CD/Radio Head Unit Compatibility

[guest3237]

Hi, newbie, please excuse!

My wife runs a 2003 Jazz with Radio Cassette unit.  Could I replace it with the following without (much) modification?  your help would be most appreciated.

Yes it's possible.
You can remove the cassette player and plug the CD player without any problems.

The harness to conect both is the same, there is no sense for honda (including costs) to change to a special connector just for the cassette.

If the fascia panel compatible from 2003-2007 than the CD unit has to fit:

Woah hold on..that fascia is a tad expensive

Thats a much cheaper one - is on a few other topics in this section, think the cost including p&p comes to about £72

see this topic regarding it: http://clubjazz.org/forum/index.php?topic=2684.0

^^^ that is far cheaper than the one's i've seen on any uk site's. Another option of course is the connet2 adapter. Im running that with my ipod on mine and it's amazing!

[guest2765]

^ think thats similar to what ive got...one of the Tape to MP3 converters I bought off amazon for about £5 works a treat..

I was not happy with the sound quality of that adapter tape... that`s why I fitted a new headunit.

[guest3161]

This is what i used. Great sound quality for what it is.

Cant see the ebay thing you posted until i get home tonight.

[guest3161]

You should try it. It plugs into the aux output for the cd changer....plug and play.

[guest2765]

We have an aux out for a multiplayer? oh wait...i get you now...haha nah ill stick with the tape to mp3 converter for now

[guest3161]

Yup, you have to take out the stereo but that no big deal.

[guest2765]

ach when i do eventually take out the radio itll be to change it for something a little more up to date not bothering with an aux port while my tape to mp3 converters are cheap ^^

You may also need a PC5-141 aerial adaptor lead for your 2003 car:

The lead appears to be sold by Amazon UK
