Default Premium Sound My ***

My Premium Sound 6stacker decided to eat my CD`s today jam up and is completley stuffed. I need an aftermarket stereo. But how do i get an aftermarket one to go right in the dash seeing the preshitmium sound takes up half the dash? Anyone got any pics of after market CD players in place of Premium Sound ones?

Cheers.

I got a grey pocket for mine and painted it as the black I found wasn't a good match for the dash. Septone satin black plastic paint is a near perfect match for the AU black dash.

I have the grey pocket as well ... and couldn't be bothered painting it.

Here's a pic.

if you get this www.thecat.net.au and fit it with selected alpine HUs it will give you reliable steering wheel controls the cat will work with other HUs but the "connection" is infrared and unreliable in bright sunlight. I have this with an Alpine and it works well. i tried it first with a kenwood and infrared and it was a PITA. any one want to buy my old kenwood
