I need a little bit of help. As both companies are located in England and booth produces audio control interfaces for the S2000, wich one is better?
In terms of long term reliability and functions?

 

Have connects2 apd062,was in the car when i bought it 13 yrs ago and still working

 

Also connects 2, also for donkeys

Iirc the mute never worked (might be an early car thing)

 

Just have a DAB plugged into mine only.

 

Was the same for my MY05 car.

 

Thank you Gentleman.

Regarding the MUTE funktion, it is simply a on-off switch in the S2000 controls in contrast to the rest of the switches.
I f you want Mute working, you need a simple relay circuit IF (!) the Mute Control on the Head unit gets triggerd if it gets connected to ground. A mini 4 P Relais is all you need.
The wiring is:
Mute switch - Relay Coil - Ground.
Mute input at the Radio - Relay switch - Ground.

Study the circuit diagramms and ask the manufacturer of the head unit how mute works. Then just Solder, wire and hack the Relay into the connecting loom wich cames with the Interface.
Best of all: It is hidden. No need for good looks.

 

Looks like this:
Little black cube: Relay. Green: Mute switch at the dashboard and mute contact at the Head unit. Yellow-Black: Ground.
Again, study the circiut diagramms and ask how the mute works at the head unit in your car! Dont blame me if it smells bad after you press the button!
Hope that helps.

 

Connects 2 here, never really missed the mute function except when on the phone, newer head unit just seems to pause music when phone is active.
