Hi, mine came with one of these Alpine stereos fitted when I bought the Land Rover, the microphone wire goes up the inside of the windscreen pillar cover and clips to sun visor, it works well like this Thumbs Up

Update re the rubber radio mount grommet- fantastic service from my LR dealership ( Lakeland Land Rover at Coniston )
the part is no longer available but the parts guy asked in their workshop and they found an old one and then posted it out to me with no charge

they deserve a good word - as so often they get slagged off

I agree, lakelander Thumbs Up There is quite a bit of negative feelings on here towards the Main Dealers. If you have found good service, give them a good word. Sulisuli appears to have a similar good relationship with his Main Dealer. Duckworths are another who consistently seem to go out of their way to be helpful. I just wish I felt the same about my local one’s Rolling Eyes

Mike C - Where on the sun visor is it located? Any issues with the visor up or down?

I have a Mic to go in sometime and choices are there or steering column top for me.
Tried about A pillar only but didn’t pick up sound well I found and wind was an issue. Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧

Hi customsteve90, the mic is attached with a clip to the far right of the sun visor, the wire is longer than it needs to be but its coiled up to look tidy. It remains in place when you pull the visor down and doesn't cause me any problems. You just need to remember not to grab the actual mic when you pull the visor down!

Hope that helps.

Gents,

As this issue has come up, can I ask where to buy a radio frame for an alpine CDE-125BT?
Otherwise if I bought a new one would it come with the frame?
I had one that I bought on ebay but now can't find any for sale...

Thank you

Fabio

Is that what you are looking for?

I would say it would be cheaper on eBay.

No, it is something like this.
The one i had on it was easy to put on it and not the same as this.

I would imagine that it comes with the radio. But I can't guarantee it?

If there is a plate surrounding the standard CDE-173, do you think that would fit? There must be loads of people on here who have upgraded theirs and may have one laying around somewhere?

I think the old Alpine radios fitted by land rover would have had the frame.
Maybe someone will have one and it should fit.

MY13 XS, I believe the microphone was an optional extra, I didn't tick the box but it appeared to have come with it anyway:
