Title: Multi CD player
Post by: 456lbft on 03 April 2019, 18:23:22
On the MV6 I have just bought has a Siemens NCDC 2013 fitted, which appears to need a cartridge to load CDs into the big slot in  the front.  In the service records there is mention of this cartridge not ejecting properly and it was recommended not to use it so it doesn't get jammed. There doesn't seem to be a multi CD cartridge in there, so I am wondering if it is possible to load a CD without this cartridge or if I got one (from somewhere?) can it be fixed so it doesn't jam, or is it a known fault. I also wonder how difficult it is to connect an MP3 player or similar to this sort of unit? without going to a new aftermarket stereo, which I'd rather not have to do, because I'd like to keep the dash all looking original. Thanks.

Does original include the Parrot kit ???

Couple of options...

1.Use that, via Bluetooth.

2. Wire a headphone jack point into the CDC connection ribbon and call it done. To use, simply select CDC on the head unit and use your device  to select the tunes :y

Added bonus of being an Mv6 is no Bose :y

Oh, yes, that's explains my next question as to what that thing is. I guess that is a convenience that I will learn to appreciate. I should probably search the paperwork for a user guide. You can probably tell that I tend to know very little about gadgets.  :y thanks for the pointer.

Put Aux in like I have, then just play tunes via your preferred portable device. Personally I use Spotify on my iPhone  :y
