My own experience with the japanese hi fi's is that they never work properly and no matter how flash they are I always bin them and replace with a decent UK CD player - if its double din then its easy enough to add a cubby box (or BMW clock :wink: ) to fill the spare slot.

Hi ya and welcome to bongoland


I am in wsm too.
The cd in mine worked ok but swaped it for a uk spec as it was dificult to work out which station from the frequency shown.

Also the new one has bluethooth in for the phone

The Double Din item looks a winner http://www.ads-shop.com/Code_iE0626_Reg ... 99/201.htm
I have scoured the "Interweb" for something like this and have found similar items but not as comprehensive as this one. I wonder what it looks like with the screen away ( It pays not to advertise)
