right here goes
In my last clio a dynamique I had a vdo ch 600 6 disc changer along with the tape deck, the same unit as above.
When I changed to my 182 last year I said to saleman just fit my vdo changer into the 182 save me some money. He said ok, then when car was due he said they cant cos they couldnt get a wire for the unit. (Id left the wire in my old dynamqie) Ended up paying £300 for a whole new vdo pack new changer, and new wire. If Id have known that id have ordered the 6 disc changer to be fitted at the factory, i.e alpine one.
So I ended up with new vdo unit in 182 and a spare vdo changer with no wire.
My mate buys a new 182 pre regd no changer, we decide to try and fit my spare vdo unit to it, spend ages trying to find a wire, end up buying a alpine wire thinkning it would work. At a cost of £86 from renault! doesnt fit. Cant find the correct vdo wire anywhere, renault wont take alpine wire back. So buy a Alpine unit off someone on here and use the £86 wire.
I still have a spare VDO chnager.
lol
the bracket above is the one for the alpine unit, when dealers fit the vdo ones they stick it to the bracket as its smaller than the alpine one.
When I fitted the alpine unit to my mates I used the bracket off my old vdo changera dn it screws in to that one.
