We’ve just bought a Laguna, my wife’s old company car.

The car was purchased as, is with its faults and nuances. The main annoyance was the CD player packed up about 3 months ago and I had to disconnect it as a short circuit was flattening the car’s battery. Now the car is in our ownership I am looking for a replacement CD player.

I am not looking to spend more than about £100, would preferably like Bluetooth handsfree and a USB/AUX IN.

Would this fit the bill? I have already ordered a single din surround for the car.

I thought I would ask on PH just before I hit the trigger and see if anyone can suggest a better alternative.

It's replacement, the CDE-113BT smile Will be out of budget, but does everything very well. I also have a Kenwood HU - quality and features are good, fiddly to use on the move though.
Bought this - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&am...

What is the existing radio in the laguna like - is it single din sized? Is the screen part of it, or elsewhere on the dash? may be easier to get a like for like replacement off ebay?
Single Din - bought a surround for it. It's a phase 2 Laguna II
