One of my older cars has had its original radio replaced with a Eurovox head unit in the pic from my guess the early 90s. Is similar to the OEM radio my 94 D1 had.

I have searched and searched the internet with this pic to try and find the model number without any luck. Not keen on pulling it out just yet but I may have to if no one recognises it.

So anyone know the model number of this radio.
184989

Thanks

Eurovox radios were fitted to several OEMs in the 80s and 90s including Holden.
I had them fitted to BMWs when i was working for BMW Australia.
Go tech bought their entire stock of parts when they discontinued.

Thanks to your pointers Go-Tech got back to me and it is a Eurovox MCC-9280.

So one step forward - googling that I found Kev Chants website and was able to download the Service Manual but he does not have the user manual. Go Tech does not have it.

More googling drew a blank as there is not even one page on the search.

I need to keep looking but have made a little progress.

Ditch it and buy a mechless unit with Bluetooth Carplay etc..
The Eurovox was a great radio in it's time as it has 10 Microvolts AM sensitivity versus just about anything else with 20microvolts so you can pick up AM in the country. Moot point these days as LED traffic lights and solar installations just stuff up AM..
But modern ones are so much better even though crap on AM..
It is not original so nostalgia only goes so far.
For what it's worth from a very past ICE manager for Sanyo who tested this stuff for a living, and later BMW manager who fitted Eurovox to BMWs when they landed in Australia. ( because of Customs Duty implications)
