replacing disco radio /cass

sonic6 · Mar 8, 2008

Hi all,

I want to take out old standard disco radio/cass, and put in a cd-radio, can i just plug in a standard disco cd-radio, i have a 1997 r-reg 300 tdi, the radio is at the top of the dash.

The existing radio will almost certainly have "ISO" plugs on the wiring so ANY std DIN-sized radio CD will fit and work.

BTW 'DIN-sized' - that's the normal rectangular shape most radios come in.

Thanks, thats good news, can you tell me will the volume controls on the dash still work,

hi fella do a search ............ im sure i seen something about buying a special little device which also fits on the back of the radio to allow you to use the controls on the dash ..........

At my local car bits place, when I bought my radio CD I was offered a small black box to include the remote controls. Trouble was the Radio CD was 89, black box was 49.

For me it was a tough choice - no more remote controls !!!!

Don't know for sure, but a better chance.

The question that's in my mind is where would you get a LR radio/cd from. I only ask because if it's from a more modern vehicle it could well have a different sort of electronic control to operate the car and then it wouldn't work.

i'm going to landrover this week, i'll ask the question, thanks for your help.

I bought a Panasonic Radio CD for my car. It cost 89uros and it has the socket on the front for an MP3 player !!

Installed in 5 mins. Works a treat too.

Put a sony in mine £115 but has 1GB flash memory for MP3 etc, wish I has spent a bit more and got one with blue teeth though. Recently hooked it up to the rear sub and it sounds superb and a great improvement on the original.
