Hi, got a Beosound Century 2000 from 1992(ish) with CD and tape. Trying - and failing - to get it to link to a bluetooth transceiver.

The aux is a 7 pin DIN. I tried a 7 pin DIN > RCA female > bluetooth and that didn't work. Then I tried a 7 pin DIN > RCA male > bluetooth and that didn't work either.

The bluetooth gadget itself works fine, I tested it on something else.

Anyone had any success doing this? Any thoughts?

Try one of these. Two are for in and 2 are for out. You only need a 5-pin plug. The one that you have tried probably only allows for outcoming signals from the Century…..due to how the DIN plug is made.

The BS2000 Aux is for input only.  The following is cut from the Setup Guide:

<i>Auxiliary equipment</i>

<i>Connect your auxiliary equipment, if any, to the socket </i><i>marked AUX. The socket is for input connections only </i>

<i>and does not support Bang & Olufsen Datalink </i><i>operation.</i>

I can confirm that a proper 5 pin cable will work for input (only 3 pins are actually used for input).  As MM stated, if you get a 5 pin cable with 4 RCA leads (as shown above) you can test to find which 2 are input.

Output is not possible.
