RX8030 radio harness

[OzKioti]

This post is relevant to my new RX8030 here in Australia, however I'm not sure whether this model has been released elsewhere. It has the 76hp Daedong turbocharged engine, and *I think* supercedes the earlier RX7620.

Anyway, mine is the cab version which has a factory-fitted radio, connected via a 12 way, 2 row Molex connector:

Interestingly, Molex call that the "receptacle", and the corresponding part which it fits into is called the "plug housing". (Seems A about T to me)

I wanted to replace the factory fitted radio with an aftermarket one which had a remote control, among other features. The problem was sourcing a matching "plug housing". It seems common Kioti plugs/receptacles are different from this setup, having typically 16 pins and a quite different format, so maybe it's the new format which Kioti is introducing on it's newer models.

I finally tracked down the bits I needed to make an adapter to go from the new radio to the existing "receptacle":


I had to buy more than I needed to comply with my supplier's minimum order quantity:


If this helps anyone in a similar situation, the part numbers are:
Plug Housing - Molex 39-01-3123
Contact (pin) - Molex 39-00-0040

When soldering the pins to the leads, be careful not to use excess solder which can cause the pins to not "home and lock" all the way in.

Cheers from Oz

Seems like there is no standard to a car, boat or tractor radio/music player interface. Even when they use the same connector the pin-out will differ. I even found the same manufacturer is not consistent between different models. I usually end up just chopping off the connector and splicing (crimp) the cable that comes with the radio/music player.
