182 owners in West Midlands..

[Griff]

Im after a favour if possible. I was going to say it will only take 5 minutes but saying things like that on this forum can get a man in trouble...

Anyways.. Im about to buy a 182 head unit to fill the gap in the dash where my HU used to be BUT Ive got doubts it will work as the 172 and 182 HU looms appear to be different.

So has any West Mids 182 owners got 5 mins to spare to either try a 182 head unit in my cup or allow me to look at the 182 connectors?

Youre welcome to have a go with mine. Or I can pull it out when I get home and take a picture of the back of it for you.

The connector for the Autochanger is the same as the 172 units, as I carried over my old one.

Lee if you have a spare 5 mins that would be great. If you still drive past Morecroft every day I could just meet you there. Ive seen a photo and the display/remote connector is different to an extent so I want to know if it will work without the remote (which Im willing to sacrifce)

I can swing that way home if you like. Ill be there around 7 if thats okay? I like to get a bit of GT4 in before I leave work.

I take it youll bring the removal prongs as mine are at home?

 

[Griff]

I have some "home made" prongs but being a new car perhaps we should leave it a day until you have the correct tools?

EDIT - Just realised my "prongs" got left behind in the move.

Wont hurt to give it a try as long as you dont damage the front of it.
