  1. Jonny, does your cable also have 3 wires like the one on the picture?

    I have the same connector only it came with a 2 wire cable

    I managed to connect my iphone, but the sound quality is terrible, I think there is something wrong with the cable.
     
  2. Thanks Nickson, that looks easy enough. I'll try it out later on. I can't believe its not so obvious :-)

    Jocco, I'll pull the stereo out again later to check the wires for you.

    Cheers,
    Jonny.
     
  3. Job done, that worked a treat! It sounds great so happy days :-) Thanks!

    Jocco, i have 3 wires coming out of the green connector, white, red, black. Hope this helps
     
  4. Thanks Jonny, I guess I'll have to get the radio out again.

    How is the sound quality?
     
  5. The sound was great. I was really disappointed with the stereo when listening to FM Radio but the aux with an MP3 player is really quite good!
    Do these cars have a poor antenna or something because my radio reception is very bad in areas that I know work fine in other cars?
     
  6. Poor reception, both of mine have been rubbish. I keep thinking about running a new, maybe powered, aerial but the headache wouldn't be worth it.
     
  7. Have you got an original ariel or has it been replaced with a stubby? The stubby will give worse reception, or at least mine does.
     
  8. It looks like a standard stiff wire antenna to me.
