Does anyone know what other radio's and CD players will conect up with the steering wheel controls on my XM. The radio/cassett thats OE has just got citroen on it but I think its a clarion.. I want something a bit better quality but I would like to keep the wheel controls.
Thanks
Steve

If you can't find a compatible Radio/CD player.
Try this website :- http://www.caraudioforum.com/vbb2/index.php
Its a world wide forum, but you have to keep track of your post, because it will move down the listing quite fast, alot faster than this site.
Good luck.

If its any help I have a Blaupunkt CD tuner waiting to go into my Xantia, carried forward from my BX. Halfords do both a fiting kit and an adapter for about £24 to make it work with the steering wheel controls. They have a catalogue of these things.

When I wanted something for the Xantia earlier in the year, the most readily available and reasonably priced solution was a Sony head unit and an Autoleads adaptor. www.mcs-direct.co.uk is where I got mine from, they stock the full autoleads range but you have to telephone them to order. They are a lot cheaper than Halfords and the like.

Hi, I think you will find that some of the audio equipement in the XM is made by Clarion, have a look on their web site.

I've certainly seen OE Clarion audio equipment come out of an XM estate - some nitwit at my local scrappy removed one then rejected it because one minor slider was missing, much to the scrapyard owner's annoyance (especially because this character almost certainly knocked it off and lost it during the removal operation - unless it went into his pocket).
