harmony to symphony

keith52 · 27th February 2007, 06:51

i'm thinking of upgrading my symphony to a harmony unit and was wondering whether its a simple as a straight swop ( probably not ), the cd changer is already fitted in the glove box Cheers Keith

Upgrading Symphony to Harmony...?

Do you mean Harmony to Symphony?

In the pecking-order of headunit's, the Harmony rates below the Symphony. Then you get the Symphony with lo-line navigation and at the top is the HighLine Navigation System.

Keith - if you mean Harmony to Symphony (as Simon D. suggests) then yes it's a straight swap, except you'll need the wiring adapter VUL100330 - about £40 from Rimmers. Unless of course you already have it.

PS. VUL100330 has a connector for the glovebox CD changer. Sound quality from the Symphony is much better than the Harmony btw.

It will sound so much better as harmony was made by phillips and symphony by alpine

Thanks both , yes i meant vice versa

, i'll be taking the unit out of a breaker so can i use the loom from that ?

Yup.

You might need to remove the glove box (torx bits needed!) and possibly the heater controls, it depends which route the loom section takes

Hi, on the same lines I to would like to upgrade my head unit. I currently have a harmony head unit, kenwood 6 disc cd changer in the boot and steering wheel controls.Ideally I would like to fit a new head unit incorporating sat nav, is this possible without having to go through any extensive retrofitting, preferably off the shelf straight into the dash. If this is not possible could I slot a symphony unit straight in. Heres hoping, Tochni
