Freelander 1 Radio wiring

bukko · Apr 18, 2019

I want to get one of these for my 02 TD4 but I think they were for earlier ones (had one in my '99 XDi).
Does anyone know if the wiring is different?

You’ll need the radio display/clock and the wiring to/from it and the connector depends on the existing headunit fitted

Have to ask why you’d want to go down this route?

bukko · Apr 19, 2019

The current head unit is an aftermarket one.
I want an LR one and just for impractical nostalgic reasons thought I'd get one like my '99 had, although that had a CD changer as well.
I'll whip it out and take some photos.
And then I'll look at the stereo...

This is with the head unit out.
Someone has added an additional earth and a live output, although that wasn't connected to anything..
How much of what's left do I need? Does that big block come apart? (Can't figure out how)

I might have a standard FL1 radio in storage. I'll take a look, later in the weekend, if it helps?

That’s a Quadlock connector and the outer part of the connector slides to release the two sections

The standard radio at that age (and connector) was known as C42

Thanks that would be helpful, if not too inconvenient!

Thanks - yes I managed to slide part of it sideways but wasn't sure what it did. I'll see what I can pull out

In fact @Nodge68 would you be interested in selling the one you have?
I'm down your way in a few weeks if it helps.

If I've still got one, you're welcome to it. I'm not sure what I've got in storage, but I'll have a look tomorrow.

OP if Nodge can't find his I have one as attached.

Happy to send it to a good home.

EDIT: forgot to says, it's out of an 02 GS (3 Door)

That's lucky, as it appears I got rid of a lot of Freelander stuff a while back, an early FL1 HU with it.

I have a CD changer, which I think might be FL1 though.

I hadn't thought of a CD changer. I see that the Alpine units they used were £700 though

How much were you thinking for yours?

The multi changer was always expensive, even second hand they're expensive.

You can have it, but you need to make sure it's the correct one for your HU, as I believe there are a couple of models. And you'll need the wiring to go with it, as I don't think I have that.
If you can find out what model multi-changer you need, I'll check I've got it.

This one is the "C42" changer - I'm hoping that means it works with the C42 radio - no necessarilly true I realise.
[edit]
It also looks like you can get the wiring for between £35-£45 depending on supplier and model.
Or maybe a breakers might be a better bet for that.

Ok. I'll check what I've got. Hopefully I'll have what you need. I think I've got 3 or 4 multi-changers in storage, but no idea what vehicles they came out of now.
