Technical Where can I get a CD changer?

[Davren]

If you check the seller's "feedback as a buyer", it would appear that he only bought this CD changer 7 weeks ago (for £77) from someone else on eBay.

That always make me suspicious that the current seller has bought an item that doesn't work so is trying to sell it on again.

Eek. Well spotted. I'll avoid that one then!

The search for the holy grail continues.

Right then. Are these units any good, and would it swap directly with my factory rad/cass head unit in my 2005 1.9JTD Multiwagon Active?

Would my on-board computer need to be re-programmed or some such? Would I need an extra antenna for the sat nav feature?

Please excuse the questions of a dullard, I am a total beginner when it comes to changing car stereos!

Any advice on this unit would be gratefully received as I've never seen one before and am new to Stilo ownership (9 days now and nothing's gone wrong!).

Major grief - avoid

You'd be better off going for a 3rd party CD/radio (if you must)

i dont think so, not without an adapter anyway. the standard BP stilo one wont work with my headunit.

I'm looking for a changer so that I can use cd's when I don't have my ipod around. If you want pm m your details and how much you want for it, as for the inlay we can swap i'll give my plain one to replace your's so that it looks neat and I get one ready to go

I'll take your word for it and avoid.

Now seriously considering just getting an MP3 player and one of those casette adapter thingies. Yes, I'm luddite enough not to have an MP3 player at all!

If you're that desperate then why not not consider this Kenwood

Yep, might well go with something like that. Do these after market units just slip into a pre-existing cage in the dash (i.e. the one that holds the factory unit in place), or do you need to get something extra to hold it in place, as it seems to me it would be floating in the ether!

I have seen a fascia on ebay which has a storage slot below the hole for the head unit, think I'd prefer the look of that and I'll go for it if I can't find a proper FIAT CD head unit in the next few weeks or so.

Pretty sure that's all you need (otherwise send it back )

Don't overlook scrapyards. Might be worth posting some requests or just phoning around.

Tried breakeryard.com, parts gateway and 247spares already, no joy.

Ho hum.

[Alanovich]

Thanks for the offer!

[Alanovich]

I'm happy to stand aside here chaps - if the two of you want to do a deal please go ahead!

Thanks but the same applies to you if you want the changer you'd have to remember is that you'd want the proper fittings i.e. top glove box. So you might want to do a swap of the above as well.

so if you still want it don't stand aside get in there

I'm going to put up with what I've got for the time being in the hope of finding a single slot Radio CD from another Stilo, but I may revisit this kind offer in the near future.

Had you seen this one? Apparently it's the mp3 version.
