Does anyone know how hard it would be to change the Headunit in a 03 xsara desire and what extra kit i'd need to buy other than the headunit?
I don't want to make the mistake i made with my KA where i put a too powerfull headunit in and blew the stock speakers (I think i had the windows right down on a hot day and turned it up to drown the noise out on the motorway, it was a while ago) :nono: :rolleyes:
The KA has an amp driving aftermarket speakers but I can't be bothered to rip it all out as it's a right PITA to rewire. (to lazy to take the door panels off)
From memory the stock cd-player in the xsara is standard DIN size, but I'd probably need to buy a wiring kit and then some kind of adaptor to make the stalk thing on the steering coloum work with a 3rd party HU.
Or perhaps if it's easier and costs about the same, I could get an Ipod/mp3 player adaptor or cd changer for the stock one?
Tbh I don't care for changing speakers and stuff thesedays but i prefer to have a larger selection of music available than just 1 cd holds without fumbling around looking for a certian disk so any help would be apprciated.
