Looks right to me, but you will have to do some modifications to a couple of wires to get the Steering Controls to work.... See here: http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...ad.php?t=18173

This is what I did when I fitted a Symphony and they worked fine...

Thank you Mangoman. I'll get one ordered and hopefully one of the electrical guru's will be able to help me fit it at the nano

I've tried to swap my stereo over with the connector I got from the bay. The radio works fine but I can't play CD's

Can anyone help please.

Cheers Ben.

Ah, I believe you will need a different loom/cable for the CD Changer. I think the one off the Harmony won't work with the Symphony as the Harmony is a Phillips and the Symphony is Alpine.

Thank you once again mangoman.

For the CD player you would need the Link Harness, part no. VUL100330 - £60.16 from Rimmer Bros. (or make up a loom using a blue mini ISO connector).

There's a 75 in the scrap yard by me with a symphony in it. How hard is it to get the loom out? I know how to remove the multi-changer so does the loom just pull through?

The Symphony loom has a 17 pin connector on the end that plugs in to the same connector on the car loom that that would plug in to the Harmony, you just need to trace the loom back.

Actually the Harmony has the BMW 17 Pin Connector, the Symphony has the standard ISO one.
