Good reading. My radio is the Alpine XQD10158OLNF not the posh one that Gordon has!
The cd player was junked as it was jammed. The cable is there but I threw the cd player as when I took the cover off springs fell out. I think there was previous surgery in there.... I bought the bluetooth module as per Stockholm audio and mines the wrong radio (it's promised to Gordon when I find it).
Marty where would I look for that wire? Will it be in the one of the plugs on the back of the radio?
