03 2.0 fitting Sony auto cd changer to 6000cd ford - prof91
I have taken the sony cd changer from my Mk 11 Mondeo to fit in my 03 TDCI EST according to the Ford manual the radio is cd autochanger enabled but has nowhere to plug in the ford interface lead, does anyone know if it is possible to modify or if there is any plug adaptors for fitting to the radio connectors? the radio does have an Auxilary button and there is an auxilary socket in the glovebox which would probably work the sound but would not control the cd changer.

would be grateful if anyone has overcome the problem or may have to buy ford 6000 auto changer model.

I don't think the cd changer from a mk 2 mondeo is compatible with the later Ford radios.I have never seen a remote changer in a mk 3 model as they use an in dash 6 disc radio/cd.Also I don't know of any adaptor leads that will do the job.Your best option is to get a used 6006cdc.Avoid the early 6006e as these are unreliable.hth

Thanks elekie&a/c doctor
I have been looking at the Sony CD132-CD6 from a Mk3 2007 and have come to the conclusion that this will be the best option, but you don't know unless you ask. even though mine is an 03 plate it is the later dash so the above should fit ok.
