My standard head unit in an 02 plate zetec wont turn on or off with the cars ignition, i have to turn it on by pressing the button and then it tells me i have one hour. Its only just started doing this before it would turn on and off with the key.

So i was looking at getting a new head unit from reading other peoples posts i have gathered i need the following? (just using halfords links for reference)

Multi stalk adapter to make it work with steering wheel controls

My main question is do i need to also by a harness adaptor aswell as when i check to see on the halford website it says i need the following

but will the multi stalk adaptor do this for me?

Thank you for any help and sorry if i have missed an obvious post if you want to just point me in the right direction to that im happy to read.

 

Hi Mate, Looking a the first one, it looks like it will complete all the tasks you need. It will be worth while the unit is out to check the power on your ign lead. you might have blown a fuse or something as its strange that one day it works the next it doesn't. just stick a metre on it and turn the ign on see if it goes to 12v.
