Hi all,
I know the new Materia's come with a aux/mp3 socket and wondered if the part is available to retro fit for a 2007 model? I phoned my local dealer but they don't seem to have a clue.
I spotted one on a German website but they want 145 euros to ship the UK and I'm not even sure it would do the job.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Paul.
Yeah I've come to the same
Yeah I've come to the same conclusion. Ok next question anyone removed the radio, if so how and can anyone recommend a DIN adaptor?
Cheers
Paul.
If it's the same as the YRV.....
I am guessing the plastic surround on the dash will probably need removing, and then behind that you should simply find some screws holding in the unit. As for the connectors, yo may need to get hold of an ISO one. Plenty on E-bay to buy.
Hopefully a fellow Materia owner will be along to give you some better advice.

Well I've spoken to Daihatsu
Well I've spoken to Daihatsu in the UK and they don't do any kit for the in car radio or a DIN adapter to allow the mounting of another unit.
I spotted a replacement DIN adapter on a German site which I think will do the job but it's 97 euros including shipping.

Spoke to various dealers who say head to a car audio shot and see what they suggest.
Talk about painful.

Digital. !!
And if your gonna swap the radio - Get a digital one if you can.
I am looking for one myself, but I'm not looking very hard at the moment cos I'm going on holiday soon so it will have to wait until after then.
But this great Government of ours are reportedly saying that all radio stations must go fully digital within the next 2 years and all FM/AM will cease.
Well thats the story on the grapevine - Don't shoot the messenger.

Don't like the new shape Sirion much.Sorry.
Wouldn't it be cheaper to swap the stereo?
In my opinion swapping the stereo with a new one would be better. The AUX/MP3 socket may not work on the OEM stereo you have fitted now and possibly the newer Materias have a different model of stereo to the 2007 ones. You can get a stereo now a days for under
