6 disc in dash stacker, straight replacement for single cd unit?

[private9]

Hi All,

Sorry for the noob question, but couldn't find anything after searching.

Just wondering if this will be a straight fit (ie plug straight in, no extra wiring) to replace my single cd unit?

Thanks,

Justin.

Yes..

Yep it'll work fine. You won't have that pocket underneath handy anymore though! ;)

That's ok, don't have that pocket anyway! (Double din, single cd)

Ahh, nothing to miss and all to gain! If it does work flawlessly like stated you will be one of the few without the infamous appetite for cds.

Good stuff!

Yeah, I have heard quite a few bad things about them, and I do have a few aftermarket units lying around, but I just can't be stuffed doing anything extra at the moment!

I think you should buy it! lol

Thats looks like a premium sound HU.

Which means you wont have any output from the rear speakers as you will need the amp that comes with the premium package.

However, the normal S2 & S3 single cd player HU will be direct replacement and will power all 4 speakers.

series one into series one fine series 2/3 into series 2/3 fine but you can't do series 1 to series 2/3 or vica versa

Ohhh yeah, forgot about that one, thanks! I think it's from a S2 though, but after looking at it again just then, I don't think the colour is the same as mine, so I might give it a miss.

U can put a series 2 into a series 1 i have done it but making the button on your steering wheel work is another battle, which i should be attempting in the not to distant future(when i have time), though u might have to do a lil bending and filing to get the head unit in as there not identical, i wish i didn't get the 6 stacker now coz they really need an amp to decent clarity and volume out of compared to aftermarket which u can get away with.

Thanks for the advice guys! Looks like it's sold anyway now. Probably a good thing too, as I've just bought more accessories for the AU that I didn't need, plus another car.
