Puma TDCI Radio
Hi there,

Ive just purchased a '13 plate 90 2.2l TDCI, however one of the things that it does not have is a radio installed. Im looking to get a radio installed, only requirements are the standard plus an aux input and cd preferably. Would rather spend less money than more, but looking for reliability and not something thats going to break every 10 minutes.

i found a Land Rover Defender TDCI Alpine radio/stereo CD player Ipod Bluetooth head unit that has been: REMOVED FROM 2013 LAND ROVER DEFENDERS, THEY ARE ONLY USED ON TOP SPEC XS DEFENDERS FOR 13 MODEL YEAR. Priced at 140 plus 8 quid postage.

Would this be my best bet and how easy is installation?

Suggestions welcome thanks,

Louis

Hi Louis,

Congratulations on your purchase.

There are a zillion different stereos to choose from and this one is as good as any for the money.

If you remove the blanking plate in your dash there should be a power / speaker plug behind that will fit straight into the rear of your stereo.

I presume you will also need speakers and an aerial (check behind the grills fitted on the lower edge of each end of your dash if speakers are there), if so they are 10cm / 100mm / 4" and most will fit

You could go cheaper than that even by getting a LR one with aux in & CD if that's all you'd require.. Often one floating about for sale. If you put up a wanted ad on here I bet you'd get one. Thumbs Up Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧

Tell the dealer you want the Landrover one with aux input thrown in with the deal

That is STONKING! Thumbs Up

My Evoque is Orkney with a black (glass) roof. The wheels are silver, but think it would look cool with black ones. Craig Rogers

Cheers for the comments, i'll do a proper thread once i have it early next week. Looking forward to being part of the community, and it will be a little different going from a 1.2 polo to this Laughing

Those wheels.... Bow down

About the Puma Radio, how hard do you think it'd be to provide it with an aux input for the one that doesn't have it ?
I mean the slot is there, I wouldn't be surprised if it was just a matter of poping the cap out and weld a mini jack socket...

But then how do you switch to Aux is the thing... Chris
