Thread: Nexxia radio fitting kits for P38A

I'm about to order one of these aftermarket radio fitting kits for the P38A - see Range Rover Fitting Kits | Nexxia UK.



Anyone who has looked at fitting another radio in an early P38A (fitted with a Clarion radio) knows of the hassles. This looks to be a way around it albeit not a cheap way. Unfortunately, the steering wheel controls will no longer work but the new radio has a remote....

This option is for the Clarion as, apparently, the P38A with the Alpine radio (post-1999) doesn't need any kit. See Range Rover P38 Radio Harmon Kardon | Nexxia UK

Why I'm posting this info is that postage is quite high so if anyone wants me to get one for them (or something else from Nexxia) at the same time, speak now.

Thanks Remy.

I fitted the new radio today using the Nexxia kit. Basically it was plug'n'play. I had to shift one pin in a connector on the radio (not the Nexxia kit) to get 12v to tell the P38A's amps to power up. If Nexxia had provided a spare pin, I wouldn't have needed to do that.

All went well except for some low level buzz in all speakers. I'm not sure how I'll find that.

Unfortunately, I no longer have steering wheel controls.

The radio I'm using has a slot for an iPod inside it. One controls the iPod from the head unit knobs. We had a spare iPod that wasn't being used so I'm now filling it up with music.
