the car is a late 2004 182.
it does look like i need 2, just annoying when you've payed out 50-60 quid too sort the job, and now find it only does half the job, only thing i dont understand, theres no more orginal leads to plug anything else in
after some advice, just bought a cda 9855r head unit, i also ordered display and steering controls adapter, now what actullay came was a kce 940b adapter, am i right in thinking this unit only controls the display.

best advise with the haggling dont sit in front of the salesman with a big chessy grin on your face, once he knows your hooked on the car he well never budge on the price, got to be prepared to walk away.
