Smart only documented the 3 main connections for the Bosch Highline stereo.

Smart weren’t even aware of the pre-amplified outputs found at C1 to C6.
It was only because I was testing all of the connections for earthing, voltage or a signal that I found them.
A Lot Of Connections!
The main undocumented connection on the rear of the Bosch Highline is the vertical 10 pin connector. It must do something, it can’t be there for no reason can it? Wrong, you underestimate smart.
I managed (after 2 years of trying) to get an official pin-out diagram for the Highline stereo. After testing all of the connections with an oscilloscope and multimeter I got back in touch with Bosch. Mainly because their official pin-out diagram was wrong, very wrong.
