It's a lot of work for very little return.  Why not get a nice, new MP3 headunit?

Is the Kenwood changer mounted securely in the glovebox?  
Has it got suspension adjustment for angle of mounting?  

If its a lot of work then that puts me off straight away..

No the kenwood auto changer looks like its just been slid in then foam inserts slid in above and below as an after thought....and its been fitted by a garage  

Do any of the omega"s (slighty newer maybe) use a standard single disk cd player.....really cant justify a shiny new cd player as its not used that much and the twins are keeping me skint,and there not even born yet lol.

I think there is a headunit for the pre-facelifts that has a single CD input, it was fitted in the Reflection special edition. Not sure on its model number though  :-/

CDR500. Flippin expensive on ebay - they go for silly money...

[Admin]

Indeed, the CDR500 is ridiculously overpriced for what it is!

You can buy a normal CD player cheaply enough on ebay (£30ish) or a reasonable MP3 player for as little as £60.

A CDR500 is around £60-£70...

Guessing because people want the MID to work, agreed cheapo CD player is the way to go. MP3 ones are dirt cheap now, my Alpine reads mp3's, you can have around 250 tracks on 1 cd (depending on file sizes)

I generally get at least 10 cd's worth on 1 mp3 cd, who needs cd changers!?

Oh in that case i"ll go the route of a cheap mp3 head unit.....i assume some sort of adapter will be needed.

Sorry to the OP for hijacking your thread.

Stuart. Here is the sort of thing you can get cheaply enough.

Finishes soon but worth a bid of up to £45 I would say.

Edit: Sold for £30...   for a Pioneer MP3 headunit, you couldn't go wrong at that price!

Loom adaptor is usually around a tenner, however some units don't need one. My alpine did'nt... only needed an extra adaptor for the steering wheel controls
