Freelander 1 CD Changer Change

Good afternoon Landy folk,
Me again... I currently have a CD Changer with a jammed cassette. Before I go fully hammer and toe is there and simple way to get it out or any upgrade that can be adapted to maybe an AUX-IN or IPhone point?

I have similar on my daily Honda (understand I may have set myself up for a fall with that comment!) with has an iPod cable that plugged in where the CD Changer usually would.

Thanks for any help on either front

You can get a Parrot mki9200, does allow me to bluetooth but I've got the Becker navigation stereo.. don't know if it works on the other one. There's an aux in too but mine's in the front passenger footwell. Probably could be threaded somewhere nicer.

I'll look in the footwell

Sorry, no.. if you choose to install a parrot then you'll have that option

@Bounty How does the Parrot system work? Ive always streamed music either through a cable or Bluetooth so having a non working CD player is driving me around the bend

It's a couple of modules you add in behind the stereo which let you communicate with bluetooth. You have to wire it in yourself to the back of the stereo and as part of the ignition and then it just starts up whenever you turn the key. You'll also have to find a way to thread the bluetooth microphone up to the rear view mirror, the screen and somewhere for the remote control which lets you control your phone. Part of the bundle is a 3.5mm jack and a mini USB charging cable which you can thread... somewhere.

With it whenever I get in an turn the key my phone will connect once the engine is going and then I can start the MP3 player going and it will intercept all phone sounds. It'll route incoming calls through the car audio and if - say - you use the CD again and have a SatNav going it'll dip in and out with any audio alerts (speed cameras, speed warning, directional instructions)

@Bounty Beautiful... Thanks for your help mate. I'll look into it his weekend
