Original Mazda radio cassette

Post by helen&tony » Sat Apr 26, 2008 10:50 am

Hi
Our friend and neighbour over here wants our old radio to put in his Fiat, as he's got a load of cassettes....can anyone help with a diagram of what wire goes to which terminal on the sockets at the rear?
Thanks in anticipation
Cheers

I've got a plug that converts from the mazda radio to standard iso which i can post to you. Don't know if it will ever get there but it might be worth a try :wink:

Ah, but that (Halfords) connector won't work on his Fiat because the Mazda Radio has a Mazda connector on the back, right? So you'll be needing a female Mazda to male ISO, right? [-o< However, the adaptor will have a male Mazda with a female ISO, I think. I might have this argument the wrong way around, but I think the moral still stands. The connectors won't fit. Also, his Fiat might have a Fiat's-own connector, not an ISO cable to connect to, so it would just all be confusing. #-o

Good luck with this though! 8)

also...... won't the mazda radio be jap frequencies, so you'll need a band convertor as well

it might be easier to get a aftermarket unit from somewhere.....

I've got a goodmans cd player or I think a pioneer cd player in the loft...I'd happily give you, but I'm sure postage would make it crazy :roll:

Hi, Stringman
That lead might be handy, as he can pug it in and solder the wires on the back to the loose Fiat wires....I'll P.M. you
Hi John
Is that a radio as well?...I can pay the post for them....they would be chuffed to bits...so many of the ordinary village people are very poor. I'll P.M.you
