C D Player
« on: 17 January 2009, 17:04:20 »
Looking to fit an over the counter CD player, I got the relevant filler piece for when I remove the VX original, will I need to replace the wiring harness or is it a universal one?

Any advice

:)

its standard iso connectors on the omega's, the only thing you might need to do is swap the perm live with the ign live, as some stereos are wired the other way round from vaux.

Only ISO isn't necessarily standard any more...

Have today replaced mine with a double din JVC HU.

If you want to retain steering wheel control functionality the new HU will need the facility, not all have it, and you'll need one of these:

http://ice.dndservices.co.uk/shop_show_item.php/IID/344

You'll also need a patch lead to match the make of HU you are fitting,
PC99-JVC, PC99-SON, PC99-ALP and so on. The above link to Dave dnd's webpage explains it all.

I did indeed have to swap over the red and yellow wires as mentioned above, the harness adaptor has that facility so it's dead easy.

On the down side you do end up with an awful lot of cable to stow, especially if you go double din, achieved it ......just!!

Single din and fascia adaptor should will give you more room  :y :y

I had trouble shoving mine in - ended up merging two addon looms into one.

I have a MD head unit, DOPS005 display driver, ISO-Sony lead, CD changer lead, phonos from CD phonos to amp and an unused other adaptor for Traffic Master but missing some wiring.

Yes, i have used small bobble ended allen keys in the past, but its possible to damage/pull off the facia on mine this way, the keys are available from halfords for only a few quid.

Cheers, I'll by a pair.

Another question before I take out the old unit. Will there be a standard ISO Connection behind or am I in for a shock?

A facelift will have a 36way iso connector at back.  The top block of this connector (20 pins) isn't really defined in the standard, so nothing will be truely plug and play

The pinout varies with which HU is fitted.

If you are confident with electrical stuff, and know what you're doing, diy.  If you're not, probably a good idea to use expert.
