Need R56 Radio connector photo

Could someone post a photo of the "C" connector for the R56 radio (location shown in photo) that shows the arrangement of the wires? My car is a 2009 Base. No Bluetooth or USB.

I'm wrestling with making AUX IN work for a replacement used radio. I need to locate the wires inn the proper pin position in the connector and none of the diagrams give me the info that I need. Thanks!!

Not sure what model year you are talking about, but this might be a good starting point:

If it's not the one you are after, I am pretty sure you'll find correct pin-out on that website.

Bless you Cobra!!! Just what I needed.

I've concluded that I can't make the parts yard radio that I have work with Aux in as it requires connections that my R56 doesn't have and will need another parts yard radio that simply has Aux with no USB or Phone (my original radio was Aux only.

The problem (which you just solved) is that I switched the wires around on the "C" plug and didn't remember the original configuration.
