Made my VDO siemens

model no 413x Not bad for £40 and its brand new, there are a couple left on ebay from the same seller, the radios are coded aswell winkeye

sounds really good too, i have it running through a 4channel amp via a high to low input RCA converter sounds great :cool:

comes out of rovers & MG's that some where fitted with the bmw units so as you can imagine the illumination is perfect too

What was up with the last one you had? Was it the Alpine one with the silver knob? (I bought one)
Previously owned loads of old E30s, E34s, a few E36s, E32s, E39s and an E38.

Currently in a diesel Audi - miss me old E30's....

Hi Alex, how did you go about wiring this in, as you can't buy a philips headunit to iso plug (at least I cant find one)
