Swapping head units?

Good evening,

Please excuse my complete and utter lack of knowledge - I'm just beginning to learn about fiddling with LRs...

My parents have a S1 Safari Disco, and want to replace the broken head unit - preferably with a tape deck model compatible with the existing underseat Philips CD autochanger.

Do I need to look for an exact replacement? Or would the Alpine Disco 2 model work just as well? The compatibility with the CD player is key - all else negotiable.

Thanks in advance!

SD.

Tape? CD? MP3 on a USB is the way forward!!!!

Ah, but note the vital fact...this is my parents' LR... If they could get an in car record player, they would!

Only a Philips head unit will be compatible with the existing underseat Philips-CD autochanger.

Something like this one.

There is one on ebay at mo ends in just under 1hr item number 180791617881.
Hope this helps.

if you need one let me know pretty certain thats what mine was that iv just removed from disco.

Ok, thanks, that's all very interesting and helpful.

Paulmitchell - if you could verify that it is indeed the same model, and has the code, I would be very interested.

Cheers.

Hi,

Sorry to bump this, but does anyone perchance know which model of Philips head unit was fitted to Tdi Safaris?

As far as I can tell there were two types in circulation - the amr1782lnf which needs an amplifier, and the amr2195, which has the amp built in.

Cheers.

Hi
I have a 1995 ES disco it has a subwoofer in the back door,tweeters in the A pillars a AMR 3154 multi changer and remote switches behind the steering wheel does anyone know what model the head unit is I already know it maybe a Phillips and will any of the Disco 2 units be compatible with what is already installed
Regards
Diane

Disco 2 units are Alpine as far as I know, not Phillips so no is the short answer.
