I am thinking for replacing the existing radio cassette in my 2002 C3. I have noticed that there are potential expensive problems if it is done wrong.

 

Can someone briefly state what is required e.g. what adapters, facia panels.

I am thinking of buying a Sony CD/MP3 headunit.

 

Does anyone know how the C3 connector differs from a standard ISO connector?

 

Thanks

You may find that the switched +ve and constant +ve feeds need to be reversed dependent on the set your fitting.

 

Also it isnt unussual for the central locking to play up after fitting an after market set. This is due to the 'network wiring' of all the computers. The radio is on the network and once removed can upset the stabillity, additionally if a new radio is plugged into the network wires it can cause short circuit of the network.

 

I would advise haveing the radio installed proffesionally if your worried about damaging anything......incidently i wouldnt ask halfords to fit it.
