Not an audiophile? Just want a easy install? Unimpressed with RAVE wiring diagrams?
I've installed countless headunits over the years, I'm not a stranger to wiring, but damn the rave manual wiring diagrams. Ooof. Not used too that style.
What I am used to is matching factory harness wires to the new radio, and crimping little red tubes on.
NEVER had I encountered an AFTERMARKET headunit that plugs into the factory harness. Mind blown.
Check it out.
Props to my wife, who we just bought the rover for, who said "Wait!, don't cut that! These plugs look like the ones on the back here..." while I was trying to involve her by showing how(usually) straight forward it is to splice in a HU. I would have cut into the harness and never realized.

Yes, we have SWCs but we just wanted the cheapest Bluetooth option, and this 30$ headunit doesn't support them.
after looking at their website they do have models that do, and they have the same harness setup.
LOTS of other places to spend $$$ on our $1000 Disco, new dampers are up next I think.

I was thinking about going down the path ofconverting the dash to a double dinbut I agree with you, there are so many other things to spend money on before the audio system. Thank you for linking to the unit you bought!
