AXMAN Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 Ive just bought an ancient 1988 AX for 200quid, old school! Anyway, i am having a little trouble fitting a stereo into it, i'll happily put up with a casette player but presently, all i have is a hole and three end stripped wires. If anyone could enlighten me it would be appreciated. Cheers. X Quote
truemouse Posted August 14, 2005 Posted August 14, 2005 Buy Sony explode head unit and speakers (Amps to follow.) from harlfords, and if it comes to £100 they'll fit it for free. (Usually good for head-ache free experience.) If they give you crap, just tell 'em to shove their head unit up their arse unit and start going about it yourself. What I'd suggest is basically starting from scratch. Best to get advice from our local stereo shop. Word of warning though, the AX was a very compact car. In order for the clever buggers at Citroen to put so much car into such a small space, they had to mould stuff around the driver. The original car was designed for the left-hand drive market, so stuff like air-ducts and antenna routes flow so that they'd be accessed from the passenger side - the right hand side. (Can you see where I'm going with this?) Took me ages to install a new antenna in Germany after I took my British AX through a German car-wash (They have this stupid safety switch deal where you have to stand outside while the machine automatically washes your car. You can't back out or drive forward if you forget to remove the antenna or fold down the mirrors.) Be prepared to remove lots and lots of facia/ dashboard/ instrument panels and steering wheels.
