xantia radio's

Post by harryp »

Hi all,
I'm trying to source parts for my exclusive hdi project and want to know if the radio pictured here taken from a post --
http://www.frenchcarforum.co.uk/forum/v ... th#p417094" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; --
will fit into a year 2000 hdi and work with the existing boot mounted CD changer. The car does not have one, and the handbook picture is very different and similar to the one in my 2000 hdi forte. I have absolutely no idea what car the radio is out of, but was told it was fitted in a 2000 hdi sx. I don't want to buy it and find it will not fit!
Can anybody help please?
Regards,
Harry

Yes, it will fit.

In my opinion, and it's only an opinion mind, I'd not bother searching for one, but rather buy a decent cheapo headunit which will play CDs and MP3s (from a USB stick) and the cable to allow it to work with the steering wheel controls. My reasoning - those radios are now going to be 14 years or more older, weren't that great in the first place - no aux input for a start, and you can fit a load more music on an MP3 CD or USB stick than you can on a normal CD, and they don't jump either.

Ive got about three sets of those head units and boot cd changer kits for xantias..

go carefully.. does your exsisting car have the radio with a flap on it? If so you will need a mounting frame for the flush face radio in your link..

check the end of the cd changer lead at the radio end. It MUST be a circular connector. Black 16 pin or 17 IIRC..

Thanks to Northern Mike, C.Morewood and CitroenXM.
Ahem, I forsee problems....! Seems the radio on offer is face mounted and no flap then.The Exclusive (March 2000) DOES have a drop down flap, as does the Forte(Nov 2000). The Plugs showing in the empty radio aperture are; one square (yellow) and two rectangular, one black, one white plus Aerial lead. I take it that this means that the radio will NOT be a direct fit? The current radio in the Forte seems to work OK, so for now the easy way out is to keep it the same - and I note C.Morewood comments - maybe later...!! The radio in question was from a W reg SX, date unknown (presume earlier??) and now gorn to the scrappy I'm told. Does any one have the correct radio for sale? (If Malcolm has one, I do visit North Wales reasonably frequently and require a few more bits anyway.)
Thanks guys, Regards

The important thing is which one was fitted originally.

radios with a flapped front were phillips and used a different connector for the steering wheel controls.. though the clarion flush fit radio will fit and work fine with the black and white plugs the sterring wheel controls wont work.

however if yours had the clarion and its simply missing then it justcneeds putting back in.

ive got clarion flush face units with boot mounted cd changers and black connecting leads in the shed. More so. Ill be at our XM 25th annerversery rally at cosford near telford on the 20th and 21st of september for the weekend if you want further advice on hand.. I can bring a set with me and so what we can do.

Just re read your post. You need a phillips unit then to fit in the flapped aperture. . And for the steering wheel controls to work correctly too..

as for cd changer they are different to the clarion units to and have square plugs on them not round black ones.

The unit in the link above is what you need... and that one is in telford too!!

Malcolm,
Thankyou for the technical advice. Nearly bought it!
The one in your link does not have the code, which via the on-line route makes it fairly expensive "IF" he has the registration or VIN.
On the other hand I did read your(?) post regarding finding getting the code off the chip, but sounded a tad iffy for me on my first try!!.... but will re-read it.
Cosford is of course just down the road and is always a good visit.I will be going over both cars next month... so how are you placed for bringing parts down if I need a few?? I imagine you may well be loaded up ?

Paul, Oops, many apologies. Hope I'm forgiven.I definitely require a drivers door aperture seal, probably a drive shaft, odd pipes, height corrector... Have to ready the car(s) for MOT, so will know more when I start on them. Have a load of wood on the lawn to log and split and drawings off to the architect for planning.. the list goes on. Thanks for the news on the radio, will keep looking!
Kind regards.

Paul, do I continue on here regarding parts requirements, or do I start another on spare parts?
regards, confused of Telford.
ps, will be at Cosford Sat and try and ignore the museum. Mind you, it's a 3 hour jaunt to see the lot and that's not lingering too much. Won't be there on Sun as swimbo wants to go to the Game Fair at Weston Park. So little time?
