Default Re: Which head units require no wiring harness?

I just finished installing the Blaupunkt London MP48, which was listed as one of the Plug and Play head units.

Well, I'm pleased to report that it really is. I have a base coupe with the Becker base radio. I wanted the ability to play my Ipod, play MP3 CD disks and better sound. Mission accomplished!

I have attached a series of photos showing how easy it is. Shove in two unlock keys. (provided n/c by Crutchfield, or cheap at Wallmart).... Pull the old radio out...... unplug one wired plug and the antenna from the OEM radio....... Insert the Din adapter sleeve included with the radio, it snaps into place..... plug the antenna adapter onto the factory antenna..... Push in the one wired OEM plug into the radio.(same plug,same place on both radios)... Shove it in, it snaps into place and that's it...

Took me 10 minutes... And I am a novice at this type of things.

The silver color of the radio is a decent match. I elected not to paint the black trim ring, as it matches the HVAC controls and te black vents.

The Blaupunkt London MP48, was $149.99 at Crutchfield - a $20.00 coupon credit courtesy of another member, No tax or shipping sharges. Well worth it. Additional features and greatly improved sound. I thought that I was going to have to replace the speakers, but this new radio is a great improvement.
I'm very happy with the sound, and the fact that I didn't screw anything up.

If you are a first-time Crutchfield customer you can get $20.00 off your order by using the following referral code.

pfq22-tufc4-ja7wt .... I also get a $20.00 credit, no big deal, but $20US currently has some value.

Good luck...

Bruce
