Sony CDX-GT30RN

Hi,

I'm thinking of putting a Sony CDX-GT30RN in my 2002 Laguna Expression to replace the existing Tuner List Head Unit (I like the fact that the Sony plays WMA\MP3 discs etc)

Looking at this page:
Renault - Accessories Home
I notice it says "Only compatible with Expert / Update list OE Renault radio" - does this exclude it from working in my car? If I can fit it will I still be able to use the steering column controls?

If it's not possible then does anyone know if there is a cable available to connect the existing Tuner List Head Unit to an Alpine CHM-S620 6 disc cd changer (salvaged from my old car)? Again, will I still be able to use the steering column controls? Does anyone know of a company that I can contact to discuss what I need?

I'm fed up already with changing single discs 'on-the-go' and I'm open to suggestions please? What route have other members taken to improve on the standard system supplied by Renault?

Hope someone can help.
Sorry for the ramblings.

Regards,
Tony

Hi Tony Laguna.

Is it SONY for RENAULT or std SONY kit?
The compatability charts that Renault use are often very out of date + never updated since publication esp since OEM manufacturers change the firmware on the kit with alarming regularity, so the best idea is to contact SONY and ask them, otherwise the tech support at AUTOLEADS are excellent ...

www.autoleads.co.uk [Home Page] .... worth a shot.

Hope it helps :)

Have a look here.

Recently bought a new sony head unit to replace the original philips one. The adapter cost me £55 but i still get steering control and dash display. Sadly it doesnt show the names of mp3's but if you burn a audio cd itll show the track names, not sure about other models.

The one i bought for my model was a DRNS001 for a laguna 1999. Easy to fit just joins between original cables and new stereo
