Want to fit CD Player

[puntoranger]

My daughter has a mk2 punto 2001 ELX, It has a cassette player/radio and my daughter obviously wants a CD player, any advice on what model CD player ect, can I fit it myself or get it fitted proffesionaly (are they a pain in the you know what), will one go in the space provided when the factory fitted radio comes out ect ect. Thanks for any advice

about 99% of all CD players fit cars - Should check before you buy it, who ever you getting from should be able to advise you.

Don't waste your money on getting someone else to fit it. Will be the worst ever spent £30 you could do because all it is, is simply plugging in.

You might need removal keys, not sure which type but im sure someone will know (they are the hook kind for the mk1), also you may have to make a wiring alteration on the ISO block if the cd-player doesn't behave (this is covered several times in the ICE section)

my advice is to buy 1 with bluetooth then if you/your daughter gets a phone call instead of having to answer it(an get a fine/point or even worse,cause an crash)all you have to do is press the CD player the call then comes threw the cars speakers,most have bluetooth now but id go for a sony x-plodd(there about 100 pound but worth every penny)and you should get some removal keys with the new CD player,(dont throw them after fitting as you may want to take it back out 1 day)

the removal keys for hu are two, two prong one's
you'll need a facia adaptor, get a fiat one their a bit more expensive but a much better/easier fit

i have th sony x-plodd nd it was worth every penny
-cd player
-radio
-usb connector
-bluetooth
-aux out put for ipods

and a good sound fitting it took som work but thts only because i bought th fascia from halfords instead of gettin it from fiat

I might not have to fit a CD player after all, my daughter has just purchased one of those cassettes that goes into the cassette compartment and you can plug your i-pod into it, (i've never heard of them) £15 i think from halfords and she said she is happy with that, exellent

I had one of these as a short term solution before getting a CD player. If she's happy with it, by all means keep it, but in my experience their quality tends to degrade as you use it.

Getting a CD player than can handle mp3 cd's will be a worthwhile investment! (I buy an £80ish CD player every time I get a new car and never have any probs with it!

 

[nikkiy9]

my cd player does mp3's, can get up to 8 album's on the 1 cd,

 

[toad101]

mine will play mp3 dvd's over 20 albums @320kbps

iPods>>>>>Mp3 CD's though.
I would avoid the tape casettes converter things and prob go for them FM radio transmitters instead
