Discovery 3 2005 S

I am trying to upgrade my radio to possibly a 7inch sterio screen with dab+ and satnav, i am looking at a chinese or whatever system, but because it is a S disco with harmon kardon speakers and a amplifier under the drivers seat I am struggling to find anything that will work and not mess with them.
Can anyone advise on this?

You have 2 options.

1. Buy an audio to optical converter. About 2 exist. £100 ish. Search on here.
2. Buy a wiring loom to connect between new unit and the speaker plug under the seat. These are silly money, for what are basically wires.

I am not very clever on electronics but is this the type of item you mean?

No

Like this, but you should be able to get it for half the price.

I've used the Connects2 kit to bypass the amp on a couple of D3's and a D4, they're simple enough to fit. You'll also need the fascia for a double DIN Stereo
