Hey... Are you the dude who's girlfriend has/had a Cinquecento?

If so... Cool

My question is am I going to need a wiring harness adaptor thing as I am putting in a new Pioneer head unit? Is the standard Fiat shizzle the right ISO connector?
At the moment it's got some Fiat/Philips casette player crap in it.. I can't remember what hte connector is, and I can't find the removing clips to pull it out and look

Thanks muchly

pop down fiat and get them to pop it out for you mate, only takes five seconds.

She has indeed... just passed 100,000 miles in it, not bad for a 10 year old 899cc

To be honest I can't 100% remember if it was an ISO connector as the stereo I put in was out of my car so it had bare wires and I just soldered them. I think it was an ISO though, pretty sure that Fiat use ISO connectors on all the models... although there is one listed for it... http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/prod...oducts_id=1304

If you need to remove it you can always "make" some removal tools from an old wire coathanger. Two pieces bend to U shape insert, give it a wiggle and it should pop out.

OK cool, thanks

One more question... Will any 10CM speakers fit in the front as long as the tweeters don't protrude out?

Howard... your best off getting a ghetto blaster and sitting it on the seat...

Yes would have thought so...

I upgraded the rest of hers a few months back with a new Panasonic MP3/WMA headunit and some Alpine 6x9's and the sound is phenomenal for what it is. Must be the small size of the car, you're inches away from the speakers front and back, and the fronts are in quite a good position.

enjoy the car - Cinq's have real personality

Well I fitted my new head unit today

It's my birthday present but I was given it early. Hehe. Works rather nicely, and the aux input works perfectly with my MP3 player

howard, any of the 10cm will fit in the front with the grills over as long as you dont get any with tweeters...

did you have to fit an iso block on in the end? im sure mine needed one on as i'm sure the head unit was hard wired as opossed the the iso block...

p.s. mines done 92,000 miles and isnt sounding to good today

**Howard** · 22-01-2005, 06:54 PM

Ooh you have a Cinquecento too? Pics?

It already had an ISO harness from the previous stereo

Mine's done 44,000 miles and always sounds good. Except when my appalling driving results in it stalling, coming to a screeching halt or almost getting smashed to pieces
