Title: installing car stereos Post by: sonicyouth on Friday, November 4, 2005, 18:11:09 I just bought a Sony CDX-R3350 for the car as my iPod is dead and I can't find another one anywhere, got it home and I can't understand how the fuck to install it :D
I've got a Renault Clio. A quick google search didn't help much. Title: installing car stereos Post by: DV on Friday, November 4, 2005, 18:12:53 Im fucking usless with this sort of thing as well, but I have a mate who might be able to help. He's good at car shit
Title: installing car stereos Post by: Leggett on Friday, November 4, 2005, 19:40:47 because your car is odd/garlic-ridden/french, it will most probably be a bastard to fit. sorry to be the bringer of bad news! :soapy tit wank:
Title: installing car stereos Post by: Kinky Tom on Friday, November 4, 2005, 19:50:32 I'd be able to do it, I'm a dab hand.
Title: installing car stereos Post by: sonicyouth on Friday, November 4, 2005, 20:38:07 Fancy coming home with me tomorrow Tom? :oops:
Title: installing car stereos Post by: Kinky Tom on Friday, November 4, 2005, 20:45:15 Right mate, do the connectors out of the back of the unit match the ones in your car? If not you will need to get yourself to Halfords or the Motorist Centre to get yourself the correct bits.
I might have the stuff you need lying around, if I find it I'll bring it tomorrow and try to get it to you. Title: installing car stereos Post by: sonicyouth on Friday, November 4, 2005, 20:50:15 they don't match, no. on the back of my new headunit there is three large plugs, one fits into the back of the stereo and the other two presumably should plug in to a socket inside the slot in my car.
however, the one inside my car looks more like a scart socket than anything and it certainly doesn't fit. i can get pics if you want? Title: installing car stereos Post by: Kinky Tom on Friday, November 4, 2005, 20:54:14 Yeah ok.

I need to know whether it got fitted... :D Title: installing car stereos Post by: Kinky Tom on Friday, November 4, 2005, 21:55:00 Will the unit not just slide in without the wires and connect to the cage?

Title: installing car stereos Post by: DMR on Friday, November 4, 2005, 22:33:05 Quote from: "sonicyouth" ahh i know it, safe as fuck i'll go in there tomorrow just need money :-- they did mine for free 8) I told them I bought it just then (had purchased it a week ago from argos) and they didn't even ask for a receipt :D Title: installing car stereos Post by: sonicyouth on Friday, November 4, 2005, 22:58:02 Quote from: "Kinky Tom" What do you mean it won't fit? Will it not fit in the cage, or do the connectors not reach/fit eachother? It won't go all the way into the cage because the connectors do not match up, the one inside the cage is too far over for the one on the headunit Title: installing car stereos Post by: sonicyouth on Friday, November 4, 2005, 23:03:00 if i need an adaptor how much will it cost?
