P.s. It's a 4.2 v8 petrol not sure if this makes a difference but just incase.
Hi and welcome.

I believe the wiring loom was bespoke to the car, so if it was spec'd without the TV you won't have the wiring installed.

Thanks for the reply I was hoping that wasn't the answer I would receive but I guess it is what it is. Thanks again for the quick reply.

AMI would be the route I would go down and have all your MP3's on an Ipod or USB flash.

This may seem a bit sad but I would also like to have bluetooth to stream music and also as a handsfree

Can I ask where the RCA cables are sourced (in the UK)? I would be interested in doing this until I can afford a full AMI install.

The RCA cables must be installed if they havent been already, they are attached to the large red connector that goes in to the TV Tuner in the boot

Sorry, I wasn't very clear. Where in the UK can I buy the RCA cables to plug into the red connector? The fusions unit can be purchased on ebay or amazon but I want to ensure I buy the correct cables so they fit the connector without being too loose or too tight.

This auxiliary input interface connect to original head units via the CD changer port and trick the unit into believing it is playing a CD changer, whilst really playing the audio from another sources. This means the audio can be produced at a much higher quality.'
