Connecting an MP3 player to OEM V5 headunit

[ndwall]

I am thinking of connecting my Creative Vision M to the Standard Seat headunit in my V plate 150 V5. I would prefer not to use the tape connection thingy which are about £4 on Ebay.

Anyone done this? If so how.

Thanks in advance

Nick

I havn't used one, but I know SONY do an AUX input box


...you have to do away with the CD changer though

well if you are interested i have a sony head unti for sale that is cd changer compatable and has an aux in so if you have a phono input swapper thingy which are about a tenner then you can have the cd changer and mp3 both connected and can easily switch between the two at the flick of a switch.

Can any CD changer be fitted in the glove box? Was thinking of swapping both the HU and changer for MP3 compatible items...

With a little bit of work or if you're lucky

Panasonic units are a direct fit. I've got a MD changer in my glovebox now and it fits in the hole, it just rattled around a bit for a while so I've packed some gloves down the side till I can make some brackets.
