I have the Philips CARiN satnav installed in my car (it is now supported by VDO Dayton) which also operates as the CD player.

I don't have a lot of money to spend but was a little surprised at the price quoted for a matching CD changer:

1. 6 disc CD changer (VDO model No. CDC026) @ £194.99
fitting would be £82.25

Could members offer their thoughts on the price, and whether other manufacturers units might be able to work with the head unit?

Additionally does anyone have experience of the Satnav Shop (http://www.satnavshop.com) in Birminghams' Sparkbrook area?

Thanks in advance.

The Philips and VDO changers are the same. The 'reason' they tend to be expensive is that it's digital (duh! - but the signal from the changer remains digital until it goes through the DAC in the head unit)

Although it's less electronics, you get the Audiophile type of pricing.

I've used caraudiosecurity.com in the past - but they don't do VDO

The changer you need is S602 - you should be able to pick one up, and the installation is a doddle.

It seems the RC026 could also work? Check out these links....
