In an ICE dilema

Simondi · 24th October 2007, 20:47

I have a problem.
I currently have a harmony head unit on my 75.
I never listen to tapes, so the tape deck is never used.
I had thought to upgrade to a symphony unit and CD changer but again why pay for a tape deck that I will never use.
Are there any straight single play CD/ radio units that
A) look good ( ie not lots of fancy lights etc that
B) are compatible with steering wheel controls.

Thanks for the help

I've just bought one of these from Halfords today, not had it fitted yet, as they have to order an adaptor. I did a deal at £170 fitted, and that incudes the adaptors for the steering wheel controls. With a usb port on the front, I can plug in my mp3 player and forget the cd changer in the boot.

The CD80 FM/AM RDS Radio CD single disc player was fitted as standard later on, and available cheaply on EBay, also a MP3 version, (have one in the R600)
But if I remember correctly there were reports of problems with this unit not that I have seen any.
