Anyone tried this?

Cheers...I'll go on the hunt and see what I can find over here.

Well, I spent a few hours driving around and checking out what's available etc. A few units caught my eye and will get some closer attention, but I was wondering...did these MK4s ever come with a cd player factory fitted?

If so, would anyone care to give me a bit of info on how it performed etc etc? Most of what I saw today was flashy stuff with all the bells and whistles (nothing really wrong with that), but I would quite like to find something that looks like it's been there since day one.

Yes:
A single in-dash CD player to go with the Gamma tape unit.
A 6 CD in-dash unit to go with the Gamma tape unit.
A 6 CD boot mounted changer to go with the Gamma tape unit.

All work like a CD player.

Thanks jv...since I posted, I've been on Ebay looking...quite a few listings, but few with any real details...more research needed!

Thanks mate...that's one I saw and have it on my watch list.

I sent the seller a question about 20 minutes ago.

I found another one that seemed to be in better condition than this one and grabbed that.
Had to get a mate in the UK to bid for me, but done with no probs...

...just have to wait couple of weeks for it to be delivered.

Thanks for the useful advice guys.

Believe it not, the better looking one turned out to be a dud...I ended up getting the one that barrym381 suggested. I still had to use the services of my mate in the UK to get it, but it's now mine. Should arrive here in early Feb and then the fun will start....a complete redesign of the console positioning.

Big thanks to all who offered advice.
