When you did this great looking conversion did you have to disable the CD changer under the passenger seat? Also, did your Disco have the Harmon Kardon system?

Default No mine doesn’t have the harmon kardon system

No mine doesn’t have the harmon kardon system, for the HK system you have 3 plugs, the extra one is for the rear seat remote control i guess, but normally other discos have 2 plugs only, grey and yellow, they are called ISO i guess, a harness came with the head unit that you plug these two into, and then the harness plugs into the head unit, then it works, then you will have to wire up the steering wheel controls.

yes its totally fine but to be honest i would recommend a bigger one, the screen is just too small to use while driving, so would recommend a bigger one

Do you have a photo of how it looks in your car? Maybe with maps/directions open?

I'm going to try the Power Acoustik CP-71W since its available from Walmart and seems to be well reviewed on other forums.

I hear ya, my issue with it though is I want the look to feel OEM. I can't stand the floating screens that everyone else has and that is one of the only models that seems to fit without altering the dash.
