Radio/CD Question
Discussion
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?

Look for a head unit that has CD changer control but no CD drive as well as the IPod stuff.
I'm looking on www.celstores.com just picked out alpine IDA X311 if you ring them speak to Darren Waddingham if he's there and say I told you to call him .

If the original unit is working OK in terms of the casette player (that was the best bit of the radio in my S) you could always get one of the casette adaptors and plug an MP3 player (assume ipod is the same) into that. I've got that in the Griff and it works fine - not that the radio doesn't but then the V8 is sound enough ...its good in the S as well though!

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.
