Diy Radio Stalk Instilation

[rwilts]

Hi still loving my 2002 1.9tdi Zetec but find it frustrating reaching over to change volume etc...

 

Does anyone know if you can buy the radio control stick ( for 6000 ) and install it yourself?

 

Dont mind a bit of hard work but would prefer not to cock it up.

 

And no i couldnt afford to buy a Ghia,

I cant see why it cant be done! the only problems I can see are that the plugs on the loom are not there to accept the stalk? and IIRC the new stalk clips onto the existing control stalks mountings, without looking at the existing stalks and knowing wether or not they are able to mount the new stalk or will you have to change those as well? it could be an expensive addition if you have to start replaceing other parts to complete the job!

I looked on a pre face lifted model today in a breakers and the radio control stalk does indeed clip onto the existing stalks, not sure if its the same on the later models? as there were none their with remote stalks :lol:

ford do a kit (or used to) stalk looks like a sony controller it plugs into the rear of the stereo. ive got one kicking about someware so will try and get a part no of it . i had the kit in a transit working a 5000,6000,and 7000 unit. gary.

right the unit is called a DE1 stalk control module (95gp18a810ab, thats the number on the box and cost about

cool, sounds like the perfect answer,

 

 

does it stick to anywhere you want? ie the steering column?

 

can you confirm the functunality of it, volume and cd selection etc

yes im looking at it now (oher) seek/presets/disc/am,fm/vol,up/down and you get a little plate that you screw to the cowlings or wherever and then the stalk clips on.

the plug that fits to the radio is a 6 pin plug.

the plug is yellow and fits between the power and the speakers plug.
