CD multichangers to fit std headunit??

Post by Timmo »

hi all! another question for you techy bods!
is there a list available of CD multi changers that are compatible with the std head units in the Xantia??
head unit has cd control but is only a tape unit, be nice to keep the steering controlls rather than change complete head unit (will do if no joy)
beleive it to be the clarion unit?? - handbooks in the car at the good lady's work so cant check at the mo but is in an '98 SX estate.

ta muchly in advance

Timmo.

Hi Timmo!
I,m sure you have already checked but my 1999 hdi sx estate has a clarion head unit and the cd changer is located in the boot (passenger side) behind the flap just in front of the rear light cluster.
I hope you dont mind me commenting on something you have probably already checked on, but i thought it was worth saying it anyway!!

I had a sony mp40 head unit in my Xantia worked with all the steering controls fine.I now have it in my C5 with a 6 disc mp3 changer in the back still works with all the steering controls.

Hi Timmo!
sorry ive been a while replying!! just had a look on cd changer, model number is 96 337 663 product number is PU-2146A, couldn,t see any other numbers!! mite be worth checking if there is a lead present in cubby hole to fit a changer otherwise you will have to get one as well i spose. Hope that helps!!!

Hi again!!
Just a thought, but does the head unit have a cd button on it like mine has? if it hasn,t i would assume it,s not compatable with a changer.
Hope i,m not stating the obvious to you!!!
Regards (again)

hi fella, have found LOads of 2146b's but no a's! the b's were fitted to all the pug range, 206 upwards,
will keep my eye's open but may look into a fascia and remote plug in to keep the wheel controls, and drop in a nice head unit with and Aux plug in,
although, have been tempted to grab a cassette to 3.5mm adapter and use the std on that way!! weve both got enough stored on our phones or fill up an old mp3 player with random tunes form the compuer to keep us going!!! :wink:
