Mk1 Clio Upgraded stereo whilst keeping steering wheel controls.

[Tommykaye]

Hello all, I’m looking to upgrade my Clio mk1 stereo to one that can connect with Bluetooth. I’m not sure what ones I can install whilst keeping the volume controls on the steering column. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks

What about a Bluetooth FM receiver? They’re only a tenner and work really well.

Do they? The ones I’ve used were utterly s**t. I changed it to a Bluetooth module that replaced the cd changer in our old Audi which was tons better, not sure if that is an option for the Clio.

Have you considered buying a better one?

Lol I’ve had a few. Aren’t they all the same cheap Chinese shite in different casings though which spurt out “The brutooth device has connected a successfollay”

Yes I have heard mixed things from the Bluetooth modules but I would ideally like to replace the stereo.

You can get a connects2 for the radio controls to fit to most aftermarket stereos. May be a difference between ph1 and ph2 iirc

Pardon our interruption...

In that case get a Pioneer Bluetooth mechless unit. They’re about the simplest to use. Some manufacturers make things impossible to use when you’re driving!
But then get yourself a wiring adapter for the hand controls and you’re golden.
(If you’re still on standard speakers they will last about 5 songs)
