Adapters for Head Unit

[sh33n]

What adapters do I need if I want my new head unit to work with my steering control, and display the usual info on the clio display (as well as on the head unit of course).

Can anyone point me to an online store?

Ive tried looking on caraudiodirect.co.uk but there doesnt seem to be any on there.

Its an 03 172 Mk2 Cup btw

Cheers.

Got the same problem as well my friend

dont think u an get the display to work from an aftermarket head unit.

 

[sh33n]

Ahh, oh well no worries, how about the steering controls? Surely theres an adapter out there somewhere??

Or does it just work when you plug a head unit in?

 

[fUbAr]

yes, halfords do them. depends on make of head unit.

Is that just for the steering control I take it?

nope, you have to have a separate adaptor for the display also, but not all manufacturers make them for the clio

I was thinking of getting a Kenwood, worked good in the old punto, and its around half the price as a similar Alpine (yer I know they look nicer, and are better, but still price!)

Go to http://www.caraudiodirect.comwww.caraudiodirect.com they have them all in there.

It is under Steering Controls and you have to buy both the Radio And the Vehicle Controller. Got it on mine so it says Alpine on the display when not doing anything

 

[bambam1]

IIRC then you can get the adaptor for both of them (screen & stalk controls), i cant remember the exact codes, but there will be peopl eon here that should be able to help

there was an FAQ on here a while back for part numbers, but it seems to have been removed as a sticky thread

Ah just found it on there, is this the one I need:

http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=3474&osCsid=3ac8ebd8da50bc40ad455bc7f5201fadlink

 

[bambam1]

you should need two adaptors, combnied price in the region of £50

 

[sh33n]

Vehicle Interface: £31.99
Radio Interface £4.99

Total: £36.98

Does that sound about right?

 

[bambam1]

sounds very likely, if i were you id check with the lads at sound supreme that you have the correct part numbers, though dont buy from them, as they are a little expensive at times

though the price seems about right, will only be for the stalk controls though

 

[George16v]

yeah thats right matey.
