Multiplex

[FarmerPug]

When did the multiplex of the wiring happen, what parts changed, if i take the drivers window switch off a pre multiplex is it different than a multiplex. The same with stuff like the climate control, mfd sat nav (if equipped) etc.
Just want to know this if i go to break this car how to describe the parts better. Also about this sat nav drive i bought.

Why don't you just stick both VINs into Service Box and see if different part numbers come up?

From what I've seen it came in on Y plates over here which would be sometime after March 2001. Most things would be the same, but the main parts that I know are different are the steering wheel & airbag, stereo & obviously the stalk assembly which is the Comm2000 set up on the multiplex models. Seats are fine for both as mine came from a multiplex model & all of the airbag plugs were the same.

i havent got the vin number just yet, only for my car.
Would an mfd from a 2001 fit other cars though?
how did the stereo differ?

[waue1978]

The stereo had different wiring into the back of it. Same type of plugs, but the wires were in different places. Know this because when I was looking for an adaptor to change my stereo, there were different types for multiplex & non-multiplex.

and what about the sat nav (or mfd), and climate control

i sold lozz the MFD from a 53 plate. he put it into his V plate car.

all MFDs will fit all D9s

iagree there all the same ithinks too ,

and the one you kindly got for us was just plug & play so itake it there all the same, apart from those that display sat/nav.

what im wondering here is the sat nav i got came from a 2001, its still in the post.
Did pre multiplex cars get sat nav?

ive seen a Wreg one with sat nav so as a guess id say yes,

[FarmerPug]

i have confirmed its all ok, after searching servicebox for 406 navigation i found that the Main CD drive is part 6563R7 for both saloon and coupe. The same is the case with the dipslay itself part 656361

cool,

sounds complicated all that
inormaly just plug stuff in if it dont work it gets launched

after spending £100 on an outdated bit of technology, it will be carefully placed into the car, if it doesnt work it will be carefully put in a box and sold again.
Its not too hard, someones even made a guide on retrofitting the satnav.

what wire is it for the sat nav is it a Grey plug?
ive got one for a cd changer but ive found a stray wire Grey plug

[FarmerPug]

wrong side, the sat nav one is on the right hand side, pull the carpet out of the way and you will see a blue multi connector and a relay connector. Im hoping the display bit fits the same plug as the MFD
