Yes, and even easier is to buy an Aerpro ISO to (stereo make) adapter loom which makes fitting a new stereo a 5 min job- sold at Autobarn.

Thanks for everyone's suggestions. One final query - If a standard DIN size stereo will fit my car, does it require an kit like the one at this link: (NEW) LANDROVER DISCOVERY INSTALL KIT 1994-04 N.R. - eBay (item 220447331416 end time Aug-03-09 02:21:47 PDT)

in order to cover any gaps??

This online database suggests that it is a non-standard sized opening?????? Find Car Audio/Video Gear that Fits Your Vehicle at Crutchfield!

I am terribly confused, mainly because most installers I have called havent been able to give me a straight up answer!

Hi

I actually bought Waynep's old D1 and had to ditch the stereo and speakers. They just sounded crass and CD changer was missing anyhow.

I did a Pioneer Bluetooth headunit with focal speakers and powered sub under the seat.
Cost was just on @k but sounds great.
Huge improvement as you would expect I guess.
Point is that the installer did not even muck around with any plugs but just cut the wires and in with new unit.

I have all the old parts so should I ever sell her again, I might change it back.

Poor man pays twice. So I suggest you get a good one to start with, guess depend on budget and how much you love your music.

Cheers

You won't need any filling strips with the D1. The UK fitted different radios to us so they might have needed one. There is nothing special about the Land Rover - it's just a single DIN hole.

The D2 is different as it's face follows the dash profile - a filling strip might make it look better but isn't really needed.
