1998 D2 PF S8. Agate Grey/Platinum. Every option (I think) except electric rear seats, Tiptronic steering wheel, ski hatch, towbar & dimming door mirrors.
e.g. Cruise control, NavPlus/TV, Bose, GSM, Xenons, Solar roof, Parking sensors, Alcantara/leather everywhere of course. (internal dimming mirror added later)
1998 (very early) Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec; ABS/TCS, Heated screen/mirrors, Aircon. Added Auto-dim mirror, Leather seats, Trip computer, Cruise control, OEM Ford SatNav with CD changer.
And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850!

Thanks Ainarssems I've also found this kit

http://bit.ly/19VcF8G
Is it better? Will it also solve the lack of volume? Or will I need to run a pre amp?
This may be a stupid question but why don't the RCA's out of the head unit just go to the line in to the Bose amp? Different somehow?
Thanks dave

That is made by Connects2 who are a well-known brand; I'd research what they make as that eBay listing specifically says:
Quote:
Note: Use this lead when changing the stereo (and you have BOSE speakers fitted as standard) to a new stereo that has no RCA outputs (i.e. has speaker outputs only)
which suggests there's almost certainly a similar unit for RCA outputs.

A question to that eBay seller would be a good start.

I've fitted the new wiring adapter it's a connects2 CT53-AU04 and now have sound out of all the speakers, the kit is very good and very easy to fit. I've also had a facia plate laser cut, this is the first prototype and needs a little adjustment! I guessed the radius wrong and its not the final material (satin black acrylic) so just a little bit of tweaking to get it fitting perfectly
