is this to fit a changer or just a single cd head unit?

[RFChris]

all you need is a standard ISO block. Then just wire it in. Simple as. Just make sure you get a constant feed and an ignition fed feed.

urm...that was about as english as i could make it! You can do it by simply getting a live feed and an earth but the stereo will always be on (ie not in relation to the key being in the ignition) and it's not the safest option. If you're really struggling you might wanna try having halfords fit it or something along those lines.

put the orange wire to the flux capacitor,at 88mph u will get0.000654.00 more power

 

if u lose the presets when u switch off the ing,swop the red=yellow.

if else fails, hook it up to a lightning storm via the town clock
