wannabe Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Hi guys. Long time no post. So sorry to jump straight back in with a question. I have just bought a gen 3 2007 Peugeot Boxer that I am going to convert into a day van and I know there is quite a bit of discussion on these forums about the factory fit radios. The radio in the van I have bought is nothing but a huge pain. The radio will only work when it feels like it but 90% of the time all I get is CANCHECK on the display, and I have made many checks to make sure that all the connections are properly fitted and secure, so I have decided to bin it and fit an after market Pioneer head unit. I know that it needs a wiring harness adaptor but I can't seem to get a definitive answer on which one to use as everybody keeps muttering about it being the changeover year. I have been told that it is either autoleads PC99-213 or PC99-212. I was wondering if anybody on here has replaced their head unit and used one of these adaptors and could tell me which is the correct one. Also, I want to retain the use of the buttons that are on the steering wheel so I know I will also have to buy a PC99-SON patch lead. Its just the main harness adaptor that I am struggling with, so if anyone can tell me definitely which one I need I would be mucho grateful. Thanks in advance.

Billggski Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Your main problem may be the aerial, loafs of comments on how reception is awful with even the best head units. Several have gone over to DAB radios with windscreen antennae. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabe Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 I don`t have a problem with reception. When the radio does come on the reception is great, I have a roof mounted aerial, not the one in the mirror. The reason I want to replace the head unit is that I have read many reports on various forums that when you start getting the CANCHECK message on the display you`ll have nothing but problems and the best place for the radio is the bin! That`s where it`ll end up as I also want to add ipod connectivity. I`m trying to find out which wiring harness adapter is the correct one as I thought someone may have done the swap. The guys in Halfords looked like they had had a lobotomy when I asked them which one I would need for a gen 3 2007 Boxer with canbus wiring and remote buttons on the steering wheel.
