I am making a cable that goes from my car head deck on one end to female rca(white red) on the other. The connectors are 13 pin DIN.
After researching, I found out that a 10 KOhm resistor is required between pin 3 and pin 9 in order for the deck ro switch into correct AUX mode.
The wires on pin 3 and pin 9 are 24 guage stranded.
a)Should I put a bend in the resistor, or is it best to leave it straight and leave one cable longer.
b) Should I take the straight end of the resistor, stick it in the middle of the strands, then just twist everything tight then solder? Or should I twist the strands tight first, tin the tip, then solder the resistor in?
c) Can Shrink Wrap go over the entire resitor or should I leave some of the resistor exposed?
Thanks
