2 radios?

[unreal_event_horizon]

hi all,
i love my cd navi 70, as it keeps my dash looking oem, i am wondering can i install a second radio, like an alpine in the glove box and have a ful sound system run off it and switch between the two if i want or is this an absolute can-bus no no??

thanks in advance
Dave

All you need to have a 2nd unit operating would be the permanent and switched live supplies, an earth, feeds to your speakers and an aerial. You'd not get the same functionality as the fitted unit (remotes, display screen, etc) but you'd be able to use one unit at a time for sound output.

I have a friend who has done this i a 2003 Astra with OEM navi (1-din NCDR 1100 or something). He only uses the oe navi for navigation and bc information with the colourscreen. All regarding music and sound he has a another aftermarket radio for. He changed all the speakers, mounted amplifiers and sub also... Sounds awesome.
Buth the dash is also made so it fits 2 x 1-dins units

He got the best of both worlds..
