Rover Android Head Units – what you need to know
The Rover 75 is one of those cars where replacing the radio makes a visible difference to everyday use: the model was built between 1999 and 2005, and the factory head unit is a cassette or CD radio with no Bluetooth hands-free calling and no navigation. TopNAVI's Rover 75 Android head unit kit goes in place of the original radio with a factory-look frame and a plug-in wiring loom, so the model's distinctive wood-trimmed dashboard does not have to be taken apart or modified. The specification includes an eight-core processor, an HD touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, GPS navigation, Bluetooth hands-free calling, a reversing camera input and a multi-language menu; the steering wheel buttons are retained after the learning procedure. It is important to know that the same kit fits the MG ZT, since that is essentially the sportier version of the Rover 75 with an identical dashboard, and it fits the 75 Tourer estate body too. The Rover 25 and the Rover 45, however, were given completely differently built dashboards, and this frame is not for those. What makes the 75 interesting is that it was developed during the BMW era, so several German-derived engineering solutions went into it, the diesel engine among them; the electrical system remained British, though, which is exactly why it is worth using a model-specific wiring loom rather than a universal hook-up. On a twenty-five-year-old car that is no small matter: a plug-in kit is reversible without cutting the factory wiring, so the car's original state can be restored at any time. If you are unsure, send us a photo of the centre section of the dashboard and we will write back to say which solution fits. Every Rover head unit we sell carries a 2-year warranty, and items in stock are posted within one working day.
Frequently asked questions
Which Rover model is the unit for?
The Rover 75, model years 1999 to 2005, in both saloon and Tourer estate form.
Does it fit the MG ZT too?
Yes. The MG ZT is essentially the sportier version of the Rover 75, with an identical dashboard and an identical radio surround, so the same kit belongs in it.
Does it fit the Rover 25 or the Rover 45?
No. These models were given completely differently built dashboards and this frame is not for them. If you have one, send us a photo of the dashboard and we will see whether there is a solution.
Is the swap reversible on a car of this age?
Yes. The kit comes with a plug-in wiring loom, so the factory wiring does not have to be cut and the original radio can be refitted at any time. That matters from a collector's point of view too.
What is the delivery time and the warranty?
Items in stock are posted within one working day, so the parcel typically arrives in 1-2 working days. Every head unit carries a 2-year warranty, and we are happy to help with the setup by phone.
