After Market Radio

[Kfordric]

Well im a newbe here and just got myself a 99 Disco II. Have loved the Rovers for a couple years and landed me a great buy so i picked it up. But i have one question I have an Apline Head unit that i just bought for my old car about 3 months ago is there anyway to hook it up to the rovers 10 speaker system. I heard you cannot add aftermarket radios and dont know how true this is so take it easy on me. thanks

you can but if you have a stock amp then your in trouble at least it will be more of a pain, you have to reroute the wires back to the headunit. as for adding 10 speakers to a stock deck you would want a amp to take care of that not the headunit, I just got a disco also and have been huge into stereo's for a very long time (installing) but I haven't gotten motivated enough to mess with this one, I kinda wanted to add subs in the rear, but I believe these cars have factory amps that run the speakers so it isn't a simple swap headunit thing, you litterally have to bypass all the wires and take out the stock amp. I did that same job in my BMW I had a few years ago and it wasn't fun, trust me, any good stereo store can do it but instead of the $30 headunit install it would be closer to $100 for the headunit itself. then the amp to run the 10 speakers. If you electircally inclined then do it yourself that is what I always did and you learn tons

I know the adapter will help you with all of the regular speakers, I am not sure about the sub(s), it is good to get anyway though...you can get them in the US easily too if that makes any difference. I have a disco I so its not going to be the same but I was able to hookup all of the regular speakers directly, then bought an amp and a new sub, was easier to me than rewiring the old ones....but again mine was is a D1 so my subs were older...(worn out) But I know that a good Audio shop will do the whole install for around $100 bucks....sometimes it is just worth it to have it all done for you, if it is a good shop.

I just bought a 97 Disco and it has an after market pioneer MP3 player installed. It also has the 6 disc changer but it doesn't look like they connected it to the head unit. I wondering if anyone out there knows of an easy way to do this.

BTW, the aftermarket Pioneer looks great and sounds fantastic.
