Hi everyone

Anyone able to help?

Model numbers please.

Eeek how many models?

I've just spotted the unit I bought recently and it looks like it's too new for the car, bugger.

What have you got?

I'm in two minds, should I stick with one from the year the car was supplied, or do I cave in to a few more features from a later one? I don't want to go for a DIN sized unit, do it would have to be a 300/700 style unit.

A unit with the external booster connector would be a bonus as I could then make a lead up to plug the MP3 player in ;)

And I'm after some speakers too!

I haven't got any going at the moment. Just asking you to narrow it down a bit.

So it's a 300/700 OEM unit you're looking for circa 1984? Front speakers in the footwells? Front speakers in the doors? Rear speakers in the C-pillars?

Be aware though that really old units like the CR-101 don't have the FM going all the way up to 108....

Unless one comes up for buttons I would save your money mate. They're all dog muck compared to a decent modern HU. Unless it's the OE looks you're after it for? Which again, I'm not a fan lol.

Anyway, check eBay, they come up from time to time - just like front wings. :lol:
