Title: After Market CD Player due to mine conking out...
Post by: Road Hog Mad on 08 March 2010, 20:07:45
... Well my CCR 2006 has blown up! so its time to source another one, if any one has a working one with the code let me know :D - Or I could source an after market one with the MP3 options, but the steering wheel controls won't work and I would have a massive gap as the after market one is smaller than the original. I have seen the tray surrounds in X police cars so they must be available if I was to use the after market one.

Also the wiring for an after market one, what modifications would have to be done to the wiring? It's not like my old Rover, the Omega is more modern lol.

Advise....

As has been mentioned, Halfrauds had all the bits required for DIN E sized stereo. I fitted a Sony into a new fascia. Added an extra adapter for steering wheel controls and it's been no bother. Because the Omega has good acoustics, if you went for a Bluetoooth headunit handsfree type, the mic picks up conversation no problem.It's personal choice but I coulcn't wait to get rid of the standard crate in my dashboard! :y

The plug that goes in to the back of the original stereo seems quite big and chunky but if Sony ones fit from Halfrauds lol then an after market one maybe better for me, ideally one with a USB doo dar as I have 6GB of MP3's :D. Not to bothered about the steering controls working but that would be nice. Also would require the fascia.

What price are we talking for a Sony? A replacement one for mine (original) is £155 second hand, so If all the Sony gear costs £200 I would consider the after market one. Would be nice if it had sat nav built in as I have a big hole :D lol.

The speakers are standard I think, its not bose, it is a good sound system though.

something like this.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/7-In-Car-Entertainment-DVD-CD-IPOD-player-GPS-Sat-Nav_W0QQitemZ220511535265QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Audio_TV_Electronics_In_Car_Entertainment_GPS_In_Car_Audio_Players_PP?hash=item33578300a1#ht_12215wt_1166
