Need help you guys
Wanting to replace stereo in renault clio 172,but i want it to function with the multichanger/steering remote

The multichanger is an alpine but had a peugeot 307 a while ago and no stereo apart from the original one would work the multichanger,any help/advise mucho grateful guys

 

hi mate how u doing
cant you get a adaptor thingy which you were able to get for the bmw 5 series which also had the alpine changer and controls on the steering whell.hope this helps will try to find out for you from an installer friend of mine

 

You won't find an aftermarket head unit that will work with the OE changer. OK... some rare cases, Fiat Punto, Alfa 147, etc, where the OE changer is a Blaupunkt CDC-A08 but that's about it.

w.r.t. steering wheel controls, Connects2 make a range of stalk (and display) adaptors that allow Sony (with display), Panasonic, Kenwood and JVC head units to be used with the stalk controls.

 

I was going to mention Sony: I noticed on several ICE sites that they do adaptors to allow thier headunits to use steering column controls in many cars.

Thats one that keeps comeing up but the multichanger is an alpine and i was under the impression that it was like for like on equipment(sony to sony etc)

 

Nope. OE changers, irrespective of who they're manufactured by, don't use the aftermarket protocols in the majority of cases including your Renault.
