Replacement radio, I am confused.com

mikeart · 18th April 2012, 08:43

Hi, folks I am trying to find an original radio for my 2004 Rover 75 classic, one that will work with a steering wheel stalk, I have found this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ROVER-MG-C...item1e6d20132e would this work in my car? or perhaps this one? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SIEMENS-VD...item43aebe9226

Another member did give some advice, but I have sort of lost the plot, as to which radio I asked about, if I am repeating my self I am sorry, regards Mike.

That is what I removed from my facelift when I fitted Radioguys DD unit.

Which one do you mean ?

I think the two radio's are the same.. Buy the cheap one.

The VDO CD413X will fit your facelift 75 and the steering wheel controls will work ok providing someone hasn't altered the wiring.

The VDO 413X was a replacment for the Ivox headunit,

Or fit a Symphony & a CD changer. These imho are better quality (made by Alpine) and look better in the dash as they are DD size. Will work with wired steering wheel controls.

Have to agree, the Symphony looks and sounds better then the CD413X.

There are a couple of wires to change over if you go down the Symphony road.

Just follow this "how to"

Did you get the symphony in the link? If so a £60 is a good price. Consider fitting the SLE mod at some point as it boosts the bass.
