I have a CD headunit which is said to have CD changer controls, so I assume changer compatible crazy

This one to be precise

There appear to be 2 or 3 Sony changers available this one looks promising but I cannot find anywhere whether these are compatible with my head-unit...any ideas if all Sony products are interchangeable? confused

A Sony MP3...I realise I can hook it up but there's no where to put it in the coupe and I find the sound isn't that great - really quiet for some reason confused

I think Matty fits the stuff for a living...makes him an expert in my eyes tongue

Yup it's my living I'm afraid. wink

Vicks it's up to you. If you had an IPOD, I haven't blush, I'd suggest getting that interface but you're a but limited with the MP3 player. Sound quality/level is variable, so one track can be just right but the next too quiet or loud.

For the T-69 changer, £130 fitted that's a great price. laugh

"that Matty looks about 12 he doesn't know what he's talking about...."

Don't worry about it cowboy smile

Without taking the ashtray out (which I did and then cussed and swore because I couldn't get it back in grr ) , there's nowhere really to put the MP3 player

Where is the best place to mount a CD changer in the coop boot without it jumping and also not taking up too much space?

Have you done the hack to increase the volume level Vicks? There's some EU reg about volume levels rolleyes which means that all UK Sony MP3 players are limited when sold, but you can change it quite easily by going into the maintenance menu. I did mine when I first got it so I can't remember the details but you should find it on Google OK.

I agree that some tracks play louder than others, which is a pain, but if you buy the adaptor (Bockers will tell you where to get that - I have a memory like a sieve!) you get full control of the unit via the HU, and tag display on the HU too. 6 CD changer or 300 CD MP3 player...??? laugh

I've got mine mounted to the bottom of the parcel shelf in the boot, just to the right of the boot light. It's out of the way there. smile

No hack done but it was bought in the US not UK so...It's loud through earphones, just not when attached to the HU with a cable confused I can turn both the player and the stereo up but I always forget to turn the latter down and get the fright of my life when I just put a CD on or the radio shocked laugh

None of this helps with the issue of where to put the bl*ody thing however rolleyes so I'll probably go with the changer option

Yes. They did have another changer http://www.lowcostcaraudio.co.uk/sh...ZZproductJJ196ZZcategoryJJ/Autochangers/ but it's £170 plus fitting which is a bit much (although it plays MP3 CDs)

Can she not get the code from Sony?

I think a 12 disc might be a bit chunky? confused
