    I bought a new LG cd player for my 1996 Peugeot 406. I removed the old
    Clarion tape/radio, and there were three connectors at the back, plus
    the antenna. Two were iso connectors and one was something else, which
    I presume connects to the stalk, for the sterring wheel control. I
    ignored this one and connected the two isos to the two iso plugs in
    the back of the LG cd player. The cd slot made noise (like it was
    accepting or rejecting a cd) and then nothing. THe unit wouldn't turn
    on. I replaced the Clarion but it wouldn't turn on either! There seem
    to be a lot of adaptors available for post 99 406's, but they seem to
    use a non-iso connector.

    Can anyone tell me what's going on? Do I need an adaptor?

    Thanks

    Actually I fixed it. For anyone who's interested, when I looked at the
    fusebox which flips down behind the coded anti-start panel to the
    right of the steering wheel, the fuse (number 16a, 10amp) was missing.
    It makes me wonder how the original radio was working, but maybe it
    didn't need a fuse somehow. Anyway there is one spare of each so after
    replacing it my new radio worked

    Congrats on that one, if you can figure out the fusebok from the user
    manual, you deserve the croix-de-peugeot.
    I had a pioneer CD fitted recently in a 2000 406 without recourse to any
    adaption leads, it works fine if you can put up with the ignition switch not
    turning it off and the onboard computer diplay now going off 30 seconds
    after switch off. Hey! it plays MP3s from CDs and CDRs I'm a happy bunny,
    the old one played CDs when it was in a good mood.
