Default radio question

Are the Range Rover Classic (1993-1995) and discovery-1 radios the same ? Everything will work the same ?

I need a new radio and the disco ones are cheaper at the scrap yard ...

Thanks !

Um... I know that the disco ones do not work well in the Series..... To be perfectly honest, I have not the fainest on this one... did you try posting it in the RRC forum section, or the disco setion.. a lot of times this part of the forum is over looked for technical questions...

Maybe if you have a photo of what you want to replace?

For the time being, the D1 radios for 1996-99 were made from Pioneer and then Alpine. The Pioneer radio was a marine radio model with the weather band and by now, a lot of them are showing their age in dying cassette decks & lousy FM and AM reception.

Land Rover tried to improve the radios performance by installing a RF amplifier but my guess is that Pioneer just wanted to keep the good stuff to their retail and not their OEM products. Their OEM radios just suck except when you are in the city.

I used to love their Supertuner products but when they put flashy displays connected with flex cable, well something is going to get old and break. Ditto with Sony.

I still have my old Pioneer and I am waiting for it to die before I pull it with some Bose and a Nakamichi deck.

I know that the '96 Disco radios that I have seen are exactly like the ones I've seen on '95 Range Rovers Classic. Off the top of my head I can't recall if they are the same as '93 and "94 Range Rovers. I know that the wiring to the rest of the system is a bit different with the '95's because Rover was using Harmon Kardon equipment and different CD changers in '95. The earlier changers were Pioneers and the later ones were Alpine.

I used a D1 (Pioneer) radio in my RRC...it's exactly the same thing. As far as I know, the earlier versions used on the RRC through 1994 are actually badged "Range Rover" on the cassette door. For 1995, and for the D1, there's a green Land Rover logo on the cassette door. But they're all the same radio.

Replacing the factory connectors that had been cut off was fun
