Hi all,
First time posting on here - got a 1994 SN95 V6 Convertible and I am looking to swap the aftermarket Sony radio that has been fitted to it for the original unit once again, and possibly the CD player that came with these as well. It's really picky but the existing aftermarket system has a 10 CD Changer in the boot in a really annoying place so I want it gone. I also don't like the stereo either as it has a permanent clock display that can't be turned off. So I want to take it out and go back to the original unit. I used to have a 94 GT Convertible a few years back and that had the standard stock set up and it was perfect for my needs.
I have done some removal of what's already there and this is what I have found.
Firstly, behind the lower storage slot where the CD player would go...
These 2 are just hanging there and not connected to anything. So are they for the factory CD Player? I would say yes, apart from a quick look on eBay for the CD player shows the square connector on the back of it, but not necessarily the flat grey one - the hole seems a bit more "rectangular" than "flat" as the connector is.
And now to the actual head unit itself. Firstly, I have 2x flat "Ford" connectors that go to black and brown plugs. I am assuming that these are the original Radio connectors with an adaptor as, in the 2nd photo below you can see brown and black connectors going into the ISO ports on the back of the Sony unit and these do indeed route back to the 2x "Ford" connectors mentioned here and shown below...
Now, looking at the above (note the Antenna cable has been removed as it is a pain in the ****), you can see the brown and black connectors mentioned above into the ISO socket - easy.
A quick Google and trawl on the Sony website suggests that the red and white cables are the audio from the CD Changer and the black cable on the left is the "data" link to the CD Changer so they can be ignored.
But I think I am a cable missing... Again our old friend Google shows me that the back of the original stereo has the flat connector, but only 1 and there is also a square connector as the one I have spare on the lower section - does that make sense? But then further probing found a radio that may be the one - a F4SF-19B132-AB LT58.
However, I can't find a CD player that has the flat connector type like I seem to have - assuming of course that that is indeed the CD connector behind the cubby hole thing...
Thanks in advance for any help and guidance on this.
Regards
Tim Watts
