    I tried copy/pasting your query into Google so that I could helpfully say "copy/paste your query into Google", but your spelling is rubbish.

    So, learn to spell the important words in your query, and then type them into a Google search.

    Hope this helps!

    Definitely google it and check. I got the adapters for an Alfa 156. First you need to buy the cable/little control box for your car, then you need to buy the right lead for the type of radio you have.

    I got out of it for about €35 in the end.

    some info here:

    OP, there is a similar thread here from yesterday (Thursday) started by a guy with a Megane looking to do the same thing. There's various solutions, you could get a head unit that will work with a little add on or get a third party module.

    But bear in mind, its fairly tricky to do and won't work with the higher end radios. At least the Renault Clio one won't.

    if you have problems getting a multistalk interface to work i build interfaces. Can supply one for kenwood/pioneer or alpine head units for about 60 euro, built one for my kia sorento to my kenwood navigation head unit, works excellently
