Title: What do i need?
Post by: The Wheel Man on 25 February 2008, 13:02

I want to swap my CD / Radio with the in-dash sat nav unit.  I know nothing about this kind of thing so i dont just want to go out a buy a unit and need other stuff on-top.

I have seen the Kenwood DNX-7200 (I think Hurdy has this one) or the MFD2 DVD

Do i need other ariels, etc and will they work with the OE 6 disc changer?

Oh and i will get some pics of my new car up as soon as i stop driving it for 5 mins :grin:

Thanks
Ben

Hi Ben,

The MFD 2 DVD will be compatible with the OE CD changer, but the Kenwood will not :sad:

If you opt for the Kenwood you will need a few extras

Harness
Fascia adapter

You can also purchase a bluetooth unit and an IPOD adapter lead.

Reasonably speaking you will never use a CD changer again if you have the Kenwood as it also plays MP3 on DVD's, meaning you can have the equivalent of around 50 CD albums on one disc :cool:
