believe it does, as when it came, it had the tape player and cd changer in it. i then put my current sony headunit in, but its started skipping on mp3 cds, so needs replacing. im assuming all the wiring is there already. had no issues with the sony jobby. thinking of a jvc unit now thats £80 too

Lg make decent electronics and for the price you can't argue, i got my lg phone soaking wet, 1 day in the airing cupboard and it's running sweet again.

And what bootsy said, it's a 5 minute job with a wiring adaptor, did this with my jdm after having some weird pioneer model inside, she was only in the uk for 3 months bless.

Thumbs up

Got my present Sony that plays MP3s for £89 off the net, it arrived the next day.

GT300, or something? It has an i-Pod in on the front panel. I like Sonys, and I also like their steering column remote

Alcazar

BTW: I'd NOT buy from Halfrauds: my youngest chose some Kenwood speakers. They were on SPECIAL OFFER at Halfrauds, for £49.99. He paid £29.99 off the net, delivered free!

They also offer price match, but only if a local store is doing it cheaper, so that pretty much rules out pricematch in Scunny

ended up getting this from halfords after price checking it around...

JVC KD-G331 CD Player from Halfords Price £69.99 Half Price Store Fitting

is about £60 on ebay, but then you pay for delivery too, so for the sake of going into halfords and checking out the sound quality myself and having a good look around, i think ive made a decent decision.

i didnt/dont want all this bluetooth, ipod etc nonsence... just a cd player that plays mp3 tracks ive stolen off the net
