RRS 2006 Head Unit Replacement.

When I bought my RRS a few months ago it had been re-trofitted with a Pioneer Touchscreen Head Unit.

TBH, I don't like it (it's not DAB), nothing wrong with it, the Bluetooth works very well & it's a nice unit. However, it does not work with the steering wheel controls & whoever installed it by-passed the original HK amps.

I would prefer an original head unit & use the DAB/Bluetooth adaptor I had on my L322 Vogue which works well.

Question is - will a used unit (plenty of fleabay) need coding ?

Thanks in advance for any help.

It would help if you fill in your profile.
Is it a V6 or V8 ?

A factory model should not need coding.

I can't help but think if someone has gone to the trouble of fitted aftermarket, it would be wise to stick to that route

Thanks for the reply Andy,

I thought I had filled in my profile ! (have done now).

Thanks regarding the coding.

I just don't like the touch screen - the unit installed in the car does not appear to have the facility to connect to the steering wheel controls. It's a bottom of the range model by the looks of things.

I've had a specialist have a brief look at it & the wiring leaves a little to be desired.

TBH, I'm still keen on sourcing an original unit (hint, hint if anyone has one).

Thanks, whoever changed the head unit by-passed the HK amp so I'm hoping that's OK.
