Replacing tractor radio

[cb387]

I have to replace the radio in a TM140. I've taken the old one out but the connectors on the back don't correspond to any of the connectors on modern radios. I guess i need a wiring adaptor of some sort but which one?. Id normally wander into Halfords for this problem but obviously cant at the moment.

Old radio had 2 block connectors (circled)

Just look online for din connectors, for modern radios,

Just chop and put connectors on? Normally need a memory live, Live an earth plus all speakers.

Look the same to me .

You might need to swap some wires in the plugs but that's all

There's usually a diagram of what they need somewhere

Swapped mine last week for a DAB and it just plugged straight in and that was on a 56 plate MF, aerial need a box connecting to it though to continue using the same aerial, but at £40 it was cheaper and simpler that fitting a new one specifically for the DAB

Just had a quick look on Halfords site.
the pictures do not show the harness, but if you google the part number, you will see the manual refers to the wiring harness, which has standard iso connectors

this is only an example and I have no idea if this radio is any good

I bought a Blaupunkt Skagen DAB radio and it is very good and easy to use. I think most of the other makes are too fiddly and difficult to use.

Bought myself a bombproof old Kenwood from ebay... has a cassette player! And it just works, all the time. Proper buttons you can actually press instead of the modern ones which squidge.

Replaced all radios for cheapo sony and pioneer ones with usb, 50 to 60 euro a piece, good stuff. They all came with a harness to iso connections. Only thing I look out for is that you can navigate through folders aswell as individuel songs. Kinda usefull when you take about 10 gb of music and podcasts along.

 

[wdah/him]

is there a tidy way of putting a radio and speaker in a box to mount in any tractor, stupid question perhaps but our 390 has a lift off cab and no radio when with out it

 

[Gerbert]

Yeah you can get din mounting boxes for car radios with a speaker, you can also get radios with a build in speaker.
