Bought this from flea-bay from a shop in the USA. One of the BEST stereos ive had , APART from, i didn't read the description properly and had found out that it dosn't pick up all FM stations.
The CD/ MP3/ WMA (with ID3 TAG)/ CD-R/ CD-RW compatibility is SOOO fantastic.

HOWEVER

Being such an olf fart, i needed to listen to my local radio station and ,you guest it, it wouldn't pick it up.
Fantastic if you want to listen to cd 's or mp3's all day.

SO

IF YOU BUY A STEREO FROM THE USA ,READ THE SMALL PRINT AND CHECK IF ITS UK FM COMPATIBLE.

GOT THIS ONE NOW (UK)

Now that looks the bees! My minds been swinging from one side to the udder but i think that may have helped. Purchased the single din plate too but couldn't find the dark grey? Any ideas? Got black but want to blend it in.

The reason it doesn't play some stations is because in the USA their bands are in divisions of 9 and ours are in divisions of 10 (or vice versa), so it's only when they coincide that you will receive..............at least I think that's rite

PS I did the same and got stung at customs (£120) for the privelidge

The only way you'll get the right colour match is by buying the single din adaptor from Vauxhall... I know this through experience

Looks like a trip to vauxhall tom then to do a bit of shopping, have to flogg my other one on ebay too, then to get me a new stereo. Anyone want a motorised screen then look at item number 5824949002. Don't really use it that much so decided to get rid.
