Which stereo
In the market for a double din radio for my 2003 90 xs , already bought the new MUD fascia panel and upgraded the front speakers , so looking at options for the radio.
Would like wireless apple car play and the option for a reverse camera . What’s everyone’s suggestions.

Not sure about wireless car play units but the Kenwood DMX5020DABS I have in my 110 is fantastic. It is a mechless short body unit so allows tons of room for the wiring behind which is a problem with full depth units. I also have the Kenwood CMOS-130 reversing camera which is really clear even at night.

The head unit is powering a pair of Kenwood 13cm speakers in the under dash panels, Kenwood tweeters in the head lining, 10cm Kenwood speakers in the rear doors and a Kenwood KSC SW11 powered sub under the middle row seats.

And just to be really fancy I have grafted the steering wheel stereo controls from a Disco 2 into the steering column shroud as the only issue I have with the head unit is the volume controls are small and you can't easily find them without taking your eyes off the road

You could either take a 12 v feed from the green/brown wire on the reverse switch on the gearbox or what I did was piggy back off the live feed to the reversing light. I broke into the reverse camera wiring, cut the red power cable and had the reverse light power the camera, then ran an additional length of 2 core cable with the camera cable from the reverse light to the head unit to tell the head unit it was in reverse. I used a length of 2 core cable from the back to the front to provide the earth for the camera and for the reverse signal to go to the head unit.
