ss03947 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Hi, First post & a question for the experts. I have a Ford 6000 RDS EON cd/radio that I want to fit in my caravan, bought one off eBay, arrived today, but I'm having problems getting it to work. I've connected it to a 12v battery/speakers, & on switching it on I'm asked to enter the code, which I do, the radio then displays this in the picture below. Pressing any button after this is futile, it still displays the same no matter what you press, & the CD Player doesn't work. I also need advice on this aswell. Correct me if I'm wrong, do I just need a positive, & negative + speaker connections to make this work in my caravan.? The picture below shows the connections on the back of the CD/Radio. On connector A I have number 1 connected to the positive on the battery. Connector A I've number 6 to the negative. And I'm using 5,6,7,& 8 on connector B for the Speakers. Have I got this wired correctly.? Or do I need further connections.? Also I see that the ariel is a differnt fitting, can I get a proper fitting, or do I need to solder the connections.? Sorry for the questions, but I'm not really upto speed on this stuff. Thanks in advance, SS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Tbh it sounds like a duff radio if the buttons aren't changing anything. It could be as simple as dirt/crud on the button contacts, maybe a quick clean? Going further you may have a damaged/yanked ribbon connector between the panel and radio body. Does the cd not auto start when a disc is entered or will the isc not even load in? Wiring you've indicated looks fine to me. As for the aerial connector, you will most likely need a din to iso adaptor. Sent from my S5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ss03947 Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 Thanks for the reply. Does the cd not auto start when a disc is entered or will the isc not even load in? No, it doesn't auto start, wont load. Cheers, SS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 It does sound like a damaged ribbon connector or duff buttons then. TBH I'd send it back as U/S on receipt. They are pretty common on eBay so another one will be inexpensive to source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
