Have you tried another disc!Mate of mine has a BA and he had to have his unit replaced Just after he got it. And You can run your ipod or whatever via a wireless unit that plays it through your FM radio. I just done this yesterday and it works just fine.Bout $30 or so.

Is the CD a copied disc! Have you tried an original CD! Yes, an iPod connector can be wired into the loom on the passenger side footwell, then you hold the AM button for 3 secs to display AUX. Try google it for more info. Ford or a car stereo installation specialist should be able to supply you with an adapter lead.

Think there is 2 types of MP3/Ipod connectors available
Got one 4 years ago that is powered(2 connectors) and hooks up under the left side of the steering column

The Cd player does not play burnt CD's

cd was brand new, tried a few cds but only plays for up to 30 seconds on the first track and then nothing, gonna ring the dealer inthe the morning and get it sorted.hopefully, bummer only had the car since Saturday

Dont waste money on that, the proper cable for a BA is around $30 also, and the sound quality is much better than most cheap transmitters.

Hey Fordlova where do i get the cord from and am I better of getting a professional to install it!

yea buy the cord for the ipod, i got one from a guy on trademe ages ago. get the slightly dear ones that have a little amplifier box built in so the volume is better that the standard cord setup. they plug in easliy on the right hand side of steering column. easy to install yourself, they come with instructions etc. then when you cycle through the modes from the steering wheel you have an AUX option come up as well

cool guys thanks for your help, rung the dealers and they are going to get it fixed/replaced but i will get the ipod cord as well.
