Incartec Head Unit Adapter And The C3

[mmmonkey]

Hi

 

Yep, I'm new here - found the forums after we bought a second hand 03 reg C3 sx. The foums have answered many of my questions just by spending a little bit of time reading old posts - so thanks!

 

Our C3 currently has the standard Clarion head unit in it, I can't decide whether to go down the adding the dash cd changer, or putting my JVC CD/MP3 head unit in.

 

I understand that I'll need various adapters to add an aftermarket. I keep seeing the main one - an InCarTech 28-650 with support for the C3's multiplex - has anyone on here used this adapter?

 

If so, how happy was your car with it installed - does everything else still function properly - I've read about:

 

Fuel computers not working once stereos have been replaced?

Does the display in the middle of the dash still work (I know it won't show stereo info - but does it still display the time/date)?

If, at a later date, I wanted to re-install the original head unit - will it plug back in and work straight away (will the car and stereo remember that they once were paired together)?

 

Many thanks

Pete

Don't know about the adaptor as I have wired mine myself, the center display works as normal and if you put the oringal radio back in it works, I put mine back to take it for recent recall and it worked fine.

One thing to do is to turn the radio off at the power switch before removal some people have had problems if they did not do that.
