My CD has the CDR2006 unit in it.....

If i got a unit with the multiplay cd built in(cant remember the number)
Is it a simple remove,plug in and refit?

Or is that just wishfull thinking? ;D

You thinking of ones that play MP3 (eg CD30)?  Don't think that plug and play.

ccr2006 is a straight swap, ncdc series needs a new display and a bit of wiring jiggery pokery

Ah ok, sorry but what one is the 2006?
Is that the built in 4 disc changer with the cassette deck?

Im not going to go to the bother of modifying wiring etc, hence why i wondered what was a straight swap.....

Is it going to be any real advantage to change my current 2005 for a CCR 2006?

Only if you want a tape deck and you feel the need for a 4-disc cartridge :)  I don`t know what the 2005 is like but on the 2006 the on/off control knob is a pile of sh*t :P

Thats a common fault on all of them

ccr2006 sounds better imho, and is bose-able should you be that way inclined.

Possibly a damn sight more reliable - the cd changers fitted to facelifts are particularly troublesome.

Not sure if ccr2006 has better amp, but certainly sounds better than cdr2005 to my ears, though I've only heard a couple of Cdr2005s (although I see a lot of Omegas, I don't get creamed up over car audio, so don't pay a huge amount of attention to them).

Based on the fact that we see one of those for repair to about 50 of the CCR2006 units, spares are still available, the unit appears to be more reliable, and the later Siemens version is virtually bulletproof !

Only fault is the fascia pcb edge connector - and that is caused by nothing more than being heavy handed when you remove it and damaging it.

Seems to be a common problem across all the later Omega radios - NCDC, NCDR, CxR200x...
