Audio upgrade advice

Hi everyone, seeking some specific advice.

My cd changer has been playing up on my old 2003 E85 3.0 albeit it's working at the moment thanks to some kind assistance from the forum.

I have the business sat nav (the one with the tiny screen) so no cd slot just the multi changer between the seats where the sat nav dvd also resides. I would like to add an 3.5 MM aux in and or USB function but I'm being told by the local car audio people this can't be done without losing the cd changer facility. They have to get to the back of that apparently and connect the gubbins there ( good luck to them as getting to the cd changer is a right PITA.)

They are promoting a couple of GROM products which do what I want but they say the CD player will no longer be available.

Can anyone help me with this or recommend a product that can be used where I do not lose the cd changer?

Cheers.
 
you can put an aux in without losing the cd changer

Cheers MrT. I will check that out.

I've had a look at this but not sure of its suitability due to no single slot cd. I'll contact them !
