right after going back and forth from audio shops looking for audio iso connector, i gave in and went to halfords, picked one up for 14.00, also brought some fixing brackets to modify the facia plate. This were the fun began,no one had a clue about the oem audio system, weather the stereo had to have power to control ac/heating, so i had to find out(and had to get to the back stereo to take out the iso connector from the oem unit any way),
so first was to take out the two screws which holds the oem unit(this is inside the cubby hole area)
secondly i had to lift the top cover(the bit with hazard light)this just lifts up(thanks faddy for your help bud..lol)
then had to remove the three screws which holds the stereo unit in place..
with a bit of tug and pull lolthe unit just slips out...
i took out the iso lead from behind the stereo,and pluged the other end of my stereo iso lead in(simples..lol), THE UNIT CAME TO LIFE
, SOOO i also tried the heating and the ac controls.....GREAT THEY WORK TOO...
, although there was no display on the oem unit of the heating controls,i could attach(piggyback)of the iso connector and add another lead but since im not too fussed about the display,i didnt bother, so guys if you are trying to to connect an iso lead, my founding is that the heating/ac still function(but the display does not)..although this can be easily over come(if your bothered..lol)the oem stereo however has does not function at all.
now to start fabricating the fasia B)
