There is no CD changer available that will fit in beeza without converter. I checked all models including whole Panasonic range.
Converters are very expensive starting from cca. 50€ and more.

What to do?
The cheapest way is to get Clarion 6 disk CD changer which includes (serial) also converter for beeza. This costs 305€.

The second way is to get Kenwood 10 disk + converter for 345€.

Then you can buy also Sony, but the rest is to expensive.


So, again! There is no CD-Changer but serial seat cd changer that fits without converter.

Serial CD changer costs 464 €.

All prices are with VAT.


Hope it helps for someone!
Have fun listening...

however the bets option I believe is to go the sony plus covertor route . I'll explain why , Halfords will supply and fit it for £199. The changer and the convertor is connected to each other via normal RCA conectors enabling you to place a Preamp in between . This there for will give you proper Rca style and quality out for Cd replay which therefore gives you the ability to conect it up to amps with 1st class quality ( Not haveing to rely apon infearor quality speaker level conection) .

I hope I have not lost anyone , I will take pictures of what im on about and explain it in more detail but asically you with have a dah mounted EQ style preamp which you can mount on the dash which would control the volume going to your amps . In my system I will use the standard rear speakers for playing the Radio through the standard Seat head unit and the front and sub shall be controled and ran through the dash mounted preamp . Check out the likes of Audio Control equipment which do preamps that are just the job . However all the big names make units that will do the same job.

I shall update the forum with pics and diagrams in the next week . I am thinking of using Focal speakers up front and for the single 12" sub in a stealth box in the boot. Any changes that anyone would recomend to my system let me know.

I checked many coverters, but it seames that the one that is build for Audi Chorus (which is not blaupunkt anymore, but grunding) works. It's logical since the radio in beeza is from Grunding.

So the newest 6 CD changer from Clarion (can't remember the type right now) + converter for audi (for Chorus) and it works.

It costed me 288 €.


I'm impressed since the new Clarious model is 4 cm cmaller than previous model, so maybe it can be installed in the glovebox?

I got an Audi CD changer fitted by the dealer and it's 100% compatible with the beezer's head unit (they say that model goes into the Leons too). I got it for free.

check the connector is rectangular as most of the AUDI ones are round ?

My connector is round, with lots of pins inside. Does this mean i got a converter?! I've never seen the SEAT CD connector to be the honest ;).

I bought a genuine Seat one from the dealer (inc. brackets) for £240 and fitted it myself, piece of cake, 1/2hr tops. It's the same as the one in the accesories catalogue at £350 fitted.
