Don't forget that you may be able to sell your existing ICE system to offset the new double din costs.

Hmm, yes had factored that in. The trouble is I had my heart set on a Sony DD unit that would work 'out of the box' with my existing Multichanger and steering wheel controls.

I could go down a different manufacter route but then would have to buy new steering wheel control interface and multichanger!

Decisions, decisions!

Have you considered an Ipod ready HU?

Thousands of songs at the touch of a button!

DJAndyB · 26th January 2008, 00:38

Stop calling me HU!

Ah that's another thing I'd have to buy - an ipod!

My current HU is MP3 compatible and I have a 10 disc mp3 Multichanger in the boot!

I'm sure there are many more options I must explore, I'd like to get some screens in the headrests for little'un too!

It's giving me sleepless nights the worry, that's why i'm posting on here, now!

Lord only knows what SWMBO would think if she knew of my plans!

I'd recommend that to you Andy, regardless of the cost I mean. There are some good deals on fifth generation IPOD video now and you could end up like me with your ENTIRE CD collection on a single IPOD, never having to worry about changing CDs again.

Have you considered the Eclipse Sat NAV DD HU (sorry called you HU again :lol

? Not to everyones taste, possible, but gives a lot of functions for relatively little money. Paul and I think they are great:
