i'd like to know how you lost that as it is fixed into the cd player
unless you meant the 2 wire plug for the illumination of course

the wire with the blue plug is on the cd player but it doesnt fit into the rear of the head unit, im sure there was another lead coming out the rear of the head unit that plugged into the rear of the cd player or onto the blue plug?, i have the illumination wire there still just no way of connecting the cd player to the head unit

ill have to post some pictures up to show what i mean.

the blue plug is all you need it must plug in and it plugs into the middle of the row of mini iso connections on the rear of the h/u
you have everything you need so you must be plugging it in wrong

there isnt anywhere on the rear of the headunit for the blue plug.

if you hold the head unit so the rear of it is facing you i have 1 socket for the ariel on the left and on the right i have 2 large sockets.
1 for the power
1 for the speakers
1 which is larger than the blue plug so it doesnt fit

im not trying to connect a changer.
only trying to replace the broken single cd player with another one.


i removed the original one about 6mths ago but its been binned.
i just dont understand whats gone wrong.

the original one wouldnt play any cd's and now this one cant connect, im sure there is something missing as there was one fitted to it previously


thanks for your help so far, its appreciated
