georgegunn Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Hi all, new to here as i have just brought my first Td5.. been in the market for one for ages. i have been looking high and low on many different forums and havent really found the answers so annoyingly for you guys... im asking the same question again. My Td5 doesn't have a radio... nothing just an empty dash and no girlfriend to sing whilst i drive. how to i go about fitting one. i dont even know where to start i have brought a cd player and a housing bracket to screw into the dash but this is where i get stuck. speakers will be fine fitting but how to i connect the player to battery and then where is the best place to put the arial? thanks for helping George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderzander Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 If it's a td5 - then even if it's not fitted - then chances are some of the wiring is there. As above - which year is it ? That'll tell what type of dash you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgegunn Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 not sure if this has to be checked... il write it again though. its a v Reg which is 1999 i believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveSIIA Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Standard ISO connectors (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/63/ISO_connectors_for_head_unit_in_car.JPG) would have been fitted. Possibly tucked down the back of the dash / tray at the centre. Most single DIN stereos will plug straight in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgegunn Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 thanks for the help guys.. so then i will just need to buy a arial cable and arial itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 First thing is to look behind the centre panel (the one with the rear wash wipe on etc) and see what's there. You probably have a radio connector (not sure mine was an iso one though) - you may even have an aerial cable? Perhaps you can take a look and report back with either a description or photo?
