It'll be for the fone setup which would have been standard on the elite with that stereo from new.  From memory they run a small speaker in the passenger footwell, and would cut the stereo out when a call came in, maybe thats what the red plug loom does.

Theres only 2 connectors attached to the cage usually for the ccr600, which the car would have had originally.

My own experience has been, I bought a ccr800 bose/philips headunit from an elite, that plugged in the same as my original ccr600.

Top block runs cd changer, display, telematics, steering controls.

I think you may also need a specific display for the CCRT700 ??

the back off the ccr800 looks the same as the plugs i have in the dash now, if i got a ccr800 headunit and plugged it in would it work the rest of the bose system ive installed, speakers ,cd ,and amp?

The CCRT will need wiring mods, a replacement screen and a replacement CDC2

A CCR800 will fit in place of your CCR600, use the same screen and CDC2.

its probably a thick question but whats a cdc2? and will the ccr800 power all the bose amp and speakers and loom, because i got all that from the same car as the ccrt700

the ccr800 is for the bose setup ;)

cdc2 is the 6 disk changer in the boot.

isn't the changer different between the two head units - both cdc2's but different versions?

Yup, hence if he uses ccr800, he can reuse his original cdc2 from his ccr600 ;)

Aye, but his cdc2 that he did have on his old ccr600 is good :y
