip as the microphone??

I have a commercial motorola talkabout headset and the first thing I noticed was the connector is a three ring but 12 mm long instead of the usual 11 mm long. So basically, a standard 3 ring wont go in far enough. I don't have the wiring diagram though. Whatever wiring their using, its different from a standard cordless phone headset wiring.

Try first to plug the conector to the radio then turn on
This radios "reconizes" if it has an audio accesorie plugged to it. and need to plug first to turn on.
This audio accesories works with stereo plugs. So be sure that you are using the corrects terminals

I will check for the wiring for this earpices. as soon as I can.

Color code for factory wiring harness for 05 Hyundai Elantra

I found a wiring diagram for the 2005 Hyundai Elantra that might be helpful . According to the diagram, the color codes for the factory wiring harness are as follows:

Wire Color Function
Orange/Black 12V Constant
Yellow 12V Accessory
Black Ground
Blue/Black Power Antenna
Green/Orange Illumination
Brown/White Left Front Speaker (+)
Black/White Left Front Speaker (-)
Brown/Yellow Right Front Speaker (+)
Black/Yellow Right Front Speaker (-)
Brown/Red Left Rear Speaker (+)
Black/Red Left Rear Speaker (-)
Brown/White Right Rear Speaker (+)
Black/White Right Rear Speaker (-)
If you don't have a plug on your factory wiring harness, you can hardwire it by connecting each wire to its corresponding wire on your new stereo. You can use crimp caps or soldering to make the connections

. If you're not comfortable with hardwiring, you may want to consider purchasing an aftermarket wiring harness that clips onto the factory harness you removed off the rear of your factory radio during its removal. This will make it easier to connect your new stereo to your car's electrical system .Hyundai Radio Wiring Color Codes - Radio Codes Calculator

Motorola T5700 Talkabout Series

Hi,

It would seem that this is a problem with the contact/switch of your Motorola T5700. When a headset, ear piece or external speaker is plugged in, an internal switch transfers the connection from the speaker to the external. This is better illustrated in the image below.

525cab1.jpg

Initially, you can try an electronic contact cleaner. If that doesn't work, you may have to open the unit and manually scrape off any corrosion from the contacts/terminals or slightly bent it to improve contact.

Hope this be of some help/idea. Pls post back how things turn up or should you need addition al information.

Good luck and kind regards.
