Valleyboy22 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Hi all, Looking at a Sony 6cd stereo for my focus which was taken out of the same year focus as mine. The guy said he ain't got the cd changer so debating whether to buy it. I want a mp3 player in my car so thought this was a good idea to get and it's in my budget.

tomtom70 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 What is your question? For MP3 you don't need the changer (in fact, the MP3 capability came later with the changer, I don't remember what year though ..). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valleyboy22 Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 Just wanted really to know sorry if the changer came with it or does the unit itself hold the cds. The guy wants £90 for it so I guess that was a ok price. Need really a mp3 player because it's hassle only being able to put one disc in at a time. Can prob sell mine on then so won't really cost me then getting it? Sent from my GT-I9505 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomtom70 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 The Sony 6CD has the changer integrated (hence the name and the LOAD button on the fascia). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valleyboy22 Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 Can't see the load button on this one?? Does this look like the one integrated Sent from my GT-I9505 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomtom70 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Doesn't look like the 6CD one. The 2nd picture with the label would be interesting (in decent resolution so one can read it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney871 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 That radio is a single disc MP3 model. Each cd can hold about 8 albums in decent MP3 format so tbh a 6 disc one isn't reallly necessary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomtom70 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Exactly - and the single CD player is less likely to fail (break). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Exactly - and the single CD player is less likely to fail (break). Very true. The changer mechanism in a 6 disc can jump and jam up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valleyboy22 Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 Like I said it's out of a same 58 plate focus as mine. £90 it's going for so does that sound ok u think. Got a standard stereo in mine so be happier with a mp3 player and looks nice. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 It's a fair price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valleyboy22 Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 Cheers. How do I use the phone thing on these stereos and guess I need certain leads?? Sent from my GT-I9505 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomtom70 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Same as you do now - as the phone connectivity is in an extra module and not in the radio. If you have bluetooth now, you'll still have it with the new radio, if you don't, you won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valleyboy22 Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 Never used the phone thing because I thought u needed something to use it Sent from my GT-I9505 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 If you have a 'Voice' button on your radio controls on the steering column then you should have the bluetooth module already installed. If not then the kit/wiring isn't cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valleyboy22 Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 Not got anything on my steering column so looks like that won't work then lol. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valleyboy22 Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Well I was let down with my stereo off a eBay seller so looking again. Watching a few more and seen the same one but it's the one that holds 6cds integrated in it and it's a dab. Do I need anything if win it in regards to the dab.

Stoney871 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 For fitting a DAB radio look at my Guides List under this post (visible when viewed on a PC). There's a list of parts required from Ford and all other possible bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
