Fiesta Mk7 (2008+) Problem Fitting Radio

[Andy Slack]

I have a 2009 59 Fiesta Econetic and am trying to fit a Kenwood KDC-5751SD radio.

So far I have tried the Autoloeads PC99-X50 which does not have the correct connector to plug into the Fiesta wiring loom.

I have also tried the Connects2 CTSFO004 which connects up OK. However I can only load and eject CDs - the head units display does not come on at all so is unusable. I have tried another Kenwood head unit (with a different wiring loom plugged into the Connects 2) and get the same thing.

I have read elsewhere that the Red Ignition wire may not be present, but I do not know how to check this.

Please can anyone shed any light?

Has anyone else replaced the manufacturer head unit, and if so what harnesses did you use?

Thanks

Andy
