Hi all, relatively new bongonaut, bought a silver 'y' reg 2.0 ltr petrol bongo from n.m.a. cars (hayling island) in july. Radio in the vehicle is not too clever, can anyone suggest a suitable all singing all dancing replacement i.e cd/dvd player/radiothat will fit? cheers.

i have a halfords ripspeed DV720 cd/radio/motorised dvd [ see link]

it is single din and easy to fit. excellent sound thru bongo speakers and good pic on dvd. currently reduced but plenty on flea bay second hand although they usually fetch £75 to £100 so new is better bet at £129.99.

lots of others on here have them , i think there's a few pics if you look.

plenty of connectors for other screens [ mine is linked to 2 others] but no AV in for a reversing camera should you want one.

Wharfedale do one that has AV in for a camera , cant comment on quality but looks ok [ see link to one on ebay s/h]

As said any single "DIN" will fit you just need a Mazda to ISO/DIN wiring convertor.

Or a double din if you want.

I was going to suggest that, but didn't want to confuse things further.
