Does this play MP3's?

I wont be getting my hands on the car for 10 days...its being prepped etc...

If it dont play MP3's i will be very dissapointed!!!!!!!!!!! :headbang:
 
nope, had to be very late 2005+... sorry.

you can swap the head unit if you can find a later one (ebay) but as the mp3 ones are black you'll probably want to swap the vents above it too, to make them match. unfortunately don't even bother thinking about swapping the changer, you have to remove half the rear end of the car to get to it.

good news is, for about £30 you can add an auxiliary in to play your ipod or whatever, which will still sound great through the carver; there's a useful guide on here.

enjoy your new ride!
 
I fitted this to mine
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Harman-kardon-Drive-vehicle-built/dp/B000DZ834W

I put the Ipod in the center glove box (where the phone would go on the handsfree kit) and used the strap to hold the ipod. It great i can just unplug it and use it at the gym and then put it back once i have finnished. if your interested ill get some pictures and post them.

Forgot to mention, FM transmitters are rubbish. But this also has a ipod cable connection so it sounds great.
 
I'm leaning towards an Aux fit guys...

I have looked at the DIY guide...seems fairly easy.

One question if i use the Aux, will that make the changer redundant? I think it might as the DIY guide pulls the CD changer socket out of the headunit, and plugs int he Aux instead..

Cheers
 
My CD changer still works fine with the AUX :D

Seems I assumed the plugs I had to merge were for the cd changer but were for the bluetooth. In any case everything still works in my car :D

I don't have carver though...
 
If you have satnav, I would rip the CD changer out and put an Intravee in place. If you don't have satnav, I would not do that ...
 
someone really needs to go back and edit that aux post, seems confusion still lingers.. :tumbleweed:

Ive edited at least some of my posts on that thread... but then some people quoted me :(

Maybe we need a new thread with the main details in rather than the 11 page behemoth it has become with all it's twists and turns and repeated questions :roll:
