Sorted it! The head unit 7000 ford audio has died a miserable death in the end it kept turning off and on itself every few seconds, with the aerial not moving and the radio lights off i thought I would put my old Blaupunkt in, I got the iso adapters and the trim plate and It made me realise just how crap the Ford unit was, I now have The Orlando cd72 and the blaupunkt ao9 10 disk changer in and the sound is kicking! I have also a blaupunkt sub and remote to wire in. Anyone know were I can get a blanking panel for the rear audio controls unit or an adapter to make it work with the Blaupunkt?

Yep the Ford radios are rubbish. I could not get the rear controls to work either even with the so called adaptor. There is no official blanking plate that I know of. So its DIY or just leave them.

 

[BIG HVM]

Adapter?

H if you still have the adapter can I buy it from you I want to examine this and see if I can make it work, you know how much I love tinkering with stuff and gadjets!

 

[Howard]

Sorry m8 but its part of the ISO adaptor so I can't split it out. I suggest you look for a blaupunkt adaptor for any good installation company.

All change!- mind the Gap!

I have decided to take the panel out, not sure what to do with the Gap but I cannot have stuff in the car that dont work.
The blaupunkt is in and sounds brilliant, it seems well suited to the stock speakers and they sound better than ever I think the blau' sub helps a fair bit, so the crap sound was the ford unit!
Next plan is a sat nav/dvd install, maybe I will take some pics and post it all here- watch this space dudes!
