Thought i would post some pics of my Cabasse stereo upgrade, from behind !!! Thank you to WEsts Garage, Bedford who pulled the stereo out for me.

As some of you are aware, this lovely :twisted: stereo runs on a canbus lead, which basically means, that i can not fit an after market stereo, as it runs off one wire.

As you will be able to see from the pics, there isn't even an antenna cable !!!!

One final thing -- THANK YOU RENAULT :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

thats the same connection on the back of the 6 disc changer i got in mine, the green one that is.

is this the same MP3 player unit that comes with the new meggys? my car has the standard single cd player, not like this (doesnt have canbus or whatever). I want to fit the new mp3 player unit. does anyone know if it can be done?

How easy is it to pull the stereo out. I have a facelift 225 with MP3 player and will pull it out for a photo shoot. (the mp3 player) and post.

not sure mate, i got renault to do it for me.

I know you need the special tools for it.

real easy matey. if you not got any of the proper keys just get 2 small screw drivers that will go in the holes and just push them n far enough till they go click, then do the other side and it will just slide out, 5 min job to do, or go to halfords and buy the keys for it , they look like to big U shape keys, think they are for fords as well.

different keys needed for the cabasse unit.

So what was the upgrade Dave?

 

[Alex]

the guys at incartek are developing a set of leads for the stereo.

 

[BlackRat250]

the upgrade is the cabasse unit. all in one 6 cd changer, radio etc.

Alex, bout bloody time someone's taken it on to develop. Be interesting to see how they get on.

I ain't convinced it's on the CAN-BUS. I could be wrong, but the investigations I have made lead me to believe it's not.

Once I get all the facts I will post everything I have.....including the upgrade method I used.

You think my units not on the canbus unit?

Good luck arguing with Renault.

I would try and trace that radio wire as far back as you can, i wouldn't be surprised if its normal iso on the end of them!

No point, Renault have said its a canbus wire. Goes straight to the ECU.
