Hi People,
new member here and seeking some knowledge about a Mk 1 (1999) 1.8 5 door. This was my wifes car until recently ( and boy did we have some fun with head gaskets, bearings, electric windows etc etc!). Anyway cured all the probs over the years and the car was, and is, a good motor. Now then, we gave the car to my mother who absolutely adores it and would never entertain another vehicle - she does about 1000 miles a year - yes, one thousand! The car has the factory R770 stereo tape player fitted - beige colour - but mother wants a CD player - single. I have looked on fleabay and the workshop manual (which I still have), and do not want to get involved in fitting a multi CD unit. So after all that meandering intro the question is - is there a direct replacement single CD head unit for the R770, preferably in beige but black would have to do, or do I need to go to one of those shops with experts who will sell me a head unit with some sort of adapter lead and plug that costs more than the head unit? You know what I mean!
Knowledge and experience gratefully received.
