piecost76 Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Hi, I have an aftermarket stereo in my Disco TDi & the volume button on the unit does not increase. Does anyone know what leads etc I need to reconnect the dashboard mounted stereo controls? Failing that, anyone with a cheap CD stereo? Thanks, Ivor.

BogMonster Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I would just get a new one, there are cheap online retailers if you search on Google and you can get a decent single CD receiver for well under £100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickm Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Dont think you can use the dash mounted controls you just haft to reach a bit further to turn it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotal Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 The dash mounted controls are useless big clunky buttons, that you can't see because the steering wheel hides them (it does on the 300tdi anyway) They are a carp after thought, I find it easier to use the buttons on the stereo. I've not seen any leads which will link them up, but Sony used to do a lot of leads to link up with various cars. I'd give up and ignore the buttons and if you are saying the headunit itself doesn't work then get a cheap MP3 CD head unit - You can pick them up for under £60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teabag Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I would suggest that armed with the model number u take a trip down to Halfords as they have a stock of various interface plugs & sockets, or have a look on the internet at sites such as this. http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/default.asp I have the standard unit but don't bother with the dash controls some of them are hidden by the steering wheel and then only work sometimes doing the opposite of what they are surposed to do.

Godlykepower Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Got a Kenwood head coming out of my Defender next week that you can have if you want? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
