406 Radio.

I have just installed a new radio and was told that the ISO wiring was
standard and did not require any adaptation.But looking around I see that
there are wiring adapters.I ask because i can not get the stalk interface to
work.

Any advise.

There was a posting called Radio Stalk on 18/12/07 that may help.

 

Thanks Keith but it was me who made the radio stalk post.
My question was ,is the wiring 100% standard as it may be that which is
causing the stalk remote not to work.

The wiring on my 406 was "standard", When I fitted a Sony cd to the car I
purchased one of those ISO adaptors I think that's what they call them,
"Peugeot to a Sony" adaptor.
Is it a Sony radio you are trying to fit by any chance, I think as long as
the radio has the Sony jack socket fitted at the rear it should work.

Thanks Gary.
I have installed a jvc stereo,the problem is the dimmer function and the
stalk control.The standard fitting does work,but i was unsure if perhaps
some supply wiring was different,causing the stalk interface not to work.
I assume there is some wiring difference or there would be no need for a
Peugeot to Standard ISO adapter that many places sell,it is a PC2-74-4.

From what I remember the main difference in the standard Peugeot iso and the
adaptor connecter was to do with the powering of it off with the key and the
dimming side of it when the lights were switched on. I think there are 2
wires that you can switch in the ISO to make the radio dim when the lights
are on.
Unfortunately I cannot remember which ones the were or what the part number
was I had..
The stalk controls worked ok with the adaptor and the Sony cd player.
To be honest ,the times I belt the stalk control with my knee when I get in
and out I am surprised it still works, not the greatest of designs is it.
In the end though I got fed up with the 406 centre display only showing the
time and I much preferred the original look to the dash, so I purchased a
used Peugeot 406 cd player via ebay and fitted that instead. All I needed to
do was take the car to a Peugeot dealer and have the new cd programmed to
the car, cost me £40 for the radio and £15 to get it programmed. Plus all
the controls and the centre display work as they should. You can even get an
adaptor so you can plug an MP3 player into the system as well.

Hi.
I decided to buy a harness adapter and it does seem to have 2 wires in
different positions,so i will be fitting it this weekend.
I hopefully only have one more question,there is an orange wire on the new
harness that is open ended that goes to the radio dimmer.Does anybody know
which wire on the original harness connects to this to dim the radio when
the lights are on.

Thanks again
