roohunt 1 Posted April 15, 2013 I have a 1990 H Reg - Would this have had a Clarion or Philips stereo as standard - Or could it have had either depending on dealer fit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chris-gti 14 Posted April 15, 2013 My nan's 1.1 was clarion on a 'J' and my '89 F gti was clarion (at some stage of its life) if that helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roohunt 1 Posted April 15, 2013 It does thanks, I figured it would be a Clarion to be honest - Shame as there's an original Philips HU in great condition with manual etc on ebay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stufarri 98 3 Cars Posted April 15, 2013 I though that E plates would have Phillips and F plate onwards Clarion. My 1 owner 24K mile 1.9GTI which was 1989F had a Clarion fitted. I always thought they were factory fitted though, not dealer fitted? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pugleyrich 37 1 Cars Posted April 15, 2013 Mine is a 1990 H reg and I also have a Clarion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roohunt 1 Posted April 15, 2013 Ok fellas thank you - Figured as much. Will have to keep my eyes peeled for an original Clarion. Stufarri - Opinions seem to differ on if they were factory or dealer fitted... I thought factory too, but found a thread with people suggesting otherwise.

Miles 331 1 Cars Posted April 15, 2013 Clarion without a doubt, Change over was 1989/90 from phase 1.5 to phase 2. But all/most head units where dealer fit as I had trouble when I had a new one when they fitted a lesser model Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
