Thread: Stereo Wiring Harness Disco 2005

I think the current harness is referred to as an ISO connection. My understanding is you can do it, but I haven't as yet. If I do it will be to replace the unit with an iPod connected one.

If you go to a good car audio fitter (not one that just does doof-doof stuff but more the audiophile) you will probably get some good advice on what is needed.

I used an iso to jvc head unit harness in my disco made by Aerpro available from autobarn for $15.

Did it still allow the steering wheel controls to work?

Can you give a part number/name?

IIRC the part no. for mine was APP8PIO as I was installing a Pioneer HU and they doen't list LR Vehicles on their site.

Fantastic, that'll make life easier, no soldering iron!

Does the JVC unit just slot in as a replacement for the current unit, or do you need a new fascia plate or anything like that?

My next question was going to be about the steering wheel controls for volume and band, anyone got any good tips for getting them to work?

Forgot a bit sorry. I don't have steering wheel controls so can't provide advice on that area. I know mine has the wiring should I wish to retro fit the buttons but not sure how she would work. Perhaps new HU are designed with steering wheel controls in mind considering they are more common now compared to when my HU was released...some 6 years ago.

Does anyone have a tip as to how to get the CD player out of the Disco, I can only see some holes that don't look like they have screws, do I need some sort of tool?
