Hi guys, newbie Quins here. I've inherited my mother in laws JLX, (we call it Ribena, because of the colour!) and I'm trying to find a cd radio to go in it. I know nothing about these things, I've tried a coupe of google searches for one at a breakers and only returned one but the reviews for the yard were terrible. Any ideas where I could pick one up. The wiring is there, in the space, where the original one should be, just a void at the moment.
Grateful.
Quins
Ps, got to say what fun it is to drive!

What Twiss said...for £50 you can get a very good Sony or Panasonic one
If it ticks over...leave it

Re: R reg Vitara JLX needs cd player
Thanks guys, I took a look at the units, they do look good value. We've not ventured into MP3 territory, all old cars. Might be time to move on.
The Halfords web site says I will need a converter £12 ish same thing in Amazon is about £2.50, is there a catch? ( same part number and description).

Re: R reg Vitara JLX needs cd player
Do you have a link for the converter? Is it for the loom or an adapter to fit the hole in the dash?

CDs don't play well when the going gets rough, SD cards are the way to go and you can fit a lot of music on one.
