CD changer cable

[Viv172]

I know some people were looking for a Renault cd changer cable.

Ive just had a new changer fitted and asked the bloke to remove the cable for me, he said that it would have taken him a whole day and have to take the car apart to get it out coz it was wound in with all the other wires an stuff.

Anyhow, he recons that most newish Clios will have this cable fitted at the factory "just in case" a cd changer is ordered and has found this before when a Renault dear told a customer of his that hed have to buy one, the car already had one.

Load of lies my brother and me (complete mechanical numpties) wired the cable in under the carpet and behind the dash. Only took 10 minites at worse and thats with a load of head scratching You need to pull the carpet up and get someone with thin hands to pull the cable though (you could probably use a coat hanger though).

And they dont install the cable as standard unfortunatly and its £90 at a Reanault dealers.

If your mechanci cannot remove the cable then they need to have a go. I think there may be a cable tie used to stop rattling in offical installs but no need to say it canot be removed within more than a few minutes.#

If the installed cannot remove it then can I have a go. At worse you may need to tape up the end of the cable to stop it catching but thats not huge problem.

Its easy to get out, took me about 20 mins to do, take the top of the dash off(instructions on club pages), then you can get to it, next thing is to pull back the nsf sill trim, that just clips off.

Easy as that really, then put it all back together
