5 - Gnd (Left most of the row of 5 looking at the mount or back of the
connector)
6 to the TX pin of the bluetooth module
9 to the RX pin of the bluetooth module
As I am a complete noob when it comes to electronics, can you help me with the following:
1. Which direction should I solder the diode (red end to db9 connector or to the BT module?)
2. Where do I solder the 5v 100mA voltage regulator (it has three pins and has a semi circular head, one flat surface and one curved, I assume this is important for polarity?)
3. Which type of wire should I use to solder the bits together.
thanks guys, I would have PMed you, but cant upload photos.

Ok try this.
remember you are looking (in my drawing) at the front of the DB9 (edit: that plugs into the EQ6 DB89 socket), just ensure you follow the pins.
There is more than one earth connection, just join them or use a small matrix board. and put this in a small jaycar UB5 box.
You only need general purpose small dia wire, no great current draw here.
hope this helps.
