Replacing Stereo In '53 Plate Lx

[Guest bywood]

Hi, about to swap out the stereo on my '53 plate Citroen C3 LX for a Sony CDXGT610U with iPod adaptor.

 

Shop tell me the dash display won't work but steering column controls should.

 

Has anyone swapped the stereo and if so are there any things I should be looking out for. Also, anyone provide some advice on how to pop the stereo out of the dash in the first instance as I've had an initial look and nothing obvious apparent!!

 

Cheers,

I changed mine around 12 months ago then decided to put the original back! I had endless problems like central locking not working boot wouldn't open and the screen which tells you which doors are open stuck all the time which is scary when you have a child in the back. Even though child locks were on there is that element of doubt with other electrics not working all the time. All i did was go out a buy a lead off ebay that plugs into your spare 12v that will work my ipod t tunes its self to the radio wasn't that expensive either saves having loads of cds on display in the car too! Suppose its just what works better for yourself.

To pop it out you need special pins or a wire coat hanger bent to fit the four holes they are easy to pop out unlike in the corsa.

Anyway just my opinion
