Title: HiFi/Audio wiring loom
Post by SCDCarter on Oct 24^th, 2007, 7:17pm

Hi,

1995 Scorpio Exec 2.5TD fitted with a 2006 RDS Radio/Cassette which has the control mechanism for the Ford Multi CD Changer.

I have acquired the 6x CD Changer for the boot (a second hand unit). The unit arrived with a piece of the wiring loom that had been cut off but, has the plug for fitting into the unit.

My question is, given that this unit is an option for all the Scorpio's. Is the wiring for the CD Unit in place already?.

I do not want to start ripping the car and lining to bits if it is not there.

Hi,

Thanks for that. Depressing though the answer was. My next question would be. How do I go about acquiring the connecting wire/cable between the Head and the Unit. Is this a standard cable that I can get from a Ford Dealer?, Do I have to get one from a Scorpio that is being broken for parts or what.

Appreciate your help with this.

OK,

I have just bought a lead from an E-Bay Shop, Steve's Scorpios.

The cost of the lead was more than I paid for the CD Unit but, beggars can't be choosers.

Thanks for your help.
