mfd and cd's

[bigdave982]

So ive been toying with fitting the mfd in the gal
Got the surround and switches coming, bought the head unit ,supposedly with disc and a code
Now reading up on it i see it reported these dont play cds ,presumably they use a changer (doh)!!!!!


Is this correct ?

If so this is no good to me so its likely itll all be for sale soon!

By the looks of it the Bosch sat nav unit serves only as a control unit for the separate CD changer unfortunately, seems a bit odd that it can read the navigation disc but not an audio CD!

Blaupuntkt lol but yeah seems stupid

Correct, it can't play audio cd's and is purely for the mapping.

Why can't you use a changer? As an alternative, you could use an MP3 SD-Card Emulator. This is what I used to have and basically mimics a CD Changer for the MFD but plays MP3's from an SD card instead. Much smaller then a changer and more in-keeping with the digital era!

Here's a link, I bought mine 2nd hand for a fraction of that price but it gives the idea:
