Car audio MP3 player was created by helijohn
No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationI am considering one of these.



I have been dedicated to CDs for years but now my CD player is - er- playing up I want a cheap alternative. Problem is the output at the back cos it doesn't look like ISO to me.

On that note.
What pullers do you need to remove the original head unit ?

Currently it is a Mutant radio and I have the tangs bent so I can pull it out without a key. ;)

You get what you pay for John - that looks rubbish if I'm honest. I would pop to Halfords and get a £50.00 Sony with a 3.5mm jack lead and if possible a USB port. I have a USB port in my Fiesta and have a 4gb USB stick in it with all my favourite songs and just have it on random.

I have a £100.00 special offer Alpine unit in my Fiesta but have had a Sony Unit in my Jimny for donkeys years. I have an identical one on my work bench at the moment from my old cars but I'm reluctant to let it go as it's a good spare and I know how to use it etc, considering it's worth nothing second hand anyway but £50 to buy another.

The Kenwood at £45.00 could be just the ticket!

Some nice units there Kirky thanks. B) Weighed it all up and thought I'd see what the eBay one is like; I'll let you know how the it fares when it is in. ;) I can always spend big bucks later. The Mutant was nice and is a Halfords special (or was) but I've had two and it is the disc player that goes kaput - likely got rattled to death. Without the optical reader there is not a lot else inside!!

I stuck a £50 pioneer iPod/iphone (and any other MP3 player) head unit in mine the other week. No cd drive :)
Its tremend, displays tracks from iphone and charges it through the USB. Highly recommended
