Im looking to upgrade the radio/Tape unit in this car to a used CD/MP3 one. I assume from what I have read that under the facia plate is a Din hole for a standard replacement unit which when combined with a facia plate will take care of the appearance.
Its the wiring that concers me. Does the vehicle have standard wiring or do I need adapters ? if so which are cheapest , will the column/stalk still work,
Im planning to keep costs to a minimum.
All help appreciated.

I looked at this a few months ago.
You'll need to get a head unit which supports remote control (ie. from a stalk unit). This will have its own interface. You'll then need an adaptor for the head unit and one for the stalk/car. These adaptors have a common interface between them, allowing a range of head units/stalks etc to be combined.
Many of the cheaper ones didn't support the required remote/stalk control. I think the pricing was around £130 for a reasonable one, with all the adaptors, and fascia plate.
Hope that helps
