hi anyone local to me! ipswich? to fit a sony cdradio for me plse. its got a clarion cassette radio in it at the moment. and some yob bent my ariel""" another story. thankyou.

Does it not just un-plug and then plug back in? Or is it a case of chopping the wires like i had to do with my Sony cd player?

hi i dont know i have plugs on the new one but dont know if it has a plug on the old one or weather its just wires?

As long as you have the ISO connector, you should be able to unplug the clarion-ISO lead, and plug in the Sony one

If someone has chopped it, and not spent the £10 on an ISO connector, you'll need to cut and splice the existing wires - they will be the same colour on the clarion and sony, so you should be ok

ok thanks will give it a go.

If it helps, kbob and I will be on our way to Fakenham next Friday...might be able to meet up and fit it for you if you get stuck

thats great thanks not very electrical being a girl ha! if you about then pm me and can meet you guys thanks

Get the old one out first. As Marc says, luckily the BA doesn't need an adapter. Unplug the connectors and aerial, then reconnect to the new sony unit. Sorted Also remember you need to remove the old cage and fit the new 1 that comes with the sony headunit. Push the little prongs out to lock it in place

I have just fitted a Sony head unit in my 323 and had to chop the wires due to the iso not matching the Mazda plug/pins.

You need a Mazda - ISO harness, and then the ISO - head unit harness

Strange, my ba slotted straight together without adapter. My wiring might of been different to the majority though

Should be pretty easy, done it on several cars before.

I'm in ipswich aswell if you need a hand
