Alana H/U to in dash CD Changer Lead?

[air121005]

i have a MK.4 ibiza which has the standard Alana H/U.
i have bought a 6 CD in-dash multichanger which has alledgedly come out of a new ('ish) Skoda Octavia.
i picked up the "correct" lead from the stealer today and it doesn't fit, not even the correct shape.

the one i got was part no. 6X0 051 734 A.
this has a female connector with 2 rows of 4 contacts, linked to a male connector of the same arrangement (2 rows of 4) as the female socket and also a male 2 contact plug with clips either side?

the female socket on the CD changer is 2 rows of 6 contacts (1 in each row is blank / not there, so actually 2 rows of 5).

all help and advice much appreciated!!!!

The changer's got a standard SEAT, VW connection


Where did you get the part number ? The lead you've been sold is the one to make the 6 disc in-dash changer illuminate with your dash lights (which is why it's got flyleads off the ISO plug)

i got the part number after doing a search on the forum.

so the lead i have, do i need that as well as a different lead?
the lead i have doesn't seem to plug in anywhere on the changer?

think i have found the part number for the correct lead, 1M2 971 735
can anybody confirm this is the lead i need as i don't want to end up with a bag full of leads and no cash!

The Leon/Toledo cable's 1M2971735
(but is only about a meter long so you'll probably need the 5m one if you're sticking the changer in the boot)





The changer may or may not have a small slot (socket) in the opposite corner to where the lead comes out - when I stuck a single in-dash changer in mine it lit up fine, so you probably don't need the harness you've got

its an in-dash cd changer

i have just had a look around the unit and the only connector is the one shown in the picture.

so it looks like the lead i have is useless then?

have to try and get the dealer to have it back, what do you reckon my chances are?

Take the cable you have back to the dealer.
Enjoy.

Looks like we both missed this one first time round



Yeah, that part number will certainly work with an indash changer. (might even be a little long)
