Radio transplants/upgrading
« on: 10 September 2010, 10:40:31 »
hows it going everyone? 

i appologies in advance if im asking goofy questions  ;D

i have a w reg cdx omega with the cassette/4 cd changer radio which i assume came as standard. works great apart from the fact it cant read CD-rs

i was just wondering, would there be any newer variations of that system with a cd player that could read CD-Rs, would still work with on dash screen/steering wheel controls and still had a cassette player?

cheers in advance
OO

Several options to get a unit that will talk to the MID and Steering controls..

I use a pioneer, with adaptor for this in our 2 cars.

as for cassette!  dont think so to be honest not heard of anyone fitting one for years, let alone a model advanced enough to talk to the car.

do you really need tapes any more  :-/

can you not copy them to cd / mp3

or are you getting new stuff put onto tape for some reason?

i share the car with my dad who still records his band sessions onto tape, so i was trying to find a "middle ground" but i guess it may have to go! may just keep a tape player in the glove box  ;D

I honestly dont think you will get something that will tick all your boxes...

Upgrade you Dad is probably the best solution  ;D

get him recording to something solid state and put it on disk / memory stick and open a world of car audio opportunities
