Leon CD changer

[bensaud]

Does any one know if i have to buy Seat's over priced CD changer that fits in the Glove box?
I was told by someone that i can fit a Panasonic 10 disc changer (in the boot)similar to what is fitted into the Audi A3, is this true and can anybody point me in the right direction as to getting one or even a Grundig unit that is not so over priced


Cheers

There is indeed a Panasonic one (or possibly 2?) available that will fit (with an appropriate interface lead).

Before you do that though, if you are capable of fitting it yourself, give Darren a call at Amethyst in Cheltenham and see what price he will do the pukka VAG group one for on a supply only basis. I have to say it's not the best changer in the world, not least because it's a complete B**CH getting CDs in and out of the cartridge.

Hi Daz

When i get a spare £200 it will be worth visiting you. I think a chip will come first though

Yes - being ripped off again.

It seems to be generally accepted that options, accessories and add-on extras are quite a bit cheaper on the continent than they are here.

welcome to the world of the strong pound my man , as for it being at £175 thats coz its all done in with the car order , as here if its factory ordered its cheaper ,as you dont have to pay for a techies time to fit etc

as for leon , to be honest its easy enough to do ya self anyway

Flapper, how do I get the CD changer out of my wife's written off V5? Do I just lever off the plastic surround and then unscrew it? Is it fixed with Torx screws?
Anything else worth recovering before it goes to the knackers yard?

What did she do to it? Get her a mini next time, a V5 is far too much power for a woman!

That's a joke before my missus rips my nuts off!

Dizzy cow wasn't looking where she was going!
Went into the back of a builders truck and took out a Ford Granada and Rover 800 whilst taking evasive action...
Anybody know about the CD? I'm off to see it this afternoon...

 

[Fl@pper]

probably too late BUT , yes the surround clips off and is held in with two cross headed screws or torx , depends how old it is

GRAB US THE ENGINE+box while ya there

Daz, thanks, I've acquired a CD autochanger somehow

Couldn't fit the engine or gearbox in my rucksask, sorry m8
I was expecting it to be fitted with a connector but I had to "cut" the wires. Can I get hold of a connector and have you got a wiring diagram? It'll either go in the new Cupra 4 or anybody interested for £100???

I have a sony CDX-T69 6 disc changer in my glove box all properly fitted connected to my original headunit (aura cd). all you need is the converter box and the disc changer which, is alot cheaper than the original seat one and better in my opinion. you can pick one up on ebay for about 40 quid at the moment.

 

[olliep]

there are loads of changers for leon around. grundig/panasonic. have a butchers

 

[Jebbo]

You not got an mp3 player? For the prices you're being quoted why dont you just get a new head unit with an mp3 line in, you can pick up cheapo ones for £60 Cant remember the last time i put a cd in my car since changing mine.

I just pulled a sony 6 disc out of mine . I have the box and leads to make it work with the aura headset . will be putting it up on ebay shortly . Would imagine for around 30-40 squid if interested . Also have the aura tape player if anyone interested in that to !!
