Here I am afternoon off....
The old radio came out like a dream, thanks to the instructions here but, went to match up the wiring blocks and...they are totally different......
I mean totalLy different.
Is there a conversion kit I can buy from my local Halfords / e bay ?
I am totally stumped, I just thought it was a case of swooping them over...oops..
Also I have a black 'extra' aerial lead....anyone any ideas what this might be ?

If the connectors that are in the car are round you will need an adapter like this. (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ISO-STEREO-RADIO-ADAPTOR-WIRING-LEAD-ROVER-75-99-/330459890925?pt=UK_Cars_Parts_Vehicles_Terminals_C abling_ET&hash=item4cf0f1c4ed)
If that's the case I have a spare one in the garage you can have for nothing if you want it.

The extra black lead you have on the DD is for the TMC functionality.
You either need to buy a splitter or a TMC mod Kit and then you will have live traffic information stright into either IGO or Primo..

Hi Rebecca,
If you still want it I can pop it in the post tomorrow, if you want let me have your address and I'll get it sorted for you.
You might be able to get a refund from Halfords if that ones no good.

Hi Andy,
That is very kind of you ...
I went and ordered a rover one from eBay...something like £2 Inc postage !!
Have a feeling the Halfords one will be going back.
Thanks again Andy.
