I`d stick with the CDR2005 every day

Much better unit

  

Based on what?

Based on the fact that we see one of those for repair to about 50 of the CCR2006 units, spares are still available, the unit appears to be more reliable, and the later Siemens version is virtually bulletproof !

Only fault is the fascia pcb edge connector - and that is caused by nothing more than being heavy handed when you remove it and damaging it.

CD Changer issues aside, do you see many issues with CCR2006?  We know they have suspect, and unavailable, lasers, and a bad case of Alzhiemers....

Not really, Its only ever the CD side that let the model down - but then thats not surprising as Philips never did make reliable Changers !

The rest of the unit seems pretty reliable, the odd audio IC and power regulator, but nothing much - mainly decodes.

Oh, and that edge connector is not just the Omega, its right across the range on every 1990/00`s Vauxhall that had a double din up to around 2004.

Yeah, I have had a few Rovers, I know the Philips changers ain't great  

The NCDR single DIN series also have the same gay setup with that connector, though seem to hold together better (probably as everyone has the right keys to remove them )

My CD has the CDR2006 unit in it.....

If i got a unit with the multiplay cd built in(cant remember the number)
Is it a simple remove,plug in and refit?

Or is that just wishfull thinking?

Just wishful thinking, mine needed a slight modification to be able to slot straight in.
In answer to is it a better sound.  I've just swapped my CDR2005 for a CCR2006 and yes it is, even my wife noticed that and she knows nowt about cars.

I think i'll keep the 2005 for now and my plan i think (eventually) is to get one of the units that fold out to a small screen,since the dash has the big space for the radio
