I just bought the whole kit, changer, glovebox and extension lead from a Fiat main dealer for £145 including postage. The item is on ebaye item number 200050846992. He says £150 + £10 p&p or best offer. I offered £135 and it was accepted. You will have to hurry though he only has 4 left at time of writing.

Technical Stilo CD Changer
Just fitted it and to my surprise found the connector for the changer behind the glovebox so didn't need the extension lead so have a spare 1Mtr cable if anyone's interested. The changer worked fine straight away no code required even though it came with one.
Is your Stilo an Abarth, or does it have Connect Nav+ fitted?
Ah cool. Yeah, any Stilo with factory fitted CN+ should have the CDC cable pre-installed (found this out when we changed the loom in the Schumi for a factory loom with CN+).

Hi,
Can someone please help me. I have a stilo with the standard tape head and purchased a cd changer with glovebox adaptor but the cable from the back of the cd changr is about 4 inches to short. i went to fiat for an extension cable to breach the cap and they were useless to say the least.
I assume there is such a cable but where can i get it from? If the cable doesn't exist any suggestons to fix the problem?

Not sure if it'd work, but could you cut the cable and splice in a length of multicore cable?
People may want to advise against this, and if they do I'd trust them, I'm only throwing an idea in!

So you got the original cable? I found them to be massively too long! The changer has it's own cable coming out of it but you need a cable from the changer to the headunit.

Yeah i agree with rroope, how long is the cable supplied.
I'm sure the one i had was at least 24 inches.
Or is the way your routing the cable that is making it too short?

I didn't realise i needed to get a cable as well as the one at the back of the changer. i assumed it simply plugged into the back of the head unit. Well i know better noe. Cheers
