If i were to buy anew head unit (with aux in) what wiring harness would i need? Is it ISO?

Also is there a way of adding "aux in" to the head unit that is in there?

You've probably looked on the Berlingo forum already, but if not [url= http://www.berlingoforum.co.uk/thread-9131.html ]this[/url] might help.

I'd like to do the same, although on a 2000 Berlingo without reducing my perfectly functional car to its scrap value by getting it wrong.

2009 could be a new or old shape berlingo, which is it?

New shape you can add aux in*, but you need a dealer to enable it. They should do it for a tenner or maybe free if other stuff is being done.

*I've done it.

While we're here - the tape player on my 2003 Berlingo has gone, and that's how I played music through the phone. It's massively doing my head in not having this capability any more.

Are the stereo's a standard size/fitting or do I need to get another Berlingo stereo? They look a slightly funny curved shape but I might be imagining it. I'd love one with an aux in but don't want to spend much.

That should do it though it's not the sort I used. I used one wired into a pass through block. That one will fit into the existing connector block.

You also need to get a dealer to enable it as I say, then it just appears as another input, so when you cycle CD->radio it goes CD->radio->aux in.

From a quick google, see the pinout here:

What you linked will go in part B and provide the electrical connection. Pull your radio out and have a look, it's easy - just make 2 U shape wire prongs from a coathanger to remove it (or use small screwdrivers).

I then routed the cable through a hole I drilled in the top of the cubby hole* below the stereo, so I can plug in and leave the phone/whatever in there, or in a phone mount on the dash.

*pro tip - make a ridge along the front with Sugru, then things no longer fall out the cubby hole.

Oh, and removing the cubby hole is a bit fiddly as there's a knack, do it when the radio's out as it'll be easier, dill your hole and refit. I then put a doubled-over o-ring round the cable after threading it through so it can't pull back through and get lost.
