Kev Mc Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 HI guys, i have bought a pioneer AVIC-F970DAB head unit to replace my ford 6006cdc head unit, I have bought all the cables extra required such as http://www.halfords.com/technology/car-audio/stereo-fitting-accessories/autoleads-ford-mondeo-car-audio-connector-pc2-84-4 http://www.halfords.com/technology/car-audio/stereo-fitting-accessories/multistalk-adapter-for-sony http://www.halfords.com/technology/connectivity/bluetooth-car-kits/autoleads-sot-092-phone-kit-adaptor-lead-ford-mondeo http://www.halfords.com/technology/car-audio/stereo-fitting-accessories/autoleads-facia-adaptor-fp-07-09-ford 2 OF THESE CABLES DO THE SAME THING, THE SOT-092 from what i can see is for telephone, I think it should be cable - http://www.halfords.com/technology/car-audio/stereo-fitting-accessories/autoleads-pc99-x50-ford-stalk-adaptor the sales guy in Halfords said i needed all these cables, plugged everything in and unit doesnt even come on. baffled!! any ideas?

Stoney871 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Your first mistake was going to Halfords. ;) The second mistake was listening to some shaved monkey who works for Halfords :p The PC99-X50 cable you think is right is 100% correct. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Mc Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 Thanks stoney, Is this why the unit wont be powering up then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 For sure, the Halfords biff has got your wiring in such a muddle I'd be surprised if he hasn't fried a fuse somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Mc Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 only fuse i can find to be blown is the cigarette lighter, plugged original radio back in and its getting power, A local installer says he will install the unit for £70. is this good value for money?

Kev Mc Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 replaced the fuse and the unit still doesnt power up. took the unit to my local fitter and he gets it powering up so a bit baffled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Sometimes the permanent and battery live wires need swapping around in the loom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
