I have a Renault Laguana with original blaupukt radio/cass & want to put in a cd changer any ideas?
Answers:
I would save myself the trouble and buy an MP3 capable head unit. They are much more cost effective (not to mention modern)than a changer.Much easier to install, and you can write as many songs to ONE MP3 disk as a 12 disk changer will hold!! Also, if you have ever had to load a trunk mounted changer in the rain..Also some interesting tech in some Sony model head units is A trac compression. With the right software, it is possible to write almost ONE THOUSAND tracks to ONE disk!! As technology moves forward.. Move with it.
I changed mine for an Alpine fab radio with 5 cd changer. The changer needed to be situated in the back(in the little hidey hole above the rear wheel arch) and had have the facia replaced as the hole where the old stereo was didn't match. The correct cabling etc. I just did the trip to Halfords.they were really helpful. Just check the speakers are up to scratch.they were good at the one I went to.they didn't try and flog me anything I didn't need and the job was done in an hour or so.£50.
Get a 12 CD changer that connects thru the FM portion of your radio. You can mount it anywhere in the car (I put mine in the trunk) and control it from the drivers seat. You do not have to even remove the radio. It connects to the radio antenna.
