Fitting Aftermarket Cd Player

[Guest BMcN]

Hi guys, I installed a JVC cd player to a 2003 Ford Galaxy as a favour to someone. After removing the old one and installing the cage and blanking plate I went to connect the leads via a ISO connector I got from a local car shop. The one that I had been given however did not fit (it did say it was for a Galaxy). I had a little surf on the internet I noticed that on www.caraudiodirect.co.uk they had two diffrent sections for the Ford galaxy, a 1995-2000 and a 2000 onwards, however there were no fittings in the 2000 section, so what do I do?

 

If I remember correctly there is 2 slim rectangular shape connectors, one has 3 rasied corners and the other has just one raised corner. (By raised I mean a sticky up bit, rubbish description I know....)

 

Thanks, Bryan.

Sounds (no pun intended) as if you need to go to a better car audio place with the right leads. Don't forget that you will need the special aerial lead adaptor to power the window-mounted aerial amplifier.

Small town so its the only one local. Would anyone be kind enough to link me to a website that stocks these?

 

Thanks for your reply.

Well.... not really. I still cannot find the one I am looking for. Anyone else?

Where in the UK are you?

[Guest BMcN]

Stranraer, South West Scotland.... Has no-one had this problem then?

[Ivor_E_Tower]

Not in such a "remote" place! Closest places I can think of that may be of help to you are in Aberdeen (!) I don't know the west coast of Scotland too well, no wonder you'd prefer internet or mail order. Have you got a Halfords near you?

[Guest BMcN]

Closest Halfords is about an hour away, in Ayr. :huh: Aberdeen is over 4 hours drive.

 

Really has to be off the internet or nothing.

 

Can you shed any light on the matter if the ISO connecter I'm looking for actually exsists? When I emailed Car Audio Direct they didn't seem too sure even though they have a section for 2000> Galaxy's (albeit with nothing in it).

Try "Edworthys" or "add a cd changer" - type words into Google. I've corresponded with them over a cunning plan to do something to my Alhambra and they've always replied by return and seem to be alive with adaptors of one sort or another
