Help I Have No Radio

[mat]

hello picked up my galaxy today and it has a standard ford radio fitted that the previous owner has lost the code too

 

i have a lovely new alpine headunit so proceeded to the local radio shop today and picked up what i thought was the proper iso adapter

 

removed the original stereo today and the iso block i purchased has one of the right connectors but the other is completely different

 

i have uploaded some photos here

i thought the amp if fitted was behind the bottom panel below the radio at least on a mk2 -

thanks for the swift reply

 

a bit more googling has revealed it should be below the headunit , so i havent got an amp :(

If you scroll down a bit in the above link you can see what the ISO connectors for Galaxies look like ( depends on year)

 

I have a 1998 2.3 GLX and the previous owner had removed the original stereo. So I got mine without any but it seemed to have standard ISO connectors which fitted a kenwood replacement unit.

Found above which is much cheaper and has clear pictures of what they look like - so you can see if they will fit you car

 

Just an FYI - mine has only two plugs - one relates to providing power to the unit, the other connects the speakers.

You may have an additional connector if you have remote adjustment of the stereo on the steering wheel or a stalk
