Hello and welcome I know it's not ideal but in the meantime, stick one of those tape converter things in - the other end will plug into the MP3 player, I used one for a few months.

There should be a few HUs about that'd do what you're after. IIRC, car audio direct are doing a JVC HU with mp3 and an aux in (suitable for ipod or similar) for 99.99 which includes delivery

And get some photos of the cinq up sharpish!

Personally I would keep the pedals as is. I'm 6ft with size 12-13s (depending on what shoes I have on!) and I have no problems with the pedals

Can second that. The JVC 611 is a great head unit with the bonus of having a 3.5mm aux in socket on the front, so you can connect ipod's/mp3's/portable dvd players etc etc. And it comes with a remote too. For the price you would find it hard to do better, and there is free delivery from that site too.

My first fiat was a yellow cinq sporting and I put a massive Rockford install in it (way back in 96) so if you need any help wth idea's/questions let me know!

And can anyone recommend a nice set of pedals that are similar in size etc to the original pedals?

Apart from the steering wheel itself, you'd need a suitable boss to mount it
Pedals................most on the market are a fair bit bigger than standard Cinq pedals. Personally, I would stick to standard for now, get the feel for the pedals, and then decide if you can drive with bigger pedals
