Only factory fit stereos will work with the display and wheel controls without modification.

Most 'branded' stereos you can get adapters for to drive these, though room is tight behind for the adpaters, so you may not be able to fit both adapters.

Vx in their wisdom reversed 12v and ign wires, so you may need to reverse them.

if the CD Loom is not in place i can provide you with one but it wont reach the boot!!! might get to under the passengers seat but not much further!

i can also tell you how to wire the cdc but so can the boy and other members!
