Hi All, Hope all good back in blighty. Have a 1998 es 3.9 auto. The radio has been removed but the cd auto changer is still under the seat. Are the cruise control switches linked to this wiring? is it worth sourcing an original radio for this or looking to something new?
Thanks.

Nope, no where near and fitting an original head unit will be plug and play, hopefully, or look for something new the LR Philips kit was never the best.
Are radio frequencies down your way the same as the UKs? the Japanese ones aren't imports to the UK require a replacement unit.

UK head units spec can be found on e-bay sometimes.

Thanks, seem to be similar on fm. This disco has had a few different units fitted through its life so the wiring is all over the place. The cruise control switch still lights up but is not activating so I wondered if it all links up with the same wires. I can easily fit an aftermarket unit but then the remote switches don't work, can I justify the cost to get it all sorted professionally?
Best thing over here is very little rust !
Cheers

I have a Pioneer head unit and under seat CD player of course the dash switches now don't work but I've never used them even when the Philips kit was fitted.
With cruise control a common issue is the rubber vacuum hose rotting and becoming detached, so something to look at and if faulty repair or replace.
