What's a CD ?? Sort of spinning memory chip?? Better use something where you plug in a card - or a USB stick... But you'll never hear it anyway when the engine is running! Pretty much anything will need the car to be -ve earth....is it?

lol its still postive earth

you will need to isolate any neg-earth player,and feed directly from the battery with a fuse,fitting one is very easy ,where to put it is a little harder,for ideas try a google search for morris minor radios ,plenty of ideas there

That will only end in tears......first step - convert to -ve earth.

oh no it won't

If you fit a cd player hide it from view behind the glove box lid.
Hide the speakers at floor level or under the seats.
Old Morris locks are an easy target.
While on the subject of security, fit a disklok 42cm wide for a standard steering wheel.
Money well spent.

Thanks for the reply ive decided against trying to fit a cd player. Im going to get a pos earth radio and mp3 it as for the security ive ordered a lock for it thanks.

the wiring is almost the same,depending on the make and head functions,will it have an AUX input?

[rockabillygilly]

yer its got an aux output i hate wiring things had a bad experiance with my first classic lol

Good luck trying to find a +ve earth wireless..... It really is easy to convert the car to -ve earth, and will make life much easier in future.......

Iv been told my car is still pos earth so need to change it over at some point. Altough i thought it was already changed over because surely the battery only goes in on way?
