out of curiosity, howcome you want a cd changer? will a mp3 single slot cd/ipod full of your songs be adequate?

u cant really mix and match headunits and cd changers...they need to be the same make...

consider a USB headunit...will do mp3 off cd, your ipod player, and most USB devices! all your problems solved!!

get the same make headunit and cd changer mate, no point really if u have an ipod plugged in the 2gb one is big enough tbh.

if anything get a cd headunit, ipod connection and thats it sorted mate. no point having a cd headunit and then a cd changer as well imo

If you can avoid it i wouldnt use your ipod. Use a USB memory stick it will work much faster and you wont have to switch it on, just have it tucked away somewhere.

These are very good for the money, fitted a couple to some friends cars last week and surprisingly good results considering the price!!

I've bought one of the above in the link for my daily hack, wasn't expecting much out of it TBH but its a very good unit - nice little 8Gb SD card in there now full of music so will never have to use a CD again LOL

Not bad for £30 + delivery

Also has pre-outs for front + rear amps (should you want to amp up) and an AUX input via RCA at the rear too
