When I bought my Crossfire, just 18 months ago, I discovered that the radio shown on the advertised photos was no longer there. It had been replaced by a rather nasty, ill-matched, black thing that hangs out awkwardly from the console.

I would like to find a replacement that fits with the facia, a matching silver colour. Has anyone got a recommendation for me?

Appearances do matter when you’re driving in the best looking car interior you’ve ever had. 😉

Thanks!

 

Look at the Kenwood marine series, the colour matches more or less and they have more modern conveniences.
The display can be turned to a nice more or less matching green.

 

Kenwood marine stereos match pretty well.

 

Thanks! That looks perfect!

 

Just fitted a Kenwood myself. Had to get the black version as the price premium on the silver was astronomical. The good thing is the UK version comes with a harness that plugs directly into the existing Crossfire harness so there is no "fiddling around" with the wiring.

 

Thanks! May I ask how much extra the silver one was and what you paid for the one you settled on?

 

See the attached PDF file for details of a Kenwood install and photos.

 

I sent you a private message, not sure if you have received it?

Also be aware that the various install sheets/ method sheets and PDF's you can get from other forum members are now not applicable to the UK variant(s) of the Kenwood units. As I have said in past postings, the methods used were brilliant and a great help at the time, but Kenwood UK now do all the work for us. I am politely saying with no disrespect to any other forum member(s)....ignore everything and just follow Kenwood's Instructions. I can clarify further if you wish by sending you the Kenwood install instruction sheets.

Cheers

 

I did get your message. Thanks very much for your help and advice!
