Hi guy's and Gal's

I am looking into installing a new stereo head unit into my 2003 PT, can anyone help with some good advice on type of unit and how best to install.

Do i need a new in dash surround and a wireing harnes so to just plug in and play.

Any help would be appriciated.

Regards

Gobby

GOOD luck & sorry I can't be of much more help

Hi dotspt,

Thanks for the info and link, it was helpfull in some areas. i will also look into checking with the local car stereo shop and see if they have fitted any stereo's to PT Cruisers.

Thanks again

just puting this out here for people who come to this thread to find out some info on chageing headdecks
goto www.ptcompany.co.uk and buy a "RADIO ADAPTER KIT" and itll make your life easyer

thanks for link ... may come in handy if I don't get something resolved .... speaking of radios .. does any one have a wiring diagram of the antenna system ... is there a booster OR can a booster be installed for reception in country areas .. the HAVA has clear radio every where we take it .. I'd like to get that in Pts too !! .. I know I have asked this before but maybe some one has managed to find an answer in the last 4 years .. I'm about to ask HO or local dealer same thing ! !

Just like real estate. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION.

I've found with our 02 and the radio aerial on the front guard we don't get very good reception when travelling but with the 04 and the aerial on the roof we get excellent reception compared to our other PT.
And of course out this way, radio stations are fairly sparse so we get what we can pick up whoever it is.
As far as boosters etc..................someone else will still have to answer that for you.

didn't worry me much as I just put on the CD when I lose reception for the two hours !! but when U compare there is a BIG difference there are a LOT of stations out there with local news .. my antenna being a 2005 is on the roof it still doesn't pick them up ! ... if there is a booster maybe it isn't plugged in or broken, if not WE need one !! .... even the ABC (emergency radio station) crackles .. where Hava's doesn't ...

update here ..Radio in Blackopal(2009) has range on MANY stations all the way to seachange ... I'd say equal if not better than Hava ... I have asked Chrysler ref booster or is it just the head unit .. but seeing as Plums & Roses will be semi retired soon .. doubt I will bother to wait for reply .. BUT will be getting the blue teeth installed so the telephone will go through the stereo too ... ONE day
