Radio/CD Question

[v8s4me]

Does anyone know if it’s possible to get a head unit which is smaller in depth than a standard unit? It’s all down to the lack of space behind the slot in the centre console (V8S). I was wondering if you could get a hhead unit without a CD player but have some way of plugging in the i-Pod so it doesn’t need to be as long a normal one. Don't want to spend too much as you can't hear it most of the time anyway!

Concerto for V8's & V6's in Italian tunnels or overture for V8 on a mountain pass is my preferred listening but on those long motorway drags (remember France?) it was great to be able to pass the time listening to the i-Pod. Tinks - I can just about get the current unit in but everything would be much easier if I could find a unit about half the length of a standard one. Then all the wiring crap would fit in comfortably.

The ideal piece of kit would combine a radio with a push in slot for the i-Pod and, for obvious reasons, have an earphone socket. Are you online Santa?

Jim- thanks for the suggestion.

Chris - I spoke to Darren and he's going to email some info to me.

Happy Christmas to you both.

Came across this today at Clas Ohlson

Good value at £34.99 and only 88mm deep, and with a USB & memeory card insert.
It's a bit plasticky so I'll be interested to see what Chris's contact comes up with.

Great value indeed, although if it has a CD drive I think it will probably be the standard depth to allow for the disc. Do you happen to know if Aldi do a CD-less one?
