Just wondering if anyone has any experience or advice about head unit and speaker upgrades for my new trophy.
Not looking for a crazy install or anything like that, just looking for a half decent head unit that'll play MP3's and will be able to hook up to an ipod; And a set of front and rear...

This is the one I have, you can poke it through to the back of the glove box quite easily and have all your tunes in the car. Won't allow skipping with the stalk obviously because it's just an Auxillery connection but this was a plus...
Hey all, after being too late on car 002 (congrats to the guy that bought it from Steve!) I've been searching around trying to track another one down.
Found a few on auto trader and wondered if anyone knows the cars at all... I found
496
331
and a couple of others but they don't list the...
I remember someone telling me they had a cable coming from the back of their headunit (using the connector for the cd changer i believe) and being able to plug in their (non iPod) MP3 player and be able to use the steering wheel audio controls (limited functionality maybe?)- this was ages back...
Just a quick one, when I start driving in the V6 the doors lock once its doing about 10 mph, in the Trophy they don't. Is there any easy way to make the doors lock like the V6 does? or do I need the software, laptop and cable/plug arrangement? :?
Thanks Lee
Well, i've finally managed to blow not one but two speakers so it's time to replace them and at the same time get myself a snazzy new headunit too. i've picked what i'm gonna install, but now need to find someone to install it all as i'm just not that way inclined!! :roll:
Anyone know of...

I still have the standard cd player in my car and about two weeks ago it started to read error cd when I tried to play a cd, no matter what cd it was even new ones that were not scratched at all. Then a few days ago it started working fine, has anyone else experienced this?
I have this 6m old hi-fi sitting boxed in the garage. Since I am old enough to have had plenty of electrical equipment go to the dogs because I decided to keep it for one reason or another I am going to advertise it. Before I get around to putting it on Ebay or somewhere thought I would offer it...
anybody managed to connect a mp3 player to the cd multi changer input on the factory radio....if you knew which pins to use for the R/L audio line in would it be straight forward ? of course the radio needs to see the extra input somehow and the signal really should be non amplified....anybody...
As a newbie on here ive currently got a Lotus Exige S1 as a weekend toy and an Alfa Romeo 156 as my daily driver but am thinking of ditching it for a 182 or Trophy but was just wondering how comfortable a Trophy would be doing 20k miles a year up and down motorways?
Now don't shoot me, but I'm a Civic Type R driver, had one for 4 years and looking for a change.
Been considering a cup for a while, and now that Trophies are starting to 'possibly' fall into my price range, I thought I'd do some research!
Now there's no doubting the looks, performance...
Hi guys
Have just purchased a Blaupunkt DAB54 to replace the head unit.. but it requires an adaptor lead etc which costs... wait for it... 89 pounds plus postage!!! This is from Incartec.
However they need to know what the HU has written on it (they mentioned 'update list' I think!) but as...
I want harnesses but wanna use the back seats every now and again.
so i needed 3 point ones with double release buckle.
the bit i need help on is to help decide between
Sabelt with eye bolts for lab belt or
Sparco with clip fittings.
I also don't wanna be drilling holes if i don't need to...
anyone else thought of changing the bonnet for something lighter like carbon fibre - obviously having it painted in capsicum.... must save a kilo or 2...
Here is a thought... why don't any of the major manufacturers make a car stereo/head unit with a USB port (e.g. Sony, Panasonic, Alpine et al.)?
It seems that most people now have a USB flash disk so surely there is a market for a DIN sized head unit?
There must be a market for a good...
I'm getting bored of constantly changing my selection of CD's in the car and want to use my mp3 player. Does the stereo in the Trophy have an Aux-In so that I can plug the mp3 player in?
I'm not fussed about controlling the player through the head unit or anything like that - i'd just be...
Which dealer in the Surrey area would be best to get the stereo buttons on the steering wheel fixed? I've heard all sorts of horror stories about different dealers.
Spent this morning installing my new Pioneer PEH-P55BT bluetooth head unit and CD-iB100 iPOD adaptor. This is a brand new unit from Pioneer, so new its not even listed on the UK Pioneer website yet! You can find the full spec on the European website here.
I went for this as you can connect...
I thought it might be an idea to see what little gadgets etc people have added to their Trophy's. The kinda things that are slightly less expensive than new exhaust systems ( :wink: ) but are nonetheless fun and could be useful to some people!
I've added a Dension Ice Kit to mine so now I...
Just interested as its a "special" anyhow...
I doubt you want to change the suspension....(shocks)?
Exhausts
Induction
Engine
Ride height.... (consider Eibach springs etc)

I have just read over on cliosport that an adaptor is now avaliable for the trophy stereo stalk controls. Is this true? If so where from?
Cheers,

I'm picking up my Trophy tomorrow, and I'm interested to know what, if any, modifications are needed to get a good sound out of it?
I'm planning on upgrading the HU to one of these: http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/product ... ts_id=4679
What about the speakers? Has anyone changed from the...
Can it be done on the standard unit or does it require a completely new stereo? Or is it easier to get the cd changer unit bolted on (just like the full fat 182)?
Cheers.
I'm now planning on keeping my Trophy long term, but find I miss some of the toys from my old M3, in particular hands-free Bluetooth phone connection and Sat Nav with TMC.
I’ve been looking at different stereos systems with Sat Nav available on the market but very few are available...
