Hi, I got my new stereo (this one ) today and jus need to know a few things before I attack the dreaded dashboard

1st thing, do I need a double din 'sleeve' ie: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DOUBLE-DIN-CAGE-mo...=item336123eba2

And is this the correct wiring harness for this model fiesta? http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_id/8353.html
Or this (I have this one from an old ford) http://productfinder.autoleads.co.uk/pro...7&pID=17719

Thanks

Shame I'm not round that way anytime soon as I have a spare connector

Your stereo should come with its own cage

You need a different fascia though that screws into the dash

I got the fascia but the stereo didn't come with a cage I'll have to buy one then. What connector is it Adam? 1st or 2nd one?

surely you two know all about this from my post the other day lol


or you could try mounting it on the dash board using prix stick and paper clips. why put it in the dash??

when i replaced my triple deck original radio, the connector was the second one you posted. my fez is from 2005

2nd I think

Cool cheers guys

Now I found out that the bleeding stereo has a spare wire that needs to be wired up to the handbrake so that the dvd player wont work unless the H-brake is on Anyway of by-passing this? I read that I could wire it to the ground wire on the headunit?

why not drive flat out with the hand brake on?? that way you can watch DVD's and also it makes daily traveling much more interesting!

Just wire it down to ground, anywhere on the cage or metal part of the car, thats all I did on mine
Not that I watched movies whilst driving, was just a ball ache to do

lol dan

cheers Adam I'll try that, cant be arsed f-ing about with the handbrake and all that
