Hi all. 

So, not sure how to start this.

After our B&O tv died and was replaced by an LG OLED, a number of other item fail to work, as I have removed the brains.

Most have now been unlinked from each other and are being used as speakers for Alexa devices.

One plan that I have is to remove my defunct IR eye from the bathroom wall and replace it with an Alexa.  

My question, can anyone tell me what the wiring is for the eye? I would like to solder on new connections, a 3.5mm jack and power barrel, but I need to know which lead is which, and if this is even possible. As there is already cabling here, I would rather use it than run new ones.

Thank you.

Hi and welcome to the Forum! (EDIT: Just noticed you've actually been here a while anyway! Smile

I am not sure exactly what you are trying to achieve - the wiring to the IR eye is basically 5v supply (to allow the eye to function) and data (to control the B&O system to which it is connected).

But if it helps, here's the wiring of your eye: (click to enlarge)
