Hi

I have a T reg 2.5 CDX V6 with an OE Roadstaer FM/AM radio installed along with a 6 CD multiplayer in the boot.

Afriend of mine would like the radio so my question is can I buy a replacement which will work with the steering wheel controls and be compatible with the CD player ?

Thanks in advance

I wasn`t aware that Roadstar were ever fitted as OEM ?  But if you do have one fitted to the steering controls, it may be worth a close look to see how they have been converted for use, as many of the Roadstar aftermarket conversions were quite complex and messy, so may not be as straight forward to reverse back to a normal Vauxhall without a bit of work and rewiring.

I would be interested to know what model numbers you have fitted though, just for my own curiosity.

The factory fit stereo in the older Elites with the phone have Roadstar on them, but Roadstar functions etc weren't available this side of the Atlantic.

Ok,so is that a "ROADSTAR" function?, like "ONSTAR"?

or is it actually a Roadstar produced stereo ?

Sorry Dave ......  I confuddled myself. It does indeed have Onstar!

Ah!  That`ll be a Philips Radio then.

Still unawares of an OEM Roadstar though, can`t find any mention of such a beast in my library !!
