Replacing car radio (Renault Clio)

carlos11 · 2015-11-04 09:13:35

Hi there, I have an original radio in my 2005 Renault clio at the moment. I'm looking to swap it out for one that has an auxiliary port. Do I need to replace the whole unit or can I just get the front panel? Any advice much appreciated. I'm clearly an amateur but would be keen to give it a try myself. Many thanks

05 might be new model Clio. They ran the old model alongside it till 2010. Think they're the same idea for getting out either way.

If it were me, I'd want to keep the steering wheel controls and eye level display, so I'd keep the original headunit in there and use something like an xcarlink or dension icelink or maybe a parrot kit that would give audio-in and bluetooth functionality too.
