Transit 3rd Party CD Player Installation

[BloomerzUK]

Hi guys,

Firstly, I want to say that I did search throughly before resorting to a new thread, so sorry if this has been asked before.

This isn't a really technical question, so I thought it would be acceptable in this section of the forum. If not, please move.

My Step-Dad owns a 2005 Transit, Small wheel base. We've been pondering if it's possible to install a 3rd party CD Player without tinkering about alot.

I did some research on the net, and I came across these:http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... :IT&ih=016

This blanks little than half of the gap that would be there if the stock radio/cassette player was removed. Great.

Now to the main point, if we bought a CD Player with all the gubbins from somewhere like Halfords etc, would we need any other adapters or modifications to make everything work. I know some cars/vans need little plug/cable adapters to work with up-to-date equipment etc.

Thanks in advance,

Jake and Andy

Yep you will need an adaptor lead as well, you can get that and the dash adaptor in Halfords.

Forgot to say, I did buy the dash facia.

So, all I need is an adapter and away I go?

Wicked.

Just read your other post saying that the van is a 2.2, if that is the case then that facia wont fit and the lead will need to be a special order I expect.

The facia does fit (Well, I assume so, because I've put it over the top of the stereo and it looks like it would fit snuggly)

I will look into it, thanks mate.
