Radio Wiring Loom

[gsxmax1]

Am looking to change my 6006 cd player for the "lower" spec 5000 cassette player to enable use of my ipod through the cassette plug in i have.

 

Tried to swap last weekend and it seems the wiring plug for the 6006 is different to the 5000 one.

 

Are these final parts of the loom radio unit specific?

 

Also there was a wire with insulation tape ending it in the main loom part. As I have the seat head rest multimedia pack that does not work (fuses have been checked), i believe power is required from the radio to allow the dvd to work. Any idea of wire colours for this feed?

 

Are there major differences between the mk1 and mk2 looms, as I have a Haynes manual which has a loom diagram?

 

any help gratefully received.

The wiring changed a lot between Mk1 and Mk2 so I would ditch the haynes for this! The multimedia pack indeed requires a feed from the radio, its purely a signal wire though to tell it when the radio has power - its used to ensure the multimedia system powers down and not on permanently.

 

The 6006 (as far as I'm aware) wasn't ever fitted to the galaxy so its been modified in the past to fit - it should be reasonably easy to retro back though as the speaker connection should still fit...

Got is sorted once all connectors out.

Initial look was connector was wrong shape, but was actually 2 connectors close together (duh).

 

5000 was straight fit in and works fine.
