General What Stereo

[StiloBoy]

Pretty sure you don't need an ISO converter if you just connect RED & YELLOW together. You'll need to manually switch the radio on/off but otherwise should be OK.

Don't mess with the CAN bus though as that can never be used on after market stuff

Looked into this now, not ideal, don't want to have to think about switching off the stereo when I switch off the ignition. So I guess my only option is to run a feed from the switched live! Hate using scotch locks, worst damn things every. I picked so many of them out the loom of my mini when I bought it.

Screw it, would I just be better buying this?

Anyone tried it with the Stilo? Would actually suite me fine if it does work.

I've gone through a few H.U's really liked the pioneer stuff as it gives you a lot more options when doing sound staging etc..

currently have the pioneer DEH 9800BT

bluetooth, 2 aux imputs and a full set of 3 RCA's means i can have the front and rear speakers amplified and a sub.

I don't think this model exists any more though.

I had this for nearly 2 years and i loved every bit of it. Then i sold it and went for a double din Sony XAV-W1. Looks good but to be honest, the sound is nowhere near as good as the Pioneer. Plus, i imported it from america, cost me about 350 quid. Think its a bit out of the price range though...
