Many thanks to those who put me on the track of dabonwheels.co.uk. I
ordered an SMB female to FME male adaptor lead from them, but unfortunately today they wrote back (very courteously) to explain that they have no stock. So, Question One, does anyone know of an alternative supplier? Today I investigated the van's connections to the radio. There is no way of knowing (by looking) what each cable does. They are all colour coded of course but I can't find any info about which colour means what. I'd be grateful if anyone can help. The van is a 2009 Transit 350. (It's only done 37,000 miles and it's in brilliant condition. Now I'm on my own I can't see the point of having a van and a car. I could do without the car but not the van, so that's why I'm putting a better radio in it.) https://www.dropbox.com/sh/lton9jcly...kUbLhilxa?dl=0 Bill |

"fdv200 audio pinout" "Ford Quadlock Car Stereo pinout diagram" https://pinoutguide.com/Car-Stereo-F...d_pinout.shtml The unit sits on the CAN bus, so the car computer can talk to it. https://pinoutguide.com/images/uploa...2153_image.png Still needs some other technical input or reverse engineering, to figure out what to do next. There are companies making harnesses for it. I don't recognize either connector, so hard to say why you'd want that harness. Maybe you'd have to find a car stereo place first and ask then what would be a good fit. Even if you don't end up buying it there. https://www.connects2.com/Product/ProductItem/CT20LR03 Paul |

Polar bear meat is usually baked or boiled in a soup or stew. It is never eaten raw. Polar bear liver is inedible, as it contains large amounts of vitamin A and is highly toxic. ... Bear meat should be thoroughly cooked as it can carry a parasitic infection known as trichinella and is potentially lethal to humans." -- Fake news kills!
