Title: wiring a sony x-plod mp40 cd player into me mk2
Post by: samjac68 on 13 July 2006, 22:24

hi all :laugh:

just wondering, bought a new head unit and want someone to confirm the wiring for me before i blow it up :laugh:

what i reckon is:

cd      -       car
red           red
black       brown
then the 2 speaker connectors to the audio out rear l/r
arial to arial

any others, theres a grey wire and a green wire behind the crappy ford tape player?

cheers

sam :smiley:

Be aware that the red from the car is a permanent live and that there is NO switched/Ignition wire.
You need to run a seperate wire from the ignition switch or from the fuse box (not sure where on the fuse box though). You can conect the red and yellow from the stereo together and connect these to the red from the car, you'll just have to remember to turn the stereo off every time.

damn, connected the speakers and theyre really quiet and crackly, either that or i turn the volume down so theyre barely hearable but no crackling

so uhm, ideas? they worked fine with the tape player :cry:
