That might be a euro market thing though as even my 1996 Volvo S90 had that. I've found a supplier near where I'm working who seem to know there stuff though, we'll find out tomorrow. Hopefully, if your reg is "in the system" it will come up with the correct parts for your ride... My vin is just a 7 digit number preceded by the model designation, RR3 in my case. Shown on the information label on the slam panel. This is what is recorded on the v5c 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted August 29 Moderators Report Share Posted August 29 You just know the price of fuel will go up by 5p/L (minimum!) to cover that as well! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted September 5 Author Moderators Report Share Posted September 5 Today I got around to removing the radio head unit which died after 7 years of use...still got a CD in it 😡 and I can't get a peep out of it !!

Many Honda and Rover steering wheels use a two-wire resistance changing system so most aftermarket units can learn the "code" from the wheel buttons. I daresay your Elysion uses the same sort of system. I bought a touchscreen jobby for my CR-V, came with a bespoke fascia piece so it all looks OEM, that would learn the steering wheel controls except i don't have them on the wheel. Did consider trying to retrofit a set of Rover buttons to the wheel but it has an IED on the steering wheel so probably doesn't have the spare ways on the "clock spring" aka rotary coupler. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably does but I still need to know which colour wires do the job in order to connect them to the correct ports. Someone has told me they think the wires are terminated by a jack plug so I will be rooting down inside the dash at the weekend !! I guess I could remove the switch panel from the steering wheel and test back to the radio head position.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted September 5 Moderators Report Share Posted September 5 If you can find out if there is just the standard ISO plugs on the back of the stereo, that will be a good clue. If it does indeed terminate in a 3.5mm jack plug, many aftermarket stereos come with an adaptor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted yesterday at 11:10 AM Author Moderators Report Share Posted yesterday at 11:10 AM Still struggling to find a suitable replacement unit....undecided if I should just buy same again as it lasted seven years...I don't need fancy stuff, the new units don't have cd players in !!!! The wiring plug for the steering is still, as yet unidentified, more poking around needed . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
