Thread: Fit a Mp3 in place of CD Stacker in D2

If the head unit has as auxiliary jack you can plug the ipod into that. Alternatively get a new headunit with a cd player instead of the cassette deck and remove the stacker. A new head unit should have an aux jack & my new one has a usb port as well - I rip all my cds onto a usb thumb drive & use that.

If you can work out which 2 wires to the cd stacker carry the audio signal you can solder in a headphone jack to plug into your MP3 player I'd imagine. I did it with an old alpine head unit years ago like that.

Mate these days you can get a relatively inexpensive head unit that will talk to your iPhone/iPod over bluetooth and play all your music wirelessly. Pretty cool.

Then you can rip out the stacker and have space for a compressor or more storage under the seat.

Handsfree phone is a bonus too.

Jaycar unit is in my car. No CDs etc in the car since. 1500 songs fit easily into the coin tray on 5 x SD cards.

Grom Audio make a device the replaces the CD player under the seat, and you can plug in your iphone, other phone or MP3 player in. Depending on the device, you can then control it from the steering wheel controls.

I've fitted a GROM, wiggled it underneath the head unit inside the dash. It connects an Ipod classic that lives in the glovebox. Great setup and I still have the steering wheel controls and rear stereo controls. You can also fit a Bluetooth setup to the GROM and have everything integrated.

Only trick is that they only make the GROM for the alpine head unit. You could pick up one of those for very little money but it's hard to justify buying something so old.

Unless you really like the OEM look, you might be better off getting something aftermarket that will do everything in one.

Autobahn current special -pioneer cd, mp3 wma player with aux input $80!
