[marinabrid]

Hi all

Have just swopped got a mk2 after many years of a mk 1   now for sale on here,

this one has the factory sat nav unit  but i can't find the cd changer   its not in the compartment behind the rear seat  that i thought it would be    theres no wires in there either,  where the devil is it located ?    its a 2004 model with the slight facelift 

thanks all

Usually, unless it's got the 6006 in dash changer it's in the rearmost storage compartment/ glovebox (by the third row of seats on the offside).

nothing there !  i did some research on web and found a thread  that said some models that have the in car dvd for the rear passengers  a multimedia set    don't have a cd changer fitted.   wonder if someone could verify this.  seems very odd  not to fit a cd changer to a top of the range car.

I know that the later models that were DVD player equipped with the front headrest screens were fitted with a 6006 model in dash CD changer, but obviously with sat-nav, there's no room for this! So has yours got sat-nav and a DVD player, or just sat-nav? According to my Galaxy brochure the Blaupunkt factory fit sat-nav should have been equipped with the 6 disc changer in the rear glovebox, is it possible your Galaxy wasn't factory fitted with sat-nav and somebody has added it subsequently without fitting the changer?

yes it has factory fit blaupunkt sat nav with the ford booklet telling how to work it and the dvd screens in the headrests and the dvd control unit in the rear console    but there is no cd changer in the boot,  i found a wiring loom with a square multi plug  sitting there under under the compartment.   either it wasn't fitted  as the loom is tie wrapped down or someone has had it away with the changer.

At least that should make it easy to fit one if you want, [url=http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-VW-SHARAN-SEAT-ALHAMBRA-FORD-GALAXY-6-CD-CHANGER-/191074062485?pt=UK_Audio_TV_Electronics_In_Car_Entertainment_GPS_In_Car_Audio_Players_PP&hash=item2c7ce6d095]ebay[/url] usually has a few selling, the one I linked is actually new old stock, the only snag is it doesn't have the mounting brackets supplied with it. Also, if you were going to buy, make sure the connector in the vehicle is the right fit!

thanks   you been a great help,   we run a BB in Bridlington if ever you fancy a few days by the sea   discount for members !    the cd link  worked,  i found another on there   from an 2001 same model  that has the same square 12 pin fitting and it has two mounting arms   which i presume attach to the 2 screws that are fitted in the top of the storage box

I'll bear it in mind, thanks! Yes, the two metal mounting brackets attach to the sides of the unit and secure to the rear glovebox casing by means of the two screws, one in each bracket.
