Hello all,
Complete newbie here (and to forums in general). Driven all sorts over the years but needed a cheap diesel last year and my grandfather recommended an Almera (yes, i know!). Went out and got a 2003 2.2 DCI. Absolutely superb machine. A real joy on A roads! It's quick, reliable and comfortable. What more can you ask for for 1200 quid!
My issue is the damn cd players. I've looked around on here and it seems to be an issue. When i bought the car there was already a cd jammed into the standard head unit up front but this wasn't too much of an issue as i had the 6 disc changer up back. Recently, that has started to play up and as all my music is mp3 these days, i wonder if someone with the right knowledge can help me out.
Ideally, i'd like to swap out the changer at front for an aftermarket unit with an aux fitting. I'm handy enough (just) to do things myself with a good guide and realise i would need to do some soldering somewhere along the way.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Type of head unit i need to buy etc?
My dash is the one without the sat nav.
Regards
Greg
