CD changer help please!

Post by GroovyCarrot »

Hi, I'm sure some of you guys will be a bit more clued up about this than I am. I've just pinched the CD changer out of my dad's 1999 clio rxe, it's factory fitted alpine 6 cd job. I want to fit it to my polo, but it seems not to have any kind of standard socket on the back of it. It's a rectangular 9 pin connector:

I don't have a clue what cables / adapters I'll need to buy, or if I'll need a particular head unit to use it (obviously I can't steal my dad's head unit as well as it's the factory fitted clio player with the remote screen etc built into the car..). Can anyone enlighten me? This is the player:

I don't know the model number because it doesn't seem to have one, but it has the Alpine logo on the front.
Cheers for any help :)

You might be able to get a wiring harness from Halfords. These would have 2 plugs on each end. The best bet might be to buy one, and chop off one plug, then use block connectors to attach the loose wires to the Polo. Thats just a suggestion, and isn't tried and tested!
