Thread: D3 Radio Replacement

I replaced my radio with a double DIN Pioneer AVH 275BT

Needed an ISO adaptor and a steering wheel button adaptor

Works fine including hands free phone

Probably should also mention it depends on what audio system your car has, as to how hard integration will be, ie amplifier and canbus etc

With aftermarket head unit you wont be able to adjust the clock in the dash and possibly other functions, you can get from ebay a fascia kit with adapter loom to keep some of the factory look.

Thanks mate - where did you get the ISO adaptor and steering wheel button adaptor ?

Excuse my ignorance - Ive just bought a used D3 and was wondering whether their would be any issues in taking the radio/CD out and replacing it with a non-OEM system with IPhone capability so I can play music and make hands free calls? Or would I be better off installing a Parrot and running everything through that? Thanks for your help.

thanks for taking the time to reply - I meant to ask in my earlier reply whether anything was affected e.g. clock, diagnostic port etc - it's just that I've heard some varying views on how "dangerous" it is.

Best Regards

I got mine on ebay from UK. I just checked my purchase history but it was too long ago to show in the lst
This is a similar one suitable for the basic non amplified non Harmon Kardon head. Check compatibility with your particular vehicle/entertainment head

Thanks Grappler - I don't have the Harmon Kardon head so this looks like it will be useful. Did you lose any functionality when you put the new head in e.g. dashboard clock, programming default settings etc or does everything work like it did before?

Best Regards

I put a Enon double din unit in (Chinese). Unit comes with GPS antenna, Internet antenna for wireless internet works extremely well) and a mix of cables for power etc It also works with a reverse camera. Purchased install kit from UK which came with mounting frame and jumper cable to utilise existing radio/antenna cables. Yes you lose the clock but the new unit has a clock, it also starts up with Land Rover logo as well. Had it 12 months and no problem
