Well I've finally done it...
Temptation (and a credit card limit increase... ) has proved to much and I now have a CD changer in the beat.
Went out today and bought a CDC628 and it is now nicely fitted to the car. I can't believe how much nicer the music sounds now compared to listening to the radio or a tape.
And I haven't lost any boot space as I have mounted it behind the drivers seat instead so that it is easier to get to if I decide to change the CD's in it
