Does anyone know if it possible to replace the built in radio in a
206, now that they've switched over to the common wiring loom?

Every time I raise the issue with the main dealer's staff, they shrug
and say that at the least I'll invalidate the warranty and at most I
could turn up the volume on a replacement model and cause the brakes
to fail or something equally fatal.

Has anyone else had experience of this thoughtless design flaw?

TIA!

You dig!

Yep.

You'll need to buy a few adaptors from Autoleads, and you'll need to pay
your local Pug dealer to tell the car that the factory stereo is no longer
present.
