hi all im new to posting on the forums so sorry in advance if this is in the wrong location.

I have a rover 75 club se i believe, with a harmony head unit and i am looking into getting this item from ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/250870681231?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_3206wt_905
which has the following connetors at the backhttp://autos.fsehome.com/proImage/big2011320132218223.jpg

but i have the 17 pin bmw connector with a parrot SOT lead which converts the main loom into the two iso leads which is what i need.

but how do i connect the steering wheel controls to this unit as it has the yellow/green/blue mini iso plugs on it??:shrug:

thank you for any help you can give as i would like this head unit with the steering wheel controlls working but worst case i will have it with out

hi all i have deceided to get the unit from radio guy and not from ebay as i found out it does not have TMC as that is extra.

They are charging 339.99+16.50 p&p for it with only RDS

Where as radio guy has them for £328.46 with TMC and RDS

but can any suggest the maps i.e what is the differance between igo8 and tony fry primo??

is there anything i need to get other than that, i know about the TMC mod mark uk does and i am looking into that, and the dvb-t unit looking at one on ebay for £35.

is there any one on here with a unit from radio guy who has had to buy additional hardware?

any help much apprieciated

john (sidderzz)

P.S sorry for the spelling :D

For the maps get igoPrimo-I've had two of these headunits(I left one in my 190 when I sold it) The first had igo8 and the one I've got now has igoPrimo. Primo is well worth the extra money in my opinion.
