Stereo wiring loom

[icsys]

Aaaarghhhh ! my thread has gone. And all the replies with it.

Sorry... I have to repeat everything.

OK
I have fitted a new head unit - a single CD player/radio.

When I play the radio, sound comes out of all four speakers and it fades front-back left-right.

When I play a CD it will only come out of the front speakers?????

I checked the wiring and there are eight wires on the head unit loom:
Front left White front right grey
Rear left green rear right purple

On the Surf wiring loom is a yellow and black and a red and white.
Also there is a black/white stripe wire which is doing nothing at the moment. These are on a seperate plug.

All the other wires (including the front speaker wires) are on the bigger plug.

What I cant understand is why the radio works fine but playing a CD does not?
It all worked perfectly in my Laguna.

Thanks Keith... all ok now.

For anyone else fitting a UK radio, the lead to convert the Toyota plugs to the ISO std is available at Halfrauds Part No PC2-17-4
This plugs straight in and works without modification (in most cases)
It was £11.99 but you may get one cheaper elsewhere.

Hi keith

Some one with answers I like the sound of this. Maybe you could help me to, I have the same problem only I have used the halfords ISO plug. The radio works through all for but the cd changer only works through the fronts, I presumed it was a problem with the disc changer but maybe you can shed some light on the matter, the head unit is an MDX something or other. Any help would be appreiciated.

Cheers
