How to install a new radio?

Aug 24, 2003 3 Replies

I want to install a new stereo into my 1996 Range Rover. I can't seem to find anything that will fit it in the Crutchfield catalog, so I assume that there must be some sort of adapter available or something. Can anyone offer me some advice in this matter?



Thanks so much.

hi

Halfords might be worth a try they have many adapters for stereo systems K

Another place to try might be a Charlie Browns. I bought a CD/MP3 player that needed an ISO harness. Nope, didn't know what it was either but the lads I spoke to were happy enough to explain, and sell to me :)

MP3 player was a Goodmans £99.99 one from Argos if anyones interested. Works well, sometimes has to recover itself over bumps as a CD player but the MP3 side of it is much more stable, I'm guessing that's down to the way it reads the files.

All the best

RR radio is a standard DIN size unit, but with 'special' flanges on the front face to fir the dash panel. Your new radio will slide straight in and a trip to Halfords will get you some little plastic filler flates to cover the gap either side of the radio (normally covered by the flanges on the RR radio). Cost a few pounds only.
