I think the stereo you got was programmed for a different display type.
eg. one with fuel comp, vs one without.
the stereo's can be programmed by tech 2 or by pressing a sequence of buttons. Dave DND on here is your man for advice

pm on way, once you remove the black tape you should see if the wires are soldered or just twisted together, obviously when you put it back to normal soldering would be better, and using tape to stop any shorts.

Sounds like the permanent live and ignition live have been swapped round, which is the usual when fitting after market stereo's.
The black iso plug should be in 3 sections stuck together, the top row is the longest, containing the changer connections and the multi display wires, the middle row is for the speaker wires (runs to the amp on your car) and the bottom row is the power wires etc,
if all this is correct, then then swapping the wires back to where they should be will allow you to plug the std unit in.

yep that will be the amp, I have the exact stereo you need here, I had it decoded so it should fit straight in providing your connectors havent been butchered, you will need to take out the head unit and have a look to see that all 3 blocks are in tact. if so then its a straight fit.
I have the cage, stereo, and the 4 grub screws £22 posted if you are interested.

what model is the cd changer? if its a philips dc012 then the stereo you need is a SC804 (without display)
Also check that your car has the 2 subs in the rear shelf, the amp for them will be behind the rear inner wing beside the spare wheel (on saloon)
cheers

You may fnid the wiring for the fronts is already there behind the door panel, they were on my 97 V6 GLS, the rears however werent, so had to change the door loom. no big deal tho.

Sorry no idea on cost as my local place usually add on a few quid on top of everything out of greed.
All I know is when you refit the new one, you re-route the wire so that it doesnt get cooked by the manifold. having not physically done it I cant advise further, but It cant be impossible as plenty ppl on here do their own.

i wouldnt go by what ive said, my elite is a whole differnt ball game, it plays mind games.
for your own peace of mind and to save a major imbarassment of breaking down on a roundabout or something, change the sensor. not expensive.

in my opinion you cant get much better than the std ones, Ive tried a few makes in the past and none of them seem any better.
I cant remember the size of the rear door speakers off hand, something like 6.5 inch I think. 7.5 for the fronts

front doors = 1 large and 1 tweeter (each door)
Rear doors = 1x sligtly smaller speaker (each door)
Rear shelf = 2x sub speakers (optional)
your car should deffo have speakers in the rear doors at least.
have a look under your rear shelf inside the boot and see if you can find any wiring for the shelf speakers, some have some dont.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Blown fuse ?
« on: 17 January 2009, 17:09:45 »
do they work when you open the passenger front door? if so then it could be a duff door pin switch.
another test to see if the rear ones work is to open each pack door seperately, the corresponding light in the grab handle should light up.
if not, then I would re-check the fuses being carefull not to pull out the stereo one unless you have the code and know how to re-enter it.
cheers

depends how you want it sent, 1st class will be about 8 something, parcelfarce probably not much less.
If you take off the black cover at the back of the altenator you will see the regulator (black oval shape with 2 screws securing) thats probably the fault, on the other hand it could be the brushes so means a refurb kit needed.
