I am the 'proud' new owner of an 07 Berlingo and want to put my Pioneer head unit in rather than the tape deck it came with. I've been looking on t'internet and ebay and can find millions of adapters but none look like they'll fit the head unit which has 2 rows of 7 small + 1 large pins.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

should do it.

mk2 berlingo should be ISO males on the loom.

note you may have to switch over the live and switched live so the MFD keeps getting the right feed - it feeds through the stereo - grey and white wires IIRC - but its been a while - check on berlingoforum.co.uk - helpful bunch of guys.

youl will lose your steering wheel controls and the stock speakers are pish so budget for new as your new stereo will really highlight how bad they are.

...are they rubbish?

Our stereo gave up the ghost about 18 months after we bought it (Jan 2001). Haven't got round to fixing it yet! 😳

I have a 2005 Berlingo. I fitted a Clarion CD unit removed from some other Citroen or Peugeot, along with a Connects2 iPod adaptor. I can still use the steering wheel controls and use them to control the iPod too.

As for speaker quality. This is a Berlingo...

If they do one for your model, I can recommend the connects2 adapter to allow the steering wheel controls to function correctly. I got mine from Liquidice on ebay.

Is upgrading speakers easy?
Happy with Cm radio - but would be happy to unscrew and fix better speakers. Recommendations?

Right got the right cable, however the iso connectors seem to be wired up a bit differently, anyone know what should be going where?
The iso to head unit wires have what they are written on each individual wire but the loom to iso ones don't.

When I removed the Alpine from my old Peugeot I kept it and refitted it into the 04 Peugeot partner. I must've had an adaptor or something on the leads of the old stereo as it all plugged in and was sorted in minutes. I got halfords to point me in the right direction by taking the head unit in so he knew what I needed.

Figured it out, blue to blue, and orange accessory and red switch cables inverted, now works as should, hopefully I haven't borked something and the battery'll be flat tomorrow or something stupid..

In the end I had to do more swapping about, all worked fine but if I left the ignition off for 90secs untill the BSI shut down the radio would reset stations and CD position etc and the trip counter would go to 388 miles even if I reset it before switching off the ignition!

ended up with blue numeric disconnected and can't remember what else, took a bit of doing and this is what I went from:

Accurate iso diagram there for anyone reading this thread looking for answers!
