standard cassette player

[flubba-jubba]

can anyone tell me what the blue connector is for on the back of the cassette player in my ibiza??

i want to put in an old JVC cd player but there is nowhere for the blue connecor to go

Its the cd changer cable. I have one in my 1.4 aswell. I found the other end of it (the bit that plugs into the changer) under the carpet in the boot on the drivers side. Under the bit of carpet around the wheel arch.

I think thats for the cd changer (optional extra).

You shouldn't need it for the JVC player to work. Should just be a straight forward, connect the 2 blocks (brown and black) to the jvc unit.

As Krishen says just connect the blocks into the back of the unit and leave the blue plug out.

The wiring is there for the cd changer in most of the cars, just sometimes not the cd changer. As I had the cable in mine but not the changer.

Why not hook a CD changer up to the original head unit using said cable?

You'd have to use a cd changer from the same make as the headunit.

Not too hard to find, SEAT's werent the only car the Grundig MCD changer came in

 

[Heavy]

I got a Grundig MCD36 on eBay for about £20-25 including cable and the head unit out of a Fiat which I will put back on eBay.

Means the laser on your changers packed up, CDR's usually kill em off quicker

Fair enuff.


Cheers dude

 

[flubba-jubba]

ok, got the CD player in .... BUT it doesnt remember any of my settings....i was told to swap the red and yellow wires over but ive got a problem......there are no red and yellow wires to swap!! lol

all the wires have 2 colours on them, so can anyone tell me which ones i need to swap??

 

[Dolly_Gti]

isnt there something with permanent live and ignition switched live, seem to remember having this problem on a golf and my old ibiza.

 

[Cupra Kid]

You swap the red and yellow wires on the head unit loom not the car loom

 

[suj]

yeah on the 1 of the blocks (i dunno about ibiza's, done it on so many other cars though)
like people have said, swap the red and yellow, and your sorted (car audio places can charge £10-15, how bad is that?)
