Fitting a Highline system to my car
Hi guys, I recently purchased a Highline head unit and a factory CD changer for my 75 .I know the CD changer will fit as I have the wiring for it still in the glovebox so one of the previous owners must have removed it. I know people are going to go "why not use a modern system" or "why not leave it as it is" and I have a very good reason for this: I want optional extras but anything new is horrible and bad.
Anyway I was wondering if anyone knows if it'll power up and still play my cassettes/regular radio for my dad who drives it fairly often as I'm still not even old enough to drive on my provisional... I've heard you can also get 1) A digital TV tuner for these, so the TV will work again 2) A newer sat nav disc to put in the sat nav system If anyone knows where to get a good one of either of these or has any experience with them please let me know! If anyone has a sat nav box or any of the aerials needed for one that they'd like to sell me then that would also be great! Last edited by finnjb; 6th August 2022 at 19:19..

Is that you on Facebook with the one in Moonstone Green over Aubergine? I think I was talking to you a bit yesterday funnily enough. Lovely car by the way, would love to see it in person at some point!

Yes that’s me. She’s the only one left in that colour combo. The old girl needs a lot of work but will be back on the road soon hopefully.

I went to the hassle of fitting a hi line system to my old ZT. It was a massive ache and to be honest a pretty antiquated system. I bought a A-sure head unit from ebay for my next ZT and the head unit looks very similar the the original hi line system plus the sound was far superior. You can easily add a digi box plus it plays DVDs with surround sound.
If your still mad on fitting the system you will need all the loom and the brackets plus the rear window elements are different on a Hi line car and is used as the aerial for the sat nav. |
