I can confirm that you can use a Beolink Eye and modify the connections as described here:

Dealer quoted me 260$ for the original IR Eye. Now I have 260$ more in my pockets!

You are absolutelly right. I need in fact only the Jack connection. I received today my Beosystem 3. I have to contact the dealer in order to have the PIN code. I bought it at an Police auction for a very very very good price!

I wonder if anybody tried this connection on his Beosystem///

Well from how i understand it the eye is the same device but is wired differently for difference applications. (correct me if im wrong)

The BV7 beosystem 3's connection is a headphone jack as it only uses IR no contrast stuff is needed. When used with the Beolink passive I had a din connection to the same IR i assume for use with the buttons and IR.

I am not sure about the beosystem 3 it might be a different IR, A dealer should be able to get you the correct cable and confirm if you have the right IR.

Seanie,

Thanks for your fast reply. How it looks the wire configuration? IR in in the BeoSystem looks like a serial port!!!!

Hi there I used my eye from my Bellini passive as an external IR on my BV7/BS3 just needed a different wire configuration.

hi everyone,

Tomorrow I.m going to buy a used Beosystem 3. The unit come without the IR eye and the IR blaster. I wonder if it is possible to use an the IR eye from my Beolink active in this unit. Also, I checked and the Bs3 does not use the same DIN connection so I>m wondering how should I modify the connections for the BS3?

I called B&O dealer and it seems thet they are not selling IR blasters! Any ideea what I should buy in order to be compatible with the BS3?

Thanks in advance,

Kind regards....
