(T) Connecting a head unit... Help?

i dont knw how to connect my sony head unit to my cinq 1.1.... halfords dont have an adapter that they knw of, any help peeps cheers....

Does it need an adaptor?

Cheers

PD

well the wiring on the car has 2 ends and my head unit wire has 1 and they dont fit lol so i was thinkin i did.... unless there isnt such an adapter...and i just have to cut and connect the wires in a certain way.

is the wire on the head unit "plugged in" to the head unit? if so then this is where your two ends might go

The car has ISO connectors, which it should. The Sony should also. Is this a new head unit, or one from another car?

Cheers

PD

its from my old 106.... and i bought it second hand so i think i might be missing a wire

You might need a Peugeot/ISO connector.

hmm the 2 socket in your called a ISO, so you need an iso adaptor for your head unit ..

Badically what make is your head unit ?? go to halfords and ask a iso adaptor for that head unit, they should have one, if it is a common make!

Odds are you'll need an ISO to Fiat adapter if the HU has an ISO adaptor on the back (IIRC Sony, Kenwood, Alpine and a few others dont), to connect the HU to the car harness. Ive got one doing nothing sat in my garage if you need one.

Hi mate, hope im not too late to help. Im a vehicle audio/accessory fitter, so i can help you here.

The stereo should have a single plug going into the back of it, from that you should have several wires going to one plug and several wires going to the other (these plug into the car loom). One plug is the power block (usually has red and yellow wires attached), and the other is the speaker block, usually eight wires. These two blocks are called iso connectors. unless you are fitting any other bits like a subwoofer or amp, you can ignore any loose wires.

Next, you should have:

1) If the car is standard, two plugs in the dash that will not plug into the iso connectors attached to the stereo.

2) Several wires hanging out in all directions and various bullet/spade connectors everywhere.

Hopefully its the first issue so all you need is a loom that acts as an adapter to convert the car plugs to the iso plugs, i think for the cinq. its a PC2-45-4, made by Autoleads.

The plugs on the left will match the car plugs and the stereo loom will plug onto the right handside of the loom.
You can definately buy these from Halfords for about 15-20quid. Ive also seen them on ebay.

Actually...just found this.....
