hi guys. im wanting to change my radio/stereo unit as the cd player is faulty. cd only plays when its cold and sometimes makes a racket like a cd is jumping inside when there isnt even a cd in. im looking at a CD/DVD/MP3/IPOD sscreen stereo but unsure if itl fit my 53 plate vectra 2 litre turbo? heres the link to the one im wanting to get.

take my advice.......and im sure others will agree - dont throw good money away on these head units.

they offer all the gadgets and they are totally pish.

cheaply made in china - the build quality just isnt there at all.
the touch screen will stop working after a wee while and thats the start of your problems.

spend an extra couple of hundred and buy a good quality name i.e pioneer, jvc etc................this is the only way you'll get something that will last longer than a fortnight.

Have you tried a cd lens cleaner in your existing cd player? I understand the lasers are about £10 to buy??
