There is no cable, there is no mount, there is not even the correct bit of trim to hide it behind. I'm going for an ipod with the adapter. -- Catman MIB#14 SKoGA#6 TEAR#4 BOTAFOF#38 Apostle#21 COSOC#3 Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright (Remove rust to reply) Alfa 116 Giulietta 3.0l (Really) Sprint 1.7 75 TS 156 TS S2 166 V6 2.5 Suzuki Bandit 600 Triumph Sprint ST 1050: It's blue, see. www.cuore-sportivo.co.uk |

Doesn't make sense that a car like that wasn't specced with a CD player, to be honest. Hence my not being able to find any other explanation for it. -- SteveH 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' www.italiancar.co.uk - Honda VFR800 - Hongdou GY200 - Alfa 75 TSpark Alfa 156 TSpark - B6 Passat 2.0TDI SE - COSOC KOTL BOTAFOT #87 - BOTAFOF #18 - MRO # - UKRMSBC #7 - Apostle #2 - YTC # |

The CD / Satnav should be over the battery, with the lining going vertically upwards. Mine cuts in above the battery and obviously never had a changer. Unless someone replaced the boot lining as well. > > Hence my not being able to find any other explanation for it.

I did a quick google for 166 changers when you asked t'other day. The head unit is made by someone like Becker, meaning the changers aren't compatible with the cheaper off-the-shelf units used in the 156 and 147. > Also, any idea if I can fit my parrot? No idea. -- SteveH 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' www.italiancar.co.uk - Honda VFR800 - Hongdou GY200 - Alfa 75 TSpark Alfa 156 TSpark - B6 Passat 2.0TDI SE - COSOC KOTL BOTAFOT #87 - BOTAFOF #18 - MRO # - UKRMSBC #7 - Apostle #2 - YTC # |
