Sounds interesting! I think I can see the answer implied in the extract I quote above, but if I may ask: I gather it's plug-and-play, i.e. whatever standards the cabling of the factory radio is set up for are the same as the replacement unit? So you unplug old, plug in new, and away you go? And you don't need any sort of adaptor lead in the middle?

I note that Mud sell an adaptor lead (including a variant for the Puma) and I am wondering what sort of installs that would be needed for. Not here?

Fascia size isnt the issue its the depoth I need to know but.


By the way what are you doing with your old radio?

Vlad,
I just installed a double din fascia and Alpin double din unit in my My 15 Puma. The Alpine is pretty deep!

Also, I've got the Alpine that came out of my wagon if you're interested.

Cheers,
Neo

Is that a Land Rover branded Alpine seeing as it came out of a brand new car...?

Cheers,

Lou

I have a 2012 and didn't need an adapter - both the car and head unit use ISO standard.

The bugger of it is that I I got an ICOM UHF and its deeper than I expected. I was hoping to fit a DIN radio plus a UHF in the mud console - which would have worked fine with a GME, but the ICOM is deeper. Bugger I've already had all the electrical wiring and UHF aerial cabling wired in....... now what....


Sigh

You don't need any adaptors or anything. Unplug the original radio. Plug in the new radio. Turn it on & listen!! Well, that's how it was with the FUSION.

Seriously - it is the easiest job in the world once you've managed to get the old radio out.

It's in a box in my loft and I'll probably re-discover it in 5 years time and wonder why I didn't put it on eBay when I first pulled it out!!
