Radio

Hi
I've recently bought a Stilo JTD, and i'm allready tired by the poor radio that comes with the car (cassette/radio).
Does anybody know if it's possible to switch to another radio, and still have the infoboard working with radio details?
Fiat would like to charge the same amount for a mp3/radio, that it would cost to buy a radio with navigation.

Re: Radio

I have a Kenwood and have had two in my stilo. never displayed info on dash, just head unit screen, however, I always have my MPG display on so I couldnt car less.

Also sometimes the date is handy!

Cern, I have a JTD with a cd/radio that was factory fitted. I am about to put the cd/radio on e.bay as I have fitted a new head unit. If you want it then make me an offer. It realy will plug in and display all the channel details as your present one.

Its not a hard thing to live without when you've got a kicking head unit to make up for it!
