steering column control for 6006 CD player

[deputy]

Hi

does anyone know whether it is possible to install controls on the steering column for a 6006 CD player?
If so any recommendations where to get one and how to install?

cheers

Mark

theres a guide on here on how to install and what parts you need k:

It's pretty simple, you just need the stalk and wiring from a Focus then drill suitable mounting holes in the steering column shroud

I've got one you can have in exchange for your non-modded steering column shroud. I should be down that way visiting Arch Bishop in Hurstpierpoint at some point in the next couple of months if you're not in a mad rush.

Here it is installed:

I had one fitted for a short while but removed it because I kept banging my knee on it

Iv got it on my car 6006 with remote, exactly same set-up as 6000.

thanks rob, a really kind offer....but i got a focus control and am going to give it a go....the guide on here makes it look straight forward...wish me luck...
a quick question ..what functions can you access from the control..`CD/radio?

I can't remember - I only ever used the volume up and down switches on the left and the back/forward through the radio frequencies on the top. Didn't fancy taking my chances with CDs in the 6006.

If you hold the small centre button in it changes between CDs on the 6006

I am having the same problem! Got the stalk on eBay, but no wiring attached to it... Any ideas?

Get the wiring from a scrap Focus

hi,
have done my now....had to buy a plug for the back of the stereo separately off ebay, then connected the stalk and plug with 5amp wire from halfords...total cost about £13...works perfectly
the seller i got both stalk and plug from is here:
