I recently bought one of the last of the Rover 25s available new, which came with a dealer-fitter JVC KD-G152 - no stalk control and no CD/MP3.
I've almost decided to upgrade to a JVC KD-G612. Stalk adapter would add £30, assuming I can find the right one. But it strikes me, it should be easy to DIY it.
I suspect the stalk control input on the JVC is simply a 3.5mm stereo jack socket (easy to obtain a plug, if I haven't already got one).
First question: am I right?
The loom has a rectangular multicolour block connector hanging loose, with 20 pin positions but only 2 used. These must be the stalk controls, each of which probably switches between +12v and ground for "up" and "down". (Will check with a test meter when I get the chance.) Since I learnt to solder some 45 years ago, taking the 2 wires which go into the multicolor connector into a stereo jack plug seems less than challenging.
Second question: is there a flaw in my logic somewhere?
Thanks - Philip
