Your Questions, Answered
We’ve put together answers to some of the most common questions about the Reluxe Stereo and our services. If you need anything else, feel free to get in touch.
Fitting & Dimensions
Does the Reluxe Stereo fit my car? Can I fit it myself?
We’ve designed the Reluxe Stereo for a straightforward setup. It features a universal mounting cage and a standard 16-pin ISO harness for 'plug and play' compatibility in most vehicles with a 1-DIN slot.
Note: Designed for 12V negative earth systems. If your classic uses a 6V system or is positive earth, a voltage converter or polarity adapter will be required.
What are the physical dimensions and weight?
- Front Panel: W 188mm x H 60mm x D 8.5mm
- Console Unit: W 178mm x H 50mm x D 140mm
- Total Weight: Approx. 1.35 kg
- Audio Output: 45W x 4 (Standard) / 60W x 4 (Maximum)
How do I securely mount the unit to my car?
Push in the side clips, insert the mounting cage into your car’s DIN slot, and bend the metal teeth outward to lock the cage in place. Slide in the Reluxe Stereo until it clicks.
Pro-Tip: If the cage feels loose, bend additional metal teeth (b) on the top/bottom. For downward-facing dashboards, consider applying tape around the unit for extra grip before sliding it in.

How do I connect the wiring (ISO & Custom)?
If your vehicle has a modern ISO harness, simply connect to the Reluxe Stereo. For custom setups, match the 16 wires using our color-coded guide:
- Brown (Key 1 & 2): Steering wheel controls
- Pink: Reverse light (triggers backup camera)
- Blue: Electric antenna control

DAB Antenna Setup & Grounding
To ensure stable reception, follow the three-part grounding process:
- Part A (Grounding): Press the metal tab firmly against the car’s bare metal frame.
- Part B (Antenna): Attach the film to a clear area of the windshield.
- Part C (Connector): Plug directly into the DAB port on the rear of the unit.

What is "Analogue Mode" via the Smart Cover?
The Smart Cover uses an integrated NFC chip to shift the interface into a period-correct "Analogue Mode." You maintain tactile control over volume and tracks via the dials, while essential metadata remains visible through the cover's viewing aperture.
