yes its the standard honda cassete and radio deck..but it has a provision for cd changer as it says "cd changer control" on the deck. so i guess there should be some easy way to connect a cd changer to it ..

yeah you can only use the Honda changer....see if anyone is selling one on the for sales section.

you wont find anything in the boot either
Honda changer comes with a cable you run tot the boot for the stacker

yeh get a m-bus changer.. you have to run the cable if there isnt any, but the good thing is you dont need to run anything else such as power wires.

thanks guys .. but now i think i would just replace the head unit.. so can anyone please advise a simple way to pull out the honda head unit ?

yes of course.. i am not going for a changer anymore.. just going to replace the existing cassette radio deck with a pioneer mp3 head unit.. but not really sure how to pull out the honda head unit ..
any suggestions ?

crowbar !!??

if not sure best get it installed by someone who knows what they are doing.

as the wires going into back of honda head unit all wired into socket, two choices, try and get an adaptor or chop the wires and either solder or twist em together to connect to head unit. solder is better!!

if you have not done it before or want a decent job done; ie if it fooks up at a later date you can take it back to who done to it, to get it sorted!!

your choice

yeh get it done by a pro if you havent installed one, taking it out might stuff up the console etc... and the pros do it neater.

watch a pro do it the first time then its a lot easier for you to do it after that

bro, if i knew who you are, then i'd fit ur new head unit in 4 u.....only reason is coz i've got a 97 lude, n i've changed my head unit myself

its pretty easy to change....just pull off the plate surrounding the head unit with a screw driver.....i did that to mine n i didnt damage anything
