hi chaps
my newly acquired 300tdi has a random head unit and im wondering if there is a cd/mp3 unit that will work with the steering wheel controls?
cheers :)
 
thanks for that any idea wher i can get one? and will it enable me to use any wireless i like?
 
Only head units that have the 'jack' input at the rear will accept the signals via the additional patch lead will work and make sure you can get a lead suitable for your disco. All the ICE shops/suppliers sell the kit so just Google.

I think you'll find that you need to buy a head unit that supports steering wheel/remote operation, as well as a patch lead.

I would be going to your local car radio place for advice.

Ps If you are talking about using the dashboard-mounted switches on the binnacle to operate the radio, you should be aware that they are NOTORIOUSLY unreliable.

Ahh probably best to ignore them then, just a thought really :)

That's the best plan. Get yourself a nice medium quality radio/CD maybe with a memory card slot or a usb slot - if you have your music on your computer as it makes it dead easy to put it into the car.

I've purchased 2 or 3 Clarion or Kenwood sets off Ebay that have worked really well.
