Vectra Stereo Replacement

**Craigmeister** · 27th April 2009, 16:30

Does anyone know if a CD 30 CD MP3 Player (I think made by Grundig) will replace a stereo in a Vectra C 2.0 LS (52)? Looks the same shape....don't know if its dimensions are the same?? And if so where is the MP3 socket...? It is on the back..?? Thanks for any help.

No as its a full canbus head unit and yours is half canbus - prepares to be proved wrong

Anyway the CD30MP3 will not have an input for an MP3. It refers to making up a CD with a number of albums on it in which If i'm right it somehow compresses the tracks so you can fit somewhere in the region of 150 tracks, although the more u put on the poorer the quality gets.(or something along those lines)

That unit is incompatible with your year of car.

unless you want to spend loads changing steering wheel/controls/Airbag ISO to Quadlock add extra wires from stereo to GID then to diag plug
So not really worth it tbh

Thanks for you input all. I just wondered if there was an easy way to listen to my MP3 player. Looks like NOT! Cheers all.

First off is it an MP3 or IPOD if IPOD get harmon kardon in car kit it works great in mine crystal clear sound cost around £35,loads of threads on this site for info just search harmon kardon,. If its an ordinary MP3 then get an FM transmitter they tune into spare radio frequency and have ability to accept the 3mm jack plug.
Hope this gives u more scope
