Hello from the Antipodes.
I have just bought a late 2005 Connoisseur 2.5 V6 auto to keep my 1999 Connoisseur company!
The new car has an Iovox CD80 single CD system which seems inferior to the Symphony system with 6 CD player in the older car.
Was this a cost saving exercise when the end of Rover was looming?
Can the symphony unit be substituted without too much hastle!

I completely changed from harmony to Symphony in less than a hour, both radio unit plus CD unit,but I was lucky as the alternative wiring was in place for both units,plus access is easy,replacement not a problem.
YOur problem might be that as Rover faltered, the duplicated wiring systems were no longer continued,but its a 10 minute job to find out.....if it is there, then no problem,and again lots of HOW TO on site,hope this helps,good luck Derek
