I've got the DC082 CD changer wired up in the 'boot' of our newly acquired 806, but the head unit's missing. The old unit hasn't been cut out - the ISO, CD changer and steering wheel control leads etc. are intact - but I have no record of the type or code. A quick look on the internet suggests I need a Philips DC521, DC741, DC740 or DC964 head unit.
Anybody got one I can buy?

Re: Philips head unit
I don't, but I can confirm that the Phillips head unit fitted to 90s Discoveries (and other Rover cars of that era) is compatible with the DC082 if that opens up other search avenues.
Re: Philips head unit
I reckon the head unit out of the series 2 XM will be ok. Mine is fitted with the Philips cd changer. Try Wolsey House motors or eBay.

Re: Philips head unit
Phil, just checked the audio handbook for my XM. It is fitted with a Philips RDS 4040. Hope this helps.

Re: Philips head unit
Thanks, I'll look into it. The thing is I need to be able to fit it to the standard slot and hopefully connect up the steering wheel controls - as well as (maybe, if I'm lucky) the CD changer)...

Re: Philips head unit
Found one. It has an MG logo on it, but it's definitely the one. Thanks.mat_fenwick wrote:I don't, but I can confirm that the Phillips head unit fitted to 90s Discoveries (and other Rover cars of that era) is compatible with the DC082 if that opens up other search avenues.
