Right then phillips stereo in a pug 306 is made by phillips.
I have a six disc multiplay made by phillips and cant get a lead
to connect the two together,and the pug hu is cd compatible.

There are at least two Philips changer protocols, i2c (DC082) changer and d2b (RC026 changer - as used in <MY01 Scoobs). They're not the same! The changeover year is around '96.

IIRC, the lead for d2b is ISO to DIN.

In Pug applications, RC026 is used with Philips 4050 / 8050 / DC722 head units. I reckon that you could source a bus lead from Philips.

The bus lead should be no different to that used in any d2b application including the Legacy and pre-MY01 Impreza. Same for Rover R860/R770, etc. Should be relatively easy to source.

Local Subaru dealer wants £13 for a cable between Philips head and changer in MY98 Impreza, ask your Pug dealer and see if it's cheaper
Does the changer get its power through that cable from the head then?
