sorry wasnt the best worded was it Basically i want ot keep the originality theme in my new black mk1 but i want a CD player too.

Now i have a mk2 Headunit with the round Cd player plug on the rear for the toyota CD player that i also have. but that has the active wiring and i dont have an active system in my car and i can see that being really really awkward and quite difficult problem to resolve. So i was wondering did toyota ever fit the MK1s with Headunits that have the Toyota CD player round plug but were not the non amplified Active type. :thumleft:

Toyota did do a double din cd/cassette player that was an extra in later mk1's, VERY rare I think as it was very expensive then

ive got the single din Cd player i just need a single din Stereo radio/cassette thats internally amplified that takes the round Multichanger connector.

problem is i dont think that will exsist as you wont want the super good head unit without the super good amplified subs etc.

I am not sure I understand what you want, but if you try explain the connection issue I might sugget building some mini circuit to make up for the 'missing' feature - if I can understand exactly what you don't have to make it work at the moment.

I'm not sure what you are after but i still have the SC SE edition cd player that came out of my SC, i think it takes over the whole gap .
It's a cd over tape unit, it all works well other than it needs to have the Jap thing sorted for it's radio frequency :)
I'm not sure at the moment what it is worth but might be putting it on ebay.
Pm me if you are interested.

Indeed, 3 of them went in the skip when BOK motorsport relocated (as well as tons of spares) I tried to save them but was to late :cry:

I have the double din out of Jaspa (my rev 1 mk2) could you not swap that in? I'm guessing they will be very similar if not the same.

I'll see if it is down here and bring it on Sunday if it is. I think it may be in Norwich with the rest of the car though

Ah, Good point. Didn't have any speakers in Cubby holes if that means yay or nay?
