fitting aftermarket stereo (new c3)

hi all we have just purchased a 10 plate c3 the new shape one and i would like to replace the stereo to get an aftermarket bluetooth one. my question is after i replace the original stereo do i have to keep plugging it in to change the time etc on the screen or is there another way to do it after the aftermarket one is fitted??

Hi jebby80

You need an adaptor to allow the stalk controls to continue to communicate with the new radio. Have a look at the connects 2 series of adaptors that can interface and sometimes replicate the old controls from the radio that was removed.
