If you're happy with the system, just get another ccr800 from ebay - they do pop up from time to time.  Nothing else will work with your changer.

As long as you have your code number for the stereo, you should only need the replacement panel that you dropped.

The code is retained in the stereo, and if an incorrect fascia is inserted it will come up with a warning message, but this can usually be overridden in the vehicle by following the code entry procedure again as it will pair the new front to the rear.

From memory, not over expensive from Vauxhall, or look for a knackered 800 on ebay, as to date, I have never seen a faulty panel !!

I have a fully working CCR800 head unit here with cage and code, all the rest of the system has been sold elsewhere so its all I have left...if you want it then pm me back...probably cheaper than getting a replacement code from Vaux! lol Will even throw in a spare rear door bose speaker that I have left...
