Aftermarket head unit - what happens to the top dash display?



I've just thought, if I get an aftermarket head unit, will say "Radio 1" be displayed on the little screen at the top of the dash?

thanks
 
  Now Sold :-(
Depends on the head unit you buy. Some supply a patch cable that supports the display most do not.
Mine just says "Renault" with the time and temp display.

Contact MT Audio in the trader section on here. I have found him to be very helpful.

I have a stalk & diusplay lead for my alpine and the whole thing works as normal.

but it was £70 quid at the time and MT say they're hard to find.


Simply ,there's a high probability you wont get that display working if you get a new HU

Alpine did do a display&stalk adaptor, I've got one in the Vee. Expensive but good bit of kit.

For the OP, Parrot haven't released any hands-free adaptor at all for the Asteroid yet, although apparently it's "in the works". I've got that Headunit in the 172, again brilliant bit of kit. I'm not holding my breath for the hands-free solution though, the one Parrot released for their older generation head-unit was never compatible with clio 172/182 anyway :(

when i fitted my alpine headunit with steering wheels controls the dash screen just said alpine

Yep, you can get stalk adaptors easy enough and for a pitence.

you want the display to keep going, you'll need to fork out some more, and find the right lead

Might aswell give up on this, not made at all anymore for Alpine and no other brand supports display anymore, I have 1 stalk and display adapter but that only works with the top alpine units
