What can I replace the CD changer with?
« on: January 15, 2018, 12:51:05 pm »
So my car has a CD changer but it's been disconnected to connect up a Dension iPod/AUX unit so it's useless.

I can probably figure out how to remove it but is there a cubby or something that cars come with when they don't have a CD changer?

I did this to. They are only £6-7 on ebay. I then ordered a double USB power adaptor and fitted it in there so my kids could plug ipads etc in the back of the car.

Put one of these in mine as the CD changer was missing when purchased. The storage space is helpful.....
