I've got a brand new corsa, and i'm changing the crap Double Din stereo for a new Stereo, i've also bought the silver adaptor plate, as my car is a Sxi, and the whole centre console is silver.
When i connect up the new head unit, and swith the HU on, will i loose the date on my MFD display? And if i will, is there any way of getting to stay on all the time, e.g. by cutting wires.
Thanks for your help.

i changed mine to a sony item and i still get the clock and temperature in radio / cd changer mode, but in minidisc mode, the date also comes up. hope this helps
Thanks for your help.

i'd like to know this too mate, I've heard you can also get devices that let you put your own message on the MFD

I heard aboutt his too when I first joined CS there was a picture of one, but no idea how or where the pic went to. Obviously a clever sparky had a go.
My Sony HU has the date with CD's playing but radio gets rid of it. I know you can cut the right wire but it doesn't bother me.

Add me to that list mate! "CORSA" will do fine  but I bet a good controller would be able to do all sorts of wicked stuff.
