What do you actually have at present? e.g. Symphony or RNS-D?

2003 D2 FL S8. Irish Green Pearl/Beige. Solar sunroof, auto-dim mirrors, electric rear seat functions, ski hatch retrofit; extended leather. Aftermarket DVB-T, reversing camera and full XCarlink (Bluetooth etc.). 2016 Volvo V40 T5 Cross Country (4WD) with ALL the toys including adaptive cruise etc. etc. Osmium Grey with Blonde/Charcoal leather interior. Polestar performance "optimisation". (A much rarer model than a D2 S8 by the way!) Oh, and a brand new engine at just under 30,000 miles on the factory one! Finally: gone, but not forgotten..... 1998 D2 PF S8. AgateGrey/Platinum. Every option (I think) except electric rear seats, tiptronic steering wheel, ski hatch, towbar & dimming door mirrors. e.g. Cruise control, NavPlus/TV, Bose, GSM, Xenons, Solar roof, Parking sensors, Alcantara/leather everywhere of course. (internal dimming mirror added later) 1998 (very early) Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec; ABS/TCS, Heated screen/mirrors, Aircon, Auto-dim mirror, Leather, Trip computer, Cruise control, OEM Ford SatNav with CD changer. And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850! |

Single-DIN Concert 1? I have one of those in my 2.8 too.
I don't think there is an adapter for the FL single-DIN. I'm planning to print one for mine so I can use a JVC media player: JVC KD-X362BT |

Wait, what? I thought this thread was about changing your original head unit? Are you just looking to change the speakers and keep the Concert head unit?
The Concert has amp outputs for front and rear so you don't need a line-level converter. Sound quality is pants with those anyway. I'm sure I've seen an adapter to get phono connectors from the Concert so you can drive an amp directly - I'll have a look.

I had a pioneer SPH-DA120 installed a few years back. A huge improvement in sound and functionality vs. The RNS-D that was previously in there.

That does look good. Double din seems to look a lot better than single din in these.

I prefer the OEM look too personally and that RNS-E looks completely original sat in the D2 dash. Presumably you still lose the DIS connectivity though?
