The marea weekend i am looking at buying has the radio / tape head unit with no cd changer.

The first option would be to get the cd changer but I am not a big fan of them (unless the head unit is also cd).

I have seen loads of fiat cd players on ebay, some from puntos and others don't say where they came from. i can't tell what is the right shape for the marea. And also does it have to match the car ecu?

I would go for a single cd head if i knew which one would work.

I fancy something like this photo, I dont really want to get the fascia and stick in a third party one. this car is gonna be nice and standard apart form alloys.

And I want the steering wheel controls to work as well, what have you lot got in your mareas?

wouldnt you prefer ot get an aftermarket unit?opens up more possibilities to you

well maybe, as i do fancy something with usb and sd card slots, i'm sick of writing discs for the car, and i havent got / have no intention of getting an ipod but have a 1gig usb stick handy!

is there anything that works with the marea steering wheel controls?
and that doesn't look tacky / boy racer?

thanks

well most big makers offer steering wheel adapters
