Hi everyone,
My partners daughter has just bought a P reg fiat brava sx. She wants to replace the standard radio cassette unit with a normal CD player. Does anyone know if a conversion bracket is available or will I have to bodge a squarish cd into a roundish hole. Any help would be great thanks.

Thanks for those replies, my partner has ordered a kit from ebay, She wants her old JVC unit fitted and guess whos got the job..:rolleyes: I just hope the wiring plugs are the same but somehow i doubt it.
 
Thanks for that Helz, I fitted the CD today and it was quite straightforward. I see what you mean about losing the settings though. Do you think it would be ok to wire in a permanent live wire ( with maybe a 5 amp fuse) and splice it into the ignition live wire to the CD, or do I need to do something different:confused: . Just remembered my partners CD in her Renault clio does the same thing and shes always moaning the tracks always starts at the beginning. I think Im going to be busy in the near future.
 
you swap the ignition and permanent live around, usually this is the red and yellow (or orange) wires on the stereo harness, and usually these wires have bullet connetors so they can be swapped over easily. if yours do not have connectors you need to chop and swap.
 
Thanks for that Jug, I`ll try that if I have to but now she says she`s not that bothered about losing the memory, just glad shes got a CD player. LUCKY LUCKY ME :D
 
my head unit didn't have reception so i opened the casing and saw 2 philips tune knobs. so i "tweaked" one, but now i've got some phasing halfway through the decibels only in radio mode, which is still dead.

what are these 2 knobs ( there are more smaller ones ) ?

can i tune them to get reception ( instead of paying hundreds for a "microprocessor replacement" ) ?
 
i used to listen to the police on my scanner a lot as a kid but to be honest i found the taxi's a lot more entertaining. you find out all sorts from taxi drivers.
 
tried google, no use.
i just need to know the exact name of these adjustment knobs.

I managed to pickup taxi's on my dad's normal radio once.
