Punto Mk1 stereo change

[punto_96]

Hi everyone,

I have a 1996 Punto Mk1 and want to change from the tape player thats in there now to the Sony CDXF7500 cd/mp3 player (without cd changer).

Will I need to buy a wiring adaptor or a fascia? Will it be easy to install or should I get it fitted by someone who knows what they're doing (I don't)?

Thanks

Changing a stereo in a MK1 is easy, I just removed my tape player and connected my cd player to the standard ISO wiring, pluged in my aerial and slid my CD player in.

Really is a simple job.

some after marker have the 2 power cables diffrent way to fiat, so its on when ignition is off and you lose all the memory settings best ask where you buy it from

My Mk1's ISO power connector (which had to be hacked off as my stereo didn't have an ISO plug ) had an always-on power supply, the ignition doesn't affect the stereo at all. Was this standard or has mine been previously bodged?

I believe all MK1 Punto's wiring allows the stereo to work with the ignition off.
I would prefer it to go off when I turn the ignition off, but it only takes an exrta second to turn the stereo off so ce la vie.
