Fitting Aftermarket Head Unit to New Clio

[craig182]

I realise this is newbie territory, sorry ... but my 182 hasnt arrived yet so bear with me (slowest weeks of my life!! ... anyway).

Do you need a dashboard adapter to fit a different head unit? Im guessing you do, so my first question is does it look ok. If anyone has any photos I would REALLY appretiate it (I guess any clio after 2001 will be the same???)

Also, I spotted lots of bargain sony units on Ebay but they seem to all come from the US. Im not a big radio fan so this may not be a problem but do they have RDS?, and if so does it RDS work with all chanels? I guess I am asking a bit much at this point so where can I get cheap UK units from? (with I hope fully working RDS/Radio)

Cheers all!

No you dont need anything itll go straight in.

Dunno about the rds but they are definitly different. Try http://www.mcs-direct.co.uk/http://www.mcs-direct.co.uk/ for decent uk deals.

Brilliant!

Does they blend in well then? (Im looking at CDXM8800 or something similar I think)

Photos anyone?

Us units wont have rds, they have different frequencies for radio so you prob wont get that to work, Alpine units allow you to switch but Im unsure about any others.
