google? :mad:

could you post up a pic of the front face, normally , there should be a old skool "source" button, to flick through radio and tape and whatever conencted, click through until you get source is cd changer, then its a up and down normally?? or if its like the more modern ones, push a folder looking button, then up and down? cant remember.. get a pic up mate :)

I got this head unit to go with an Ai net changer i already had.
Didnt realize this head unit was MBUS? so bought a connector from car audio direct,fitted the changer today and it loads up fine,set the menu to AUX on,plays tuner and CD in main player fine but nothing from the changer-does all that make any sense?

Ill take a pic of it now,but dont laugh,it only cost £41 :mad:

Thanks Ian and Dazleeds for that!

Seems i cant use the Ai net changer with MBUS head unit even with the convertor lead(B4stard)so looks like ill have to upgrade 1 of the 2 units again!

Anyone want to buy either 1 of them? :cry:
