Does anyone know if there is an adaptor to go between my disco 2 and any particular brand of aftermarket head unit to save me soldering or twisting wires to make it work?
In advance, cheers to all who respond :)

Yes. The 'factory' radio is a locally supplied unit from Eurovox (unless you have an ES model). There's a link lead between the factory harness & the radio. The factory harness end is a standardised plug so most decent auto shops (Repco can anyway) will be able to get an adaptor to suit your radio of choice.
I think the adaptor harness brand is Aeropro (or something like that).

I think what I have is the ES model or at least that's what it was advertised as but there's no badges or anything I can find stating it's an ES. What are the telltale signs it is an ES? Again, forgive my ignorance.

ES models have electric seats, leather, sunroof.....

If you let me know the last 6 of the VIN & I'll check to see what it is.

Mr Scouse is right - aerpro make harnesses to fit most current brands. Most Landrovers are built with a standard harness and then they make an adaptor for each type of radio supplied in each country. Mostly it is Euro iso on the LR end- I use a Kenwood- euro iso harness.

Thanks Baz but I'm thinking something with the ability to link up with my iPhone, all the music I own is on there so a few hours, days, weeks of listening.
Cheers mate

Whilst we are on the subject...
Does any know if the steering wheel controls are standardised between manufactures, and if so, do these after-market harnesses support the steering wheel controls ?

I'm not sure about the LR's but I know that with my previous car when I changed the head unit I had to buy a specific brand of stereo to maintain the use of the steering wheel controls. I chose not to and to be honest, most head units have remotes and it's more habit than anything reaching to the stereo to turn it up or change stations etc.

Thanks heaps ScottYou DO have an ES so the radio is a UK fitted one, not a Eurovox.
