Hi All,

I am about to become a new 206 CC owner - my question is - can I use the above MD player in the 206CC and still take full advantage of the audio controls on the stork?

Thanks

Lee

Hi LSainsbury,
Of course you can, but you have to use sony's control because the factory one controls only the basics (src, >>, <<, and vol up/down).
I LOVE to be OUTSIDER!

the only function that you CANT do with a sony stalk is store a radio station as a preset (I havent found it yet anyway)

they are great, BUY THE WIRED ONE AS IT SAVES ON BATTERIES AND THE INFRARED ONE DOESNT ALWAYS WORK WITH THE ROOF DOWN ON A SUNNY DAY. jUST STICK IT WHERE THE PUG STALK IS (well after you take the pug one of first of course)

OOOP sorry Caps lock again :grin:

Hi,

I ment - what other controls are their on the Peugeot 206cc stork...I already have a Sony wired RC for my MD...I'm trying to decide between keeping the factory radio/CD combo or replacing it with my current Sony MDX-C8500R MD / Radio player...I have also heard that CD-Rs can skip in car CD players...any truth in that?

they can on some factory units - its a bit of a lottery.

Change it for the Sony - the sound difference is worth the small amout of hassle

Then again...as you say - I could pull out the factory CD combo and replace with my current Sony MD...and then buy an additional CD changer...but I'm not sure about the cables / location of the changer...any ideas??

the cables all run down the passenger side. There is a chanel in the carpet that they fit into. They then pass through a hole that has been designed for such a thing and then your changer is located on the left hand side of the boot. This will become obvious if you buy a boot tray as these have cut outs in case you fit a CD changer.
