Hi think you just need the standerd iso to ford addaptor lead, try flea bay about five quid.
i think the 9000 vnr is iso, square plug made up of two rectangular connectors side by side. send us a pick if you can.

OK, so its not an iso,
Looks like it maybe a trip to the FMD to source the connectors you need unless you can find a galaxy in a scrapy. finding out the actual connections shouldnt be to hard,
Ill have a look around and see what i can find out.

John,
the connectors fit straight into the socket on the back of the 9000 like this:
It isn't one big connector, it is the two connectors which are standard in the Scorpio. Speakers to the bottom and power connector to the top. You just need to put them in correctly!!
The CD changer should work too.
The only thing you wont have is the connector on the top right which holds the wires for speed sensor and mute as well as the stalk controls.
I got mine from a Mondeo in the scrapyard as they were fitted to most Mondeos or if your soldering is any good, you could just solder a wire directly onto the pins shown and connect to them. This radio was fitted to the Mondeos and not the Galaxy. Galaxies had the MFD double DIN unit; this is only a 1.8 DIN unit like the 7000 radio
Personally I never bothered with the remote radio controls as I dont think the interface modules on the Mondeo is the same as the Scorpio
Hope this helps
Baz
You will need the antenna with the proper plug on like this EBay item:

The yellow plug for the radio stalk will plug in to the VNR and work. If the old memory serves me correct it plugs in upside down onto the connectors above the aerial at the top.
