| Double DIN head units I'm fancying one of those double DIN sized DVD/MP3/CD/radio efforts (the one that is just a screen, nothing else to see), but I was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to get a unit that can control the Skoda CD changer. I assume Skoda don't actually make their own unit, so.....who does make it? Maybe it will be possible to get a HU from the same manufacturer??

| Re: Double DIN head units If they H/U recognises the cd changer installed then you can control the changer from the H/U otherwise how would you play a CD that was from the changer?

| Re: Double DIN head units Bugger!! Guess I'll have to buy another that is a similar size so it will fit under the seat!!! Kenwood or Alpine looking favourite so far.

| Re: Double DIN head units I thought you could buy the Skoda MFD, do a search on here and you'll find it. It also includes the satnav and does fit and will control the changer. Just searched and found these: http://www.briskoda.net/forums/ice-s...hlight=sat+nav www.satnavsystems.com also available on ebay.....
