I bought a CD changer (Pioneer CDX-M65ZRV, AMR 3053) from a person on Internet. Unfortunately, when I received it, the wires had been cut off and I have no way of connecting or install the changer to my truck.

Anyone have any ideas where can I get the connectors or adapter? I called Land Rover dealer but they don't carry these parts.

Thanks in advance for your helps.

Probably a stolen unit. Thieves cut the connections for speed. try a salvage yard

the connections to CD player(one small white three pin and one rectangular data connector) should be either under the driver's or passenger seats depending on the year. I beleive tha after 96 they are under the pass seat. the CD changer
should have just the two female connector plugs, not any "wiring" are you saying that the connections in your truck were cut?

yeah, kinda confusing. The power receptables on the CD are flush female connectors in the rear of the box like on the back of your computer. The only "wires" that could be cut are the ones under the seat. If your under seat wires are intact pull out the plugs from the changer and stick your plugs in. I agree you might have obtained a distressed unit - let's hope it came from a wreck. On the other hand, if your seat wires have been cut you might have to go to a junk Disco and salvage the plugs and some wire. Match the color codes on the wire and solder them & and plug back on. I use to do this a lot on motorcycles so it's no big deal - just tedious.

Duhhhhhh!!!!! Silly me! What can you say, I am a woman trying to work on the truck myself.

Pull out the plugs, connect them and I am singing along baby!

Thank you all!

I wish all my problems were as easily solved. Good to hear your making progress alone.
