You can get lucky and it be an easy fit. Mine was (I bought a nice Sony unit off ebay for about £45). You need flat metal pieces for slipping down the sides of the old unit to depress the lock catches and then pull it out and that may require a bit of a knack and some patience. You then have to hope the connector on your new head plugs straight in to the connector in the Bongo. Mine did, but if it doesnt there is an adapter piece you can buy. Someone on here who is more clued up than me will no doubt be along to advise but places like Halfords will fit units for a reasonable charge (especially if bought from them - better ask if they will fit ones you haven't bought from them and at what charge). I agree about teh CD changers. They seemed a really cool thing not many years ago - now they seem like a waste of space and just trouble, what with mp3 players etc. When I was looking to buy, I remember a couple of Bongo sellers trying to convince me that theirs having one was a bonus. I just saw it as something that got in the way of useful camping gear storage space and would probably get kicked and damaged. Hey ho.

PS - I see peanutcrusher (who understands this stuff) has offered to help

thankyou ill have a go i have got one of those things that you put in the tape bit that you then plug your i pod into it s good but the real thing will be better, that multichange thing is so slow by the time i get the track im looking for i end up in the works car park.

will the monster cd thing just pull out, i think it may be plugged into the radio.

so the cd unit is in the glove box i take if so does the glove box look standard.
the multi changer should just plug into the back of the radio (head unit) what make is the radio?

i am just going outside to look

i have had a look it is all kenwood yes it is takeing up the glove compartment

I tried one of those plug in cassette things and was not impressed. Took it back. I believe the ones that tune into a radio station on the head unit work better though still not perfect.

i have taken the bull by the horns and ordered a new kenwood so i hope it will fit,

my god i am sure im falling in love with my bongo, i also washed it today and i have the urge to go and sleep in it in the driveway.

If you can't work out how to fit your new radio, bring it to Aylesbury and I'll fit it for you

Now there's an offer you can't refuse. I lovely drive through the Chilterns to Aylesbury and an even lovelier one on the way back with a new head unit fitted. stringman is a star (but I can't remember what beer he drinks)
