That looks great ..... a very neat installation 

[Kevin Wood]

Yep, very neat.

[Steve B]

yep its a cracker ...

[Steve B]

And that mp3 player will cost you 4 quid max.

[Doctor Gollum]

We likeses it, we do. Very precious . 

So the ash tray light comes on when ash tray open in normal operation, and it's switch has been used to switch between cd and the MP3? Ash tray open, MP3 on CD off. Ashtray closed CD on MP3 off....?

Often wondered about fitting a smart phone holder in there, but didn't want the ash tray open all the time, as I often sit with my left leg up/foot flat on the floor (auto box obviously) and the ash tray catches the side of my leg when open.

That's very neat, love anything that's not irreparably 'damaged' the car, very nice job 

Would look better installed into a PFL CDX V6, of course. I happen to have one up the drive if you fancy hooking that up to my SC804....

Mr CG?

I pondered the idea of using the switch in that way but would need a little more work as it's only a single pole one way switch so would need to drive a relay or similar.

The illumination lamp has been removed as that's how I've routed the wires - you can't feed them out lower down as the mechanism would trap them and the unit wouldn't shut. If you utilise the +12v after the illumination switch, it will obviously power down the unit when you close the ashtray, I didn't want that to happen so used the ignition fed side so it turns on and off with the Head Unit.

Not seen one of those for a few years! Think it was in a Carlton CDX I had to use when the company realised my Cavalier SRi was on 158K and was only leased for 90K over three years!

[Diamond Black Geezer]

Yup, fitted to the CDX until the MFL, prob about 1997. I like to keep thinks original, hehe.

SC804 fitted to higher end Omegas under MFL arrived (Model Year 1998)

[TheBoy]

May i ask what needed doing. And can the 206 do this 

Not sure the CCR2006 has the independent volume settings for this sort of thing?

Its pretty tried and tested on NCDx series over the past couple of years.

[Taxi_Driver]

Wouldn't work for me....

I'd be constantly stubbing out ciggies on the  display 

But seriously... looks a neat idea

Be perfect for the taxi then seeing as how you can't smoke in it...

Andy do you have any pics of the internal connections?

[Magwheels]

The best I have seen so far by a long shot.

Nice and tidy, I never thought of putting one in there. Ideal place really as I don't smoke and it's right in front where you want it.

I use my phone to play MP3's etc through my Kinetic Digitizor aux input and the phone sits in the cup holder space below the centre armrest. Its ok but the volume is a bit low. It is tidy though as you can't see its in there and of course I get the DAB.

I would also like some piccies or more detail on the HU connection if possible.

[MetalRush]

This looks awesome. I am also busy trying to get this kind of solution working (NCDC2013).
I am very curious how the 'switch' between MP3 and CDC is connected.
Could you elaborate on this (perhaps with a few pics)?
