Hi all,
Looking to replace the tired Factory ford radio cassette in the car but need to find the location of the on board amp to by pass it. Can anyone shed some light on A) its location and B) if anyone knows of a bypass kit (ISO adaptor) supplier.
Thanks in advance

In the rear quarter panel, next to the rear seats, drivers side.
Remember, to get to it properly, you need to take out the boot panels first, or you risk breaking, clips and the panel,
Yes, ISO plugs are available

I bought a new head unit and the guy who fitted it bypassed the amp direct to the head unit and I fitted better front and rear speakers.
Its worked great for me and I like loud music.
I believe the factory amp is 12 w Cannot tell you anymore as the guy who did it knew his stuff.He also converted my heater resistor connection so I could fit a better type.

I just bought the adaptor cable for the head unit - this bypasses the amp without the hassle of taking it out.
